(1) It is the intent of the Legislature that Hinds County, Mississippi, be fully reimbursed for the amount of money contributed by it to the enlargement and renovation of Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium. To that end, the State Treasurer shall pay to the county out of any excess in the Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium Bond Sinking Fund not necessary to pay the debt service on bonds issued pursuant to Sections 55-23-21 through 55-23-43 an amount not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per year or, in his discretion, a greater sum which will expedite such repayment provided the revenue paid into the fund exceeds that projected at the time of passage of Sections 55-23-21 through 55-23-43; provided, however, the percentage of money paid Hinds County shall not exceed the percentage of the state obligation which has been paid. In the event the state refunds bonds issued under Sections 55-23-21 through 55-23-43, the obligation created hereunder to Hinds County shall not be construed to impair such refunding issue but shall be a continuing subordinate obligation of the state until its repayment is effected.

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) to the contrary, the Board of Supervisors of Hinds County may forgive and cancel all or any portion of such obligation of the commission or the State of Mississippi incurred pursuant to Sections 55-23-21 through 55-23-43, by resolution duly entered at any regular meeting to be held, or previously held, in calendar year 1989. However, if the Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium is sold, or any interest in same is permanently conveyed by the State of Mississippi, then Hinds County shall be paid all sums which were previously forgiven or cancelled by Hinds County in accordance with subsection (1) of this section.
