 1    in the form of General Obligation Retirement Savings Bonds.
 2        The  issuance  and  sale of Bonds pursuant to the General
 3    Obligation Bond Act is an economical and efficient method  of
 4    financing  the  capital  needs  of  the State.  This Act will
 5    permit the issuance of  a  multi-purpose  General  Obligation
 6    Bond  with  uniform  terms  and features.  This will not only
 7    lower the cost of registration but also  reduce  the  overall
 8    cost  of  issuing  debt  by  improving  the  marketability of
 9    Illinois General Obligation Bonds.
