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.

Whenever
any county having a population of less than 200,000, has
outstanding bonds issued for any purpose authorized by law which are

Sec. 6-9002.
Resolution.
Such bonds shall be authorized by a
resolution to be adopted by the county board or the board of county
commissioners (as the case may be). Said resolution shall describe the
principal, interest or both, to be paid, fix the details of the refunding
bonds, including the date, denominations, place of payment, rate of
interest and maturity of the bonds so authorized to be issued pursuant to
the provisions of this Division, and such resolution shall provide for the
levy of a tax sufficient to pay principal of and interest on said refunding
bonds as the same mature. The refunding bonds shall bear interest
at a rate 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 or semiannually, and may mature at such time or times,
(but not more than twenty years from date of bonds) as the resolution shall
fix. Such bonds shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, be attested
by the County Clerk with the seal of the County attached, and be registered
by the County Treasurer. The coupons attached to said bonds may be executed
with the lithographed or facsimile signature of the County Treasurer.
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 authorize counties having a population of less than two hundred thousand
to issue refunding bonds", approved April 22, 1933, 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 authorize counties
having a population of less than two hundred thousand to issue refunding
bonds", approved April 22, 1933, that may appear to be or to have been more
restrictive than those Acts.

Sec. 6-10002.
Ordinance.
The ordinance authorizing the refunding
bonds shall prescribe all details thereof and shall provide for the levy
and collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable property within
the county sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon as
it matures. This tax shall be in addition to and exclusive of the maximum
of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the county. Tax limitations
applicable to the county provided by statutes of this State shall not apply
to taxes levied for payment of these refunding bonds. However, taxes
provided to be levied for payment of refunding bonds of any county shall
not be in excess of the constitutional limitation of 75¢ per $100 valuation
unless that excess is authorized by a vote of the people of the county.
A certified copy of the bond ordinance shall be filed with the county
clerk of the county and shall constitute the authority for the extension
and collection of refunding bond and interest taxes as required by the
constitution.
