All state and local officers are hereby authorized and required to pay all such funds so assigned and pledged to the dormitory authority or, upon the direction of the dormitory authority, to any trustee of any dormitory authority bond or note issued pursuant to a certificate filed with any such state or local officer by the dormitory authority pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision.3.
