(1) In its discretion the governing body of a political subdivision may file or cause to be filed a petition at any time in the judicial district court in and for the district in which the political subdivision is located wholly or in part, praying a judicial examination and determination of the validity of any bond or obligation or of any agreement or security instrument related thereto, of the political subdivision, whether or not such bond or obligation agreement has been validly exercised, or executed. The filing of the petition shall have been authorized by the governing body having adopted a resolution or ordinance authorizing such filing after conducting a public hearing as defined in subsection (3) of this section.
(2) Such petition shall make a clear statement of the legal authority for the proposed expenditure, shall set forth the facts on which the validity of such bond or obligation is founded and shall be verified by the executive officer of the political subdivision.
(3) Prior to the filing of the petition described in subsection (1) above, the governing body of a political subdivision shall hold a public hearing to consider whether it should adopt a resolution or ordinance authorizing the filing of the petition. Any person may make a request for notice of all meetings of the governing body of a political subdivision at which a public hearing will be held to consider a resolution or ordinance authorizing the filing of a petition described in subsection (1) of this section, by submitting to the governing body a written request for notice, which request shall be valid until December 31 of the year in which it was filed.
