 8        (30 ILCS 330/2) (from Ch. 127, par. 652)
 9        Sec. 2. Authorization for Bonds.  The State  of  Illinois
10    is  authorized  to issue, sell and provide for the retirement

13    through 8 of this Act, in the total amount of $16,908,149,369
14    $15,265,007,500.
15        The bonds authorized in this Section 2 and in Section  16
16    of this Act are herein called "Bonds".
17        Of  the  total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, up
18    to $2,200,000,000 in aggregate original principal amount  may
19    be  issued  and  sold  in  accordance  with the Baccalaureate
