 8    takes effect upon the effective date of this  amendatory  Act

15    of General Obligation Bonds of the State of Illinois  in  the
16    total  amount of $10,334,908,392 $8,972,708,392 herein called
17    "Bonds".
18        Of the total amount of  bonds  authorized  above,  up  to
19    $2,200,000,000  in aggregate original principal amount may be
20    issued and sold in accordance with the Baccalaureate  Savings
21    Act in the form of General Obligation College Savings Bonds.

25    in the form of General Obligation Retirement Savings Bonds.
26        The  issuance  and  sale of Bonds pursuant to the General
27    Obligation Bond Act is an economical and efficient method  of
28    financing  the  capital  needs  of  the State.  This Act will
29    permit the issuance of  a  multi-purpose  General  Obligation

 3    cost  of  issuing  debt  by  improving  the  marketability of
 4    Illinois General Obligation Bonds.
 5        Bonds shall be issued for  the  categories  and  specific
