Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

65 ILCS 5/9-2-119

(65 ILCS 5/9-2-119) (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-119)

Sec. 9-2-119.

For the purpose of anticipating the collection of the
second and succeeding installments, provided for in this Division 2, a
municipality may issue bonds, payable out of these installments, bearing
interest at a rate specified in the ordinance referred to in Section 9-2-10 
of this Code and not more than the rate the installments
of the assessment against which the bonds are issued bear,
payable annually and signed by such officers as may be by ordinance
prescribed.  Bonds shall be issued in sums of $100, or some multiple
thereof, and shall be dated and draw interest from the date of their
issuance.  Each bond shall state on its face out of which installment it is
payable, and shall state, by number or other designation, the assessment to
which that installment belongs. The principal of these bonds shall not
exceed, in the aggregate, the amount of the deferred installments, and
shall be divided into as many series as there are deferred installments.

However, if there is a surplus to the credit of any such installment
which is not required for the payment of any vouchers or bonds issued
against that installment, that surplus shall be applied toward the payment
of any outstanding vouchers or bonds already issued or to be issued, as the
case may be, against any other installment or installments.

Each series shall become due at some time in the year in which the
corresponding installment will mature, the date to conform, as nearly as
may be, to the time when that installment will be actually collected. This
time shall be estimated and determined by the municipal officers issuing
the bonds. But it is lawful to provide in the case of any one or more of
the bonds in any series, that that bond or bonds shall not become due until
some subsequent date, not later than December 31 next succeeding the
January in which the installment against which that series is issued will
mature.

The bonds may be in the following form:

any one special assessment proceeding must be of the same type.

Public Act 77-1185 is not a limit upon any municipality which
is a home rule unit.
