The bonds or notes issued pursuant to subsection (1) shall be issued by the commission to fund projects for any purpose for which federal funds received through the intermodal surface transportation efficiency act of 1991 may be used to fulfill the requirements of that act and for any other purpose consistent with state and federal law.
