    Sec. 140-10. Issuance of bonds; terms.
    (a) If a majority of the votes on the question under Section 140-5 are in favor of the question, the township may issue the bonds. To effectuate the issuance of the bonds, the township board shall adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds, prescribing all the details of the issuance and stating when the principal and interest shall become payable and the place of payment. These bonds shall be sold in a manner, at a price, and in denominations determined by the township board. The amount of the bonds issued shall not exceed 2.3% of the value of the taxable property of the township as ascertained by the assessment for the State and county taxes for the preceding year or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum that is produced by multiplying the township's 1978 equalized assessed valuation by the debt limitation percentage in effect on January 1, 1979, nor shall the amount of the bonds issued exceed, including the then existing indebtedness of the township, 5.75% of the value of the taxable property of the township as ascertained by the assessment for the State and county taxes for the preceding year.
    (b) If a majority of the legal voters voting on the proposition at an election held under this Article vote in favor of issuing the bonds, the township board may thereafter issue bonds in an amount not to exceed that approved by the voters at the election. The bonds shall be signed and executed in the name of the township by the members of the township board or by a majority of those members, shall mature not later than 20 years from the date of issuance, and 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. The bonds shall be sold at not less than par.
    (c) With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this Section either before, on, or after June 6, 1989, 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 Article that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of this Article that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts.
