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.
COUNTIES (55 ILCS 5/) Counties Code. 55 ILCS 5/6-10003
(55 ILCS 5/6-10003) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-10003)
Sec. 6-10003.
Exchange or sale of refunding bonds.
The refunding bonds may be exchanged for the bonds to be refunded
on the basis of dollar for dollar for the par value of the bonds, interest
coupons, and interest not represented by coupons, if any. Instead of this
exchange, the refunding bonds may be sold at not less than their par value
and accrued interest. The proceeds received from their sale shall be used
to pay the bonds, interest coupons, and interest not represented by
coupons, if any. This payment may be made without any prior appropriation
therefor under any budget law.
Bonds and interest coupons which have been received in exchange or paid
shall be cancelled and the obligation for interest, not represented by
coupons, which has been discharged, shall be evidenced by a written
acknowledgment of the exchange or payment thereof.

55 ILCS 5/6-10004
(55 ILCS 5/6-10004) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-10004)
Sec. 6-10004.
Form of refunding bonds; maturity.
The
refunding bonds shall be of such form and denomination, payable
at such place, bear such date, and be executed by such officials as may be
provided by the corporate authorities of the county in the bond ordinance.
They shall mature within not to exceed twenty years from their date, and
may be made callable on any interest payment date at par and accrued
interest after notice has been given at the time and in the manner provided
in the bond ordinance.
If there is no default in payment of the principal of or interest upon
the refunding bonds, and if after setting aside a sum of money equal to the
amount of interest that will accrue on the refunding bonds, and a sum of
money equal to the amount of principal that will become due thereon, within
the next six months period, the treasurer and comptroller, if there is a
comptroller, of the county shall use the money available from the proceeds
of taxes levied for the payment of the refunding bonds in calling them for
payment, if, by their terms, they are subject to redemption. However, a
county may provide in the bond ordinance that, whenever the county is not
in default in payment of the principal of or interest upon the refunding
bonds and has set aside the sums of money provided in this paragraph for
interest accruing and principal maturing within the next six months period,
the money available from the proceeds of taxes levied for the payment of
refunding bonds shall be used, first, in the purchase of the refunding
bonds at the lowest price obtainable, but not to exceed their par value and
accrued interest, after sealed tenders for their purchase have been
advertised for as may be directed by the corporate authorities thereof.
Refunding bonds called for payment and paid or purchased under this
Section shall be marked paid and cancelled.

(55 ILCS 5/6-10005) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-10005)
Sec. 6-10005.
Reduction of tax.
Whenever any refunding bonds are
purchased and cancelled, as provided in Section 6-10004, the taxes
thereafter to be extended for payment of the principal of and the interest
on the remainder of the issue shall be reduced in an amount equal to the
principal of and the interest that would have thereafter accrued upon the
refunding bonds so cancelled. A resolution shall be adopted by the
corporate authorities of the county finding these facts. A certified copy
of this resolution shall be filed with the county clerk, whereupon the
county clerk shall reduce and extend such tax levies in accordance therewith.
Whenever refunding bonds are issued, proper reduction of taxes,
theretofore levied for the payment of the bonds refunded and next to be
extended for collection, shall be made by the county clerk upon receipt of
a certificate signed by the treasurer and the comptroller, if there is a
comptroller, of the county, showing the bonds refunded and the tax to be
abated.
