(b) On request of the board, the bond review board by resolution may waive during any state fiscal year the limits provided by Subsection (a) and authorize the board to issue an additional amount of bonds if the bond review board finds that the amount of bonds authorized for that state fiscal year has been exhausted or there is not a sufficient amount of bonds to meet needs of the program during the state fiscal year and that the public health and safety require immediate authorization of additional bonds.  Before the bond review board adopts such a resolution, it shall give notice and hold a hearing to determine whether the limits should be waived and the authorization given.
