Text

All bonds issued under this Division shall bear interest of not more than the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract, and may be sold by the issuing authority in such manner as may be in the public interest; provided, that such bonds shall be sold at such price that the interest cost of the proceeds therefrom will not exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract, based on the average maturity of such bonds, and computed according to standard tables of bond values. Such bonds shall be payable solely and only from the revenues to be derived from the operation of the home for the financing of which they are issued; and such fact shall be plainly stated on the face of each bond. Such bonds shall be deemed negotiable instruments. They shall bear such date or dates and may mature at such time or times, not exceeding 40 years from their date or dates, and may be in such form, carry such registration privilege, may be payable at such place or places, may be subject to such terms of redemption, prior to maturity with or without premium, as so stated on the face of each bond, may contain such terms and covenants, as may be determined by the issuing authority. Such bonds shall be executed by the chairman of the county board and the county treasurer. Any bonds bearing the signatures of officers in office at the date of signing thereof shall be valid and binding for all purposes, notwithstanding that before delivery thereof any or all such persons whose signatures appear thereon shall cease to be such officers. Signatures on bonds may be facsimile. Every home shall be financed by a separate bond issue. 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 in relation to homes for the aged", approved July 21, 1959, 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 in relation to homes for the aged", approved July 21, 1959, that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts.
