Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

65 ILCS 5/11-130-12

(65 ILCS 5/11-130-12) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-130-12)

Sec. 11-130-12.

Whenever all of the holders of unpaid water revenue
certificates of a particular issue, which were issued prior to July 8,
1927, to pay the cost of constructing waterworks and are payable from the
revenue thereof, offer in writing to exchange the certificates for
refunding revenue bonds to be issued under this Division 130, the corporate
authorities shall receive the certificates, and if found to be properly
executed, may adopt an ordinance incorporating therein the offer of the
certificate holders. This ordinance shall set forth the determined value of
the waterworks as it then exists, the value of as much of the waterworks as
was paid for by the issue of certificates, the unpaid portion of which are
proposed to be refunded, and the details in connection with the issuance of
the refunding revenue bonds in the same manner as is provided for in this
Division 130. The ordinance also shall fix the minimum rates to be charged
for water and pledge that revenue, if and when the refunding revenue bonds
are issued, to pay these refunding revenue bonds. The revenue shall be
applied as provided in this Division 130 and particularly in Sections
11-130-8 and 11-130-9.

The amount of the refunding revenue bonds shall not exceed and may be
less than the par amount of the certificates to be surrendered and shall
not exceed and may be less than the determined value of so much of the
waterworks as was paid for by that issue of certificates, less the amount
of certificates paid. The ordinance shall be published, or posted, together
with a notice of a hearing thereon, and a hearing shall be had thereon, in
the same manner as is provided in this Division 130. After such a hearing
the refunding revenue bonds specified in the offer may be issued, or a less
amount thereof may be issued with the consent of the certificate holders,
or the ordinance may be repealed, as the corporate authorities shall
determine. If the refunding revenue bonds are issued, the certificates
shall be surrendered and cancelled simultaneously therewith. Refunding
revenue bonds issued under this Division 130 shall be payable only out of
revenue derived from the waterworks as provided in the ordinance and
according to the terms of this Division 130. Holders of refunding revenue
bonds issued under this Division 130 have rights similar to those of
holders of revenue bonds issued under this Division 130, including the
power to apply for a receiver to operate the waterworks. The municipality
is under the same obligations to the refunding bondholders as it is to
holders of revenue bonds issued under this Division 130.
