Illinois § 30-105

§ 30-105.

Tax warrants. (a) When there is insufficient money in the general fund to defray the necessary expenses of the district, and the working cash fund has been drawn upon and depleted, the board may cause warrants to be issued and drawn against and in anticipation of any taxes levied for the payment of the necessary expenses of the district, but only to the extent of 85% of the total amount of tax levied. The warrants shall show upon their face that they are payable in numerical order of their issuance solely from the taxes when collected and shall be received by any county collector of taxes in payment of the taxes against which they are issued. The taxes shall be set apart and held for payment of the warrants. (b) Every warrant shall bear interest payable only out of the taxes against which it is drawn, at a rate not exceeding the interest rate established by statute, from the date of its issuance until paid, or until notice is given by publication in a newspaper or otherwise that the money for its payment is available and that the warrant will be paid on presentation. Warrants not presented pursuant to the notice shall, after the due date, carry a lower rate of interest as specified, but not less than 3% and for only one year. After that 1-year term, the warrant shall bear no interest. (Source: P.A. 87-1277.)
