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.

(65 ILCS 5/11-114-3) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-114-3)
Sec. 11-114-3.
Subject to the provisions of this Division 114 the corporate
authorities of any municipality specified in this Division 114 may issue
bonds for the purposes authorized. These bonds shall (1) be issued in the
name of the municipality, (2) be attested by the municipal clerk, (3) bear
interest at a rate of not to exceed
the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the
time of the making of the contract, payable annually, and (4)
mature at such time not exceeding 20 years from the date thereof, as is
specified in the bonds. The proceeds of the bonds shall be used exclusively
for the purposes authorized by this Division 114.
An annual tax which, when considered in the aggregate for the period for
which the bonds are issued, will be sufficient to pay the principal and
interest of the bonds, may be levied for the payment thereof.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, 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 Act that may appear
to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary
authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments
issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of
this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.
Any bonds issued under this Section as limited bonds as defined in Section
3 of
the Local Government Debt Reform Act shall comply with the requirements of the
Bond Issue Notification Act.
