The state board of finance shall periodically establish the rate or rates of interest payable on advances made under this chapter as long as the established interest rate or rates are not less than one percent (1%) and do not exceed four percent (4%).

(2) The state board may provide that the advances made under this chapter are prepayable at any time.
