§ 16-5-408. Signing, countersigning, execution or attestation of notes; facsimile seals and signatures.

Any anticipation notes or interest coupon may be signed, countersigned, executed or attested by the public official or officials who are authorized by law at the time of the issuance of the anticipation notes to sign, countersign, execute or attest bonds or interest coupons of the issuer of the same general character as those bonds in anticipation of which the notes are being issued. In the alternative, the governing body may designate appropriate public officials to sign, countersign, execute or attest any anticipation note or appurtenant coupon, if any. Any officer so authorized or designated may utilize a facsimile signature in lieu of his manual signature in the manner provided by law, provided that compliance with any law other than this act is not a condition of execution with a facsimile signature of any interest coupon. The facsimile seal shall have the same legal effect as the impression of the seal. Anticipation notes and any coupons bearing the signatures of officers in office on the date of the signing thereof shall be valid and binding obligations of the issuer, notwithstanding that before the delivery thereof and payment therefor any or all persons whose signatures appear thereon have ceased to fill their respective offices. Any officer of the issuer authorized or designated to sign, countersign, execute or attest any anticipation note or interest coupon, at the time of its execution or of the execution of a signature certificate, may adopt as and for his or her facsimile signature the facsimile signature of his or her predecessor in office in the event that such facsimile signature appears upon the anticipation note or coupons appertaining thereto, or upon both the anticipation notes and such coupons, after their delivery for value.
