Text

After adoption, the clerk shall publish the bond order once, with the following statement appended:
"The foregoing order was adopted on the ______ day of ______, ____, and is hereby published this ______ day of ______, ____. Any action or proceeding questioning the validity of the order must be begun within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. The finance officer of the [issuing unit] has filed a statement estimating that the total amount of interest that will be paid on the bonds over the expected term of the bonds, if issued, is $______. A tax is authorized to be levied to pay the principal and interest on the bonds if they are issued. The finance officer has filed a statement estimating that [a property tax increase of $______ per $100.00 of assessed valuation] [no property tax increase] will be required to provide sufficient funds to pay the principal and interest on the proposed bonds. These estimates are preliminary, are for general informational purposes only, and may differ from the actual interest paid on the bonds or the actual property tax increases required to provide sufficient funds to pay the principal and interest on the bonds.
Clerk"
The publication may include a summary of the assumptions upon which the estimates of the total amount of interest that will be paid on the bonds over the expected term of the bonds if issued, or the amount of any property tax increase required to provide sufficient funds to pay the principal and interest on the bonds if issued, are based, and may further state that there is no assurance that the circumstances included in the assumptions will occur, that the occurrence of certain of the assumptions is beyond the control of the issuing unit, and that differences between the actual circumstances at the time the bonds are issued from the assumptions included in the estimates could result in significant differences between the estimated interest and the actual interest on the bonds or the actual property tax increases required to provide sufficient funds to pay the principal and interest on the bonds. The statement may include such additional qualifications as the unit deems appropriate. The validity of bonds authorized to be issued pursuant to this act is not subject to challenge on the grounds that the actual interest cost of the bonds when issued, or the actual property tax increases required to provide sufficient funds to pay the principal and interest on the bonds when issued, is different than the amount set forth in the estimates referenced in the publication of the bond order as adopted.
