(a) Before or at the time of issuing any Bonds, the Authority shall provide by resolution for the levy and collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable property located within the school district without limit as to rate or amount sufficient to pay and discharge the principal thereof at maturity or on sinking fund installment dates and to pay the interest thereon as it falls due. The taxes as levied shall also include such additional amounts to the extent that the collections in the prior years were insufficient to pay and discharge such principal thereof at maturity, such sinking fund installments, if any, and interest thereon as it fell due and the amount so collected shall be placed in the debt service reserve fund. Such tax shall be in addition to and exclusive of the maximum of all taxes which the Authority, the Board or the City Council of the City is now, or may hereafter be, authorized by law to levy for any and all school purposes. Any such resolution shall be in force upon its adoption. (b) Such levy shall be for the sole benefit of the holders of the Bonds and the holders of the Bonds shall have a security interest in, and lien upon, all rights, claims and interests of the Authority arising pursuant to such levy and all present and future proceeds of such levy until principal of and sinking fund installments and interest on the Bonds are paid in full. All proceeds from such levy shall be deposited by each county collector directly in the debt service funds established pursuant to Section 34A-504 hereof and shall be applied solely for the payment of principal of and sinking fund installments and interest on the Bonds and shall not be used for any other purpose. A levy with respect to Bonds issued prior to July 1, 1993 (or to refund or continue the refunding of Bonds issued prior to July 1, 1993) shall be for the sole benefit of holders of Bonds issued prior to July 1, 1993 (or to refund or continue the refunding of Bonds issued prior to July 1, 1993). A levy with respect to Bonds issued on or after July 1, 1993 (other than to refund or to continue the refunding of Bonds issued prior to July 1, 1993) shall be for the sole benefit of owners of Bonds issued on or after July 1, 1993 (other than to refund or to continue the refunding of Bonds issued prior to July 1, 1993). Proceeds of taxes levied under this Section shall be deposited in the debt service fund relating to the Bonds with respect to which the taxes were levied. (c) Upon the filing in the office of the county clerk of each county wherein the Board is located of a duly certified copy of any such ordinance, it shall be the duty of each such county clerk to extend the tax therein provided for, including an amount determined by the Authority to cover loss and cost of collection and also deferred collections thereof and abatements in the amount of such taxes as extended on the collectors' books. The tax shall be separate and apart from all other taxes of the Authority, the Board and the City and shall be separately identified by the collectors.
