(2)	The General Assembly will not enact an appropriation to establish the "More at Four" Prekindergarten Program for four-year-old children who are at risk for school failure; or
(3)	Notwithstanding the provisions of S.L. 2000-3 or any other provision of law, the State Treasurer shall not issue or sell, during the 2001-2002 fiscal year, university improvement general obligation bonds of the State.
