| 11 | | No school districts maintaining grades K through 8 or 9 | 12 | | through 12
shall become indebted in any manner or for any | 13 | | purpose to an amount,
including existing indebtedness, in the | 14 | | aggregate exceeding 6.9% on the
value of the taxable property | 15 | | therein to be ascertained by the last assessment
for State and | 16 | | county taxes or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum | 17 | | that
is produced by multiplying the school district's 1978 | 18 | | equalized assessed
valuation by the debt limitation percentage | 19 | | in effect on January 1, 1979,
previous to the incurring of such | 20 | | indebtedness.
| 21 | | No school districts maintaining grades K through 12 shall | 22 | | become
indebted in any manner or for any purpose to an amount, | 23 | | including
existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding |
| | | HB3500 Enrolled | - 2 - | LRB103 25591 RJT 51940 b |
|
| 1 | | 13.8% on the value of
the taxable property therein to be | 2 | | ascertained by the last assessment
for State and county taxes | 3 | | or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum that
is produced | 4 | | by multiplying the school district's 1978 equalized assessed
| 5 | | valuation by the debt limitation percentage in effect on | 6 | | January 1, 1979,
previous to the incurring of such | 7 | | indebtedness.
| 8 | | No partial elementary unit district, as defined in Article | 9 | | 11E of this Code, shall become indebted in any manner or for | 10 | | any purpose in an amount, including existing indebtedness, in | 11 | | the aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value of the taxable | 12 | | property of the entire district, to be ascertained by the last | 13 | | assessment for State and county taxes, plus an amount, | 14 | | including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding | 15 | | 6.9% of the value of the taxable property of that portion of | 16 | | the district included in the elementary and high school | 17 | | classification, to be ascertained by the last assessment for | 18 | | State and county taxes. Moreover, no partial elementary unit | 19 | | district, as defined in Article 11E of this Code, shall become | 20 | | indebted on account of bonds issued by the district for high | 21 | | school purposes in the aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value | 22 | | of the taxable property of the entire district, to be | 23 | | ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, | 24 | | nor shall the district become indebted on account of bonds | 25 | | issued by the district for elementary purposes in the | 26 | | aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value of the taxable property |

|
| 1 | | for that portion of the district included in the elementary | 2 | | and high school classification, to be ascertained by the last | 3 | | assessment for State and county taxes.
| 4 | | Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the | 5 | | contrary, in any
case in which the voters of a school district | 6 | | have approved a proposition
for the issuance of bonds of such | 7 | | school district at an election held prior
to January 1, 1979, | 8 | | and all of the bonds approved at such election have
not been | 9 | | issued, the debt limitation applicable to such school district
| 10 | | during the calendar year 1979 shall be computed by multiplying | 11 | | the value
of taxable property therein, including personal | 12 | | property, as ascertained
by the last assessment for State and | 13 | | county taxes, previous to the incurring
of such indebtedness, | 14 | | by the percentage limitation applicable to such school
| 15 | | district under the provisions of this subsection (a).
| 16 | | (a-5) After January 1, 2018, no school district may issue | 17 | | bonds under Sections 19-2 through 19-7 of this Code and rely on | 18 | | an exception to the debt limitations in this Section unless it | 19 | | has complied with the requirements of Section 21 of the Bond | 20 | | Issue Notification Act and the bonds have been approved by | 21 | | referendum. | 22 | | (b) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in | 23 | | subsection (a)
of this Section, additional indebtedness may be | 24 | | incurred in an amount

| | | HB3500 Enrolled | - 5 - | LRB103 25591 RJT 51940 b |
|
| 1 | | will be
outstanding in bonds if the proposed issuance of | 2 | | bonds is approved by
the voters; or
| 3 | | (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1) | 4 | | through (3) of

such facilities, the school district | 10 | | may issue bonds for this
purpose; or
| 11 | | (5) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1) | 12 | | through (3) of this

| 25 | | In no event shall the indebtedness incurred pursuant to | 26 | | this
subsection (b) and the existing indebtedness of the |
| | | HB3500 Enrolled | - 6 - | LRB103 25591 RJT 51940 b |
|
| 1 | | school district
exceed 15% of the value of the taxable | 2 | | property therein to be
ascertained by the last assessment for | 3 | | State and county taxes, previous
to the incurring of such | 4 | | indebtedness or, until January 1, 1983, if greater,

an | 15 | | election held on or prior to November 8, 1994, and in which the | 16 | | bonds

|
| 1 | | indebtedness of the district existing

both such purposes.
| 16 | | (2) The bonds issued by the school district as | 17 | | provided in paragraph (1)
