Notes issued under this Division shall be due not more than 12 months from the date of issue and shall be payable at any time when the County Treasurer has funds sufficient to pay all or a portion of such issue. Notes issued under this Division shall bear interest at not more than the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract, if issued before January 1, 1972 and not more than the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract, if issued after that date, payable annually or semi-annually or at the time of payment of principal. The interest to the due date of the note may be represented by appropriate coupons and be executed by the facsimile signature of the County Treasurer. No notes shall be issued under this Division after the tax to be anticipated is delinquent. No notes shall be issued or sold, unless such issuance and sale is authorized by a vote of at least 2/3 of the members elected to the County Board. The notes shall be sold to the highest responsible bidder after due advertisement and public opening of bids. The County Board may authorize notes to be issued and sold from time to time and in such amounts as the County Treasurer deems necessary to provide funds to pay obligations due or to accrue within each quarterly period of the fiscal year. Notes issued under this Division shall be received by any collector of taxes in payment of taxes against which they are issued at par plus accrued interest, and when so received shall be cancelled with the same effect as though paid pursuant to this Division. Such notes shall be signed by the presiding officer of the Board, be attested by the Comptroller and be countersigned by the Treasurer. Such notes shall be payable to bearer provided that the notes may be registered as to principal in the name of the holder on the books of the County Treasurer and evidence of such registration shall be endorsed upon the back of notes so registered. After such registration no transfer shall be made except upon such books and similarly noted on the note unless the last registration was to bearer. Such notes may be re-registered from time to time in the name of the designated holder but such registration shall not affect the negotiability of the coupons attached. 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 concerning the anticipation of taxes and obligations in respect thereof in counties having more than 1,000,000 population", approved May 22, 1929, 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 concerning the anticipation of taxes and obligations in respect thereof in counties having more than 1,000,000 population", approved May 22, 1929, that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts.
