History: 1969 act deleted provision limiting interest rate to 6%; P.A. 77-374 included other officers or boards to determine interest rates as well as selectmen or board of finance; P.A. 86-350 made a variety of changes for purposes of clarification, updating the statutes to conform to current financial practices and to conform to anticipated changes in federal tax policy; (Revisor's note: In 1997 the Revisors editorially restored the comma following the word “bonds” in the first sentence, thereby correcting a clerical error in the codification of P.A. 86-350, S. 4).
