All moneys received pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, whether as proceeds from the issue of bonds, as revenues, or otherwise, shall be deemed to be trust funds to be held and applied solely as provided in this chapter. All such trust funds shall be deposited, upon receipt, into the federal highway grant anticipation bond trust fund, which is hereby established as a subaccount of the highway fund.

Such funds may be applied by the state, without appropriation, solely for the purposes of paying the principal or purchase price of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on such bonds in the fiscal year in which such funds are received, or in any subsequent fiscal year, as such amounts come due or may be paid or deemed paid prior to maturity in accordance with their terms and further satisfying the terms of any trust or security agreement or resolution entered into in accordance with RSA 228-A:3 or credit facility entered into in accordance with RSA 228-A:4. Such payments with respect to the bonds may include, without limitation, the payment of any fees and expenses related to the bonds, maintaining reserves, if any, under any trust or security agreement or resolution or credit facility and paying reimbursement amounts in respect of any credit facility.
