17 (20 ILCS 3515/9) (from Ch. 127, par. 729)
18 Sec. 9. Bonds. The bonds may be issued as serial bonds

21 the revenues and receipts derived from the leasing, financing

1 time or times not exceeding 40 years from the date thereof,

3 without the State of Illinois, may bear interest at such rate
4 or rates per annum without regard to any interest rate
5 limitation appearing in any other law, may be payable at such
6 time or times and at such place or places and evidenced in
7 such manner, may be executed by the manual or facsimile
8 signatures of such officers of the authority, and may contain
9 such provisions not inconsistent with this Act, all as shall
10 be provided in the proceedings of the directing body of the
11 authority. If deemed advisable by the directing body there
12 may be retained in the proceedings under which any bonds of
13 the authority are authorized to be issued an option to redeem
14 all or any part thereof as may be specified in such
15 proceedings, at such price or prices and after such notice or
16 notices and on such terms and conditions as may be set forth
17 in such proceedings, but nothing herein contained shall be
18 construed to confer on the authority the right or option to
19 redeem any bonds except as may be provided in the proceedings
20 under which they shall be issued. Any bonds of the authority
21 may be sold at public or private sale for such price and in
22 such manner and from time to time as may be determined by the
23 directing body of the authority, and the authority may pay
24 all expenses, premiums and commissions which its directing
25 body may deem necessary or advantageous in connection with
26 the issuance thereof. Issuance by the State authority of one
27 or more series of bonds for one or more purposes shall not
28 preclude it from issuing other bonds in connection with the
29 same environmental facility or any other environmental
30 facility or for any other purpose under this Act, but the
31 proceedings whereunder any subsequent bonds may be issued
32 shall recognize and protect any prior pledge made for any
33 prior issue of bonds. Any bonds of the State authority at
34 any time outstanding may at any time and from time to time be
HB1450 Engrossed -4- LRB9003624KDks
1 refunded by the authority by the issuance of its refunding
2 bonds in such amount as the directing body may deem necessary
3 but not exceeding an amount sufficient to refund the
4 principal of the bonds so to be refunded, together with any
5 unpaid interest thereon and any premiums, commissions,
6 service fees and other expenses necessary to be paid in
7 connection therewith. Any such refunding may be effected
8 whether the bonds to be refunded shall have then matured or
9 shall thereafter mature, either by sale of the refunding
10 bonds and the application of the proceeds thereof for the
11 payment of the bonds to be refunded thereby, or by the
12 exchange of the refunding bonds for the bonds to be refunded
13 thereby with the consent of the holders of the bonds so to be
14 refunded, and regardless of whether or not the bonds to be
15 refunded were issued in connection with the same
16 environmental facility or separate environmental facilities
17 or for any other purpose under this Act, and regardless of
18 whether or not the bonds proposed to be refunded shall be
19 payable on the same date or different dates or shall be due
20 serially or otherwise. All such bonds and the interest
21 coupons applicable thereto, if any, are hereby made and shall
22 be construed to be negotiable instruments.
23 The aggregate principal amount of bonds which may be
24 issued and outstanding under this Act by the State authority
25 is $2,500,000,000 $1,600,000,000. In order to carry out the
26 purposes expressed in paragraph (c) of Section 2 hereof,
27 $75,000,000 of such amount shall be allocated by the State
28 authority for the issuance of bonds to finance environmental
29 facilities for small businesses. The State authority shall
30 keep a record of all bonds issued by it under this Act.
