Illinois Statutes Chapter 105. Schools § 5/34-24. Numbering of warrants--Setting apart taxes--Interest

§ 34-24. Numbering of warrants--Setting apart taxes--Interest. Warrants drawn and issued under Section 34-23 shall be numbered consecutively in the order of their issuance and shall show upon their face that they are payable solely from said taxes when collected, and not otherwise, and that payment thereof will be made in the order of their issuance, beginning with the warrant having the lowest number, and shall be received by any collector of taxes in payment of taxes against which they are issued. Such taxes against which the warrants are drawn shall be set apart and held for their payment, as herein provided. Such warrants shall bear interest, payable out of the taxes against which they are drawn, at the rate of not to exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended  1 at the time of the making of the contract, if issued before July 1, 1971 and if issued thereafter at the rate of not to exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract, from the date of their issuance until paid, or until notice is given by publication in a newspaper or otherwise that the money for their payment is available and that they will be paid on presentation.

Reissued warrants shall bear the index numerical designation of the original warrant, shall be subnumbered consecutively in the order of reissuance, and shall be paid in the direct order of reissuance, beginning with the earliest subnumber. All warrants so reissued shall be paid prior to the payment of any warrant, or any reissuance thereof, issued subsequently to the date of issuance of such original warrant and in anticipation of the collection of the same tax.

Any such outstanding warrants may be paid in the order of their issuance, beginning with the warrants having the lowest number.

With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts  2 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 Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts.
