§ 20-27-4-5 — Loans

(a) If a school corporation requires funds to
purchase a school bus for cash, the school corporation may, instead of
issuing general obligation bonds, negotiate for and borrow funds or
purchase the school bus on an installment conditional sales contract or
a promissory note secured by the school bus.
(b) To effect a loan, the school corporation shall execute a
negotiable note or notes to the lender. The notes may not extend for
more than six (6) years.
(c) Before a note described in this section is executed, an
appropriation for the amount of the purchase price of the school bus
and any incidental expenses connected with the purchase or the loan,
must be made in the same manner as other appropriations are made,
except that the amount of the appropriation is not limited by the
amount of funds available at the time of the loan or purchase or by the
amount of funds to be raised by a tax levy effective at the time of the
loan.
(d) A petition to borrow, a notice to taxpayers, or other formality is
not necessary to borrow funds under this section except as specifically
provided in this chapter.
