§ 10-5.

Tax levy ordinances of the Maywood Public Library District. If the Maywood Public Library District has, during the fiscal years 2001 and 2002, within the time required by law adopted annual appropriation ordinances for those years but failed to adopt its annual tax levy ordinance for the tax year 2001 (collectible in 2002), but adopts its 2001 tax levy or a supplemental or deficiency 2001 tax levy, or both, by the last Tuesday of December 2002, and duly files the same with the county clerk of the county in which the district is located, then any such tax levy ordinances and supplemental or deficiency tax levy ordinance and the taxes assessed, levied, and extended thereon are hereby validated notwithstanding any failure to comply with the Truth in Taxation Law or the Cook County Truth in Taxation Law and further notwithstanding any failure to comply with the provisions of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law or any other law. No 2001 tax levy or supplemental or deficiency levy, however, is validated to the extent it would have exceeded the maximum amount the district could have levied under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law if the tax levy ordinance or supplemental or deficiency levy ordinance had been adopted and filed in due time in calendar year 2001. Any such tax levy or supplemental or deficiency levy shall be extended by the county clerk of the county in which the public library district is located by adding the amount of the 2001 tax levy or supplemental or deficiency levy to the district's validly enacted 2002 tax levy, regardless of whether that 2001 tax levy is in the form of a customary annual tax levy or in the form of a supplemental or deficiency tax levy. Moreover, if the district has received any tax revenue for the calendar year 2001 intended for the payment of principal and interest on outstanding bonds of the district and the district has used any portion or all of that tax revenue for normal operating expenses, that use of those funds is hereby validated if the district issues either tax anticipation warrants or notes to provide funds sufficient to replace that bond revenue used for operating expenses prior to default on any bond payments; further, the use of the proceeds of the issuance of those notes or warrants to make the bond payments when due is further hereby validated.
