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.

Sec. 6-12001.
Authorization.
Any county having a population of less
than 5,000 inhabitants is authorized to issue bonds for the purpose of
paying claims against such county, which were incurred on or before January
1, 1964 for any purpose or purposes for which the county is obligated to
pay or provide funds to pay. Such bonds may be issued in an amount,
including existing indebtedness, in excess of any statutory limitation as
to debt, but not to exceed the constitutional debt limitation, without
submitting the proposition of issuing the bonds or the levying of a tax to
pay the same to the voters of said county.

Sec. 6-12003.
Issuance of bonds; maturity.
All bonds
issued under the provisions of this Division shall be signed
in the name of the county by the chairman of the county board and shall be
countersigned by the county clerk and shall have the seal of the county
attached thereto. Such bonds shall mature at such time or times as is fixed
by said county board provided that all of such bonds shall mature within 20
years from their date and bear interest at 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 semi-annually, and may be sold
as the county board may direct at not less than par and accrued interest,
and the proceeds derived from the sale thereof shall be used solely and
only for the payment of such claims, or the bonds may be exchanged par for
par for such claims, such bonds may be delivered from time to time or all
at one time.
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 any county having a population of less than 5,000 to issue
funding bonds and to provide for the validation of claims to
be paid by or
from the proceeds of such bonds, and to provide for a tax to pay the
principal and interest of said bonds", approved August 15, 1961, 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 any
county having a population of less than 5,000 to issue funding bonds and to
provide for the validation of claims to be paid by or from the proceeds of
such bonds, and to provide for a tax to pay the principal and interest of
said bonds", approved August 15, 1961, that may appear to be or to have
been more restrictive than those Acts.

Sec. 6-12004.
Bond resolution; tax levy.
Such
bonds may be issued at any time and
from time to time and at
the time of issuing any such bonds, the county board shall provide by
resolution the date of maturity of each bond, the rate of interest, and
shall also provide in said resolution for the collection of a direct annual
tax upon all the taxable property within such county sufficient to pay and
discharge the principal of any such bonds at maturity, and to pay the
interest thereon as it falls due. A certified copy of such resolution shall
be filed in the office of the county clerk, as tax extension officer of
said county, and he shall extend the tax therein provided for each of the
years while any of such bonds are outstanding. Such tax shall be in
addition to any and all other taxes now or hereafter authorized to be
levied by such county within the Constitutional limitation, and shall not
be included in any statutory limitation of rate or amount but shall be
excluded therefrom and be in excess thereof.
