(55 ILCS 5/6-28002) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-28002)
Sec. 6-28002.
Bond issue.
For the purpose of creating such fund any
such county by resolution of its county board may incur an indebtedness and
issue bonds therefor in an amount or amounts not exceeding in the aggregate
$1,000,000 in addition to bonds in the amount of $1,600,000 heretofore
authorized and issued for that purpose. Such bonds shall bear interest at a
rate of not more than the maximum rate authorized by the Bond
Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract,
and shall mature within 20 years from the date
thereof. The county board may provide that the resolution or resolutions
authorizing the issue of such bonds shall be operative, effective and valid
without the submission thereof to the voters of such county by approval in
accordance with the requirements of Section 5-1008. The county
board of such county shall, before or at the time of issuing such bonds,
provide for the collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable
property of such county sufficient to pay and discharge the principal
thereof at maturity and to pay the interest thereon as it falls due.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section or its predecessor either before, on, or after the effective date
of Public Act 86-4, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Division or "An Act
to provide for the creation, setting apart, maintenance and administration
of a county highway working cash fund in counties having a population of
five hundred thousand or more inhabitants, and providing for a penalty",
approved August 8, 1947, that may appear to be or to have been more
restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the provisions of this Section or
its predecessor are not a limitation on the supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments issued under this
Section or its predecessor within the supplementary authority granted by
the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of this
Division or "An Act to provide for the creation, setting apart,
maintenance and administration of a county highway working cash fund in
counties having a population of five hundred thousand or more inhabitants,
and providing for a penalty", approved August 8, 1947, that may
appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts.
