Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

| All moneys so borrowed shall be repaid exclusively from the anticipated revenues within 60 days after the revenues have been received.
(b) Borrowing authorized under subsections (a) and (a-5) of this
Section shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed the

the date of issuance until paid.
(c) Prior to borrowing or establishing a line
of credit under this Section, the board shall authorize, by resolution,
the borrowing or line of credit. The resolution
shall set forth facts demonstrating the need for the
borrowing or line of credit, state the amount to be borrowed,
establish a maximum interest rate limit not to exceed that
set forth in subsection (b) of this Section, and provide a
date by which the borrowed funds shall be repaid. The
resolution shall direct the relevant officials to make arrangements to
set apart and hold the taxes or other revenue, as received,
that will be used to repay the borrowing. In addition, the
resolution may authorize the relevant officials to make
partial repayments of the borrowing as the taxes or other revenues become

limitations not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Section.
