(60 ILCS 1/150-20)
Sec. 150-20.
Issuance of bonds.
(a) If a majority of the legal voters voting on the question at an election
held under this Article, vote in favor of issuing bonds for community building
purposes, the board of managers 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 board of
managers or 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, payable annually or semi-annually as the
board of managers determines. The bonds shall be sold at not less than par.
(b) 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.
