Illinois Compiled Statutes

Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

Revenue bonds issued under this Division 23 shall be signed by the president and secretary of the hospital board and by the mayor and city clerk or commissioner of accounts and finance of the city and shall be payable from revenue derived from the operation of the public hospital. These bonds shall not in any event constitute an indebtedness of the city within the meaning of any constitutional provision or limitation. It shall be plainly written or printed on the face of each bond that the bond has been issued under the provisions of Sections 11-23-13 and 11-23-14, that the bond, including the interest thereon, is payable from the revenue pledged to the payment thereof, and that it does not constitute an indebtedness or obligation of the city within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or provision. No holder of any such revenue bond has the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the city to pay such bond or interest thereon. This ordinance shall be published and shall take effect as provided in Section 1-2-4.
