903	903	of those bond proceeds that must be allocated among the systems in proportion to the amount of
904	904	principal and interest otherwise required to be paid by each. Each higher education system shall
905	905	pay its annual share of debt service payments to the commissioner of management and budget by
906	906	December 1 each year. If a higher education system fails to make a payment when due, the
907	907	commissioner of management and budget shall reduce allotments for appropriations from the general
908	908	fund otherwise payable to the system to cover the amount of the missed debt service payment. The
