(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes, [to the contrary,] the Treasurer may invest as much of the funds of any trust fund as are not required for current disbursements, in loans to mortgage lenders, subject to the following conditions: (1) Any such investment shall be secured as to payment of both principal and interest by a pledge of and lien upon collateral security of such nature, in such amounts and under such terms as the Treasurer shall determine; (2) any such mortgage lender shall within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the Treasurer, following receipt by such mortgage lender of the loan proceeds, enter into written commitments to make and shall thereafter proceed as promptly as practicable to make and disburse loans from such loan proceeds, in an aggregate principal amount not less than the amount of such loan proceeds, and each such loan shall be secured by a mortgage of residential real property containing not more than four dwelling units and situated within the state, provided no more than twenty million dollars in such loans to mortgage lenders shall be outstanding at any one time and no more than ten million dollars in such loans shall be made in any one fiscal year, and further provided, the aggregate of such loans outstanding to any single mortgage lender shall not exceed the greater of one million dollars or one per cent of the deposits of such mortgage lender. Pension and retirement fund contributors shall be afforded a preference with respect to receipt of loans made under the provisions of this section, subject to such procedures as the Treasurer may prescribe.
