# B.
The state board of finance shall publish a notice of the time and place of sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the state, and also in a recognized financial journal outside the state. Such publication shall be made once at least five business days prior to the date fixed for such sale. Such notice shall specify the amount, denomination, maturity and description of the bonds to be offered for sale and the place, day and hour at which bids therefor shall be received and publicly examined. All bids shall be sealed or sent by facsimile or other electronic transmission to the state board of finance as set forth in the notice. All bids, except that of the state, shall be accompanied by a deposit of two percent of the bid price, either in the form of a financial surety bond or in cash or by cashier's check or treasurer's check of, or by certified check drawn on, a solvent commercial bank or trust company in the United States. The financial surety bond or the long-term debt obligations of the issuer or person guarantying the obligations of the issuer of the financial surety bond shall be rated in one of the top two rating categories of a nationally recognized rating agency, without regard to any modification of the rating, and the financial surety bond shall be issued by an insurance company licensed to issue such a bond in New Mexico. Deposits of unsuccessful bidders shall be returned upon rejection of the bid.
# C.
At the time and place specified in such notice, bids shall be publicly examined and the bonds, or any part thereof, shall be awarded to the bidder or bidders offering the best price therefor. Before delivering any bonds sold, the state treasurer shall detach therefrom and cancel all interest coupons that may have matured prior to the date of delivery. The state board of finance may reject any or all bids and readvertise.
The state board of finance may sell a severance tax bond or supplemental severance tax bond issue, or any part thereof, to the state at private sale.
