(2) Any revenue obligations of a public body may be refunded by the issuance of general obligation refunding bonds only if the public body would be authorized by law to issue general obligations for the purposes for which such revenue obligations were originally issued at the time of the issuance of said refunding bonds, whether or not the public body was so authorized at the time of the issuance of such revenue obligations.
