(65 ILCS 5/11-25-4) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-25-4)
Sec. 11-25-4.
Every specified city may issue its bonds from time to time
in anticipation of its revenue from its contagious or communicable disease
hospitals. These bonds may be authorized by an ordinance of the corporate
authorities and may be issued in one or more series, may bear such dates,
mature at such times, not exceeding 20 years from their respective dates,
bear interest at such rates not exceeding the maximum rate authorized by
the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the
contract, payable semiannually, be in such denominations, be in such form,
either coupon or registered, be executed in such manner, be payable in such
medium of payment, at such places, be subject to such terms of redemption,
with or without premium, and be declared or become due before the maturity
date, as the ordinance may provide. These bonds may be issued and sold or
pledged without submission thereof to the electors of the city as provided
by Sections 8-4-1 and 8-4-2. These bonds may be repurchased by the
municipality out of any available funds at a price not to exceed the
principal amount thereof and accrued interest, and all bonds so repurchased
shall be cancelled. Pending the preparation or execution of definitive
bonds, interim receipts or certificates or temporary bonds may be delivered
to the purchasers or pledgees of the bonds. The bonds bearing the
signatures of officers in office on the date of the signing thereof are
valid and binding obligations notwithstanding that before the delivery
thereof and payment therefor any or all of the persons whose signatures
appear thereon have ceased to be officers. No holder of any bond issued
under this section has the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power
of the municipality to pay the bond or the interest thereon. Each bond
issued under this section shall recite in substance that the bond,
including the interest thereon, is payable from the revenue pledged to the
payment thereof and that the bond does not constitute a debt of the
municipality issuing it.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been supplementary
grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the Omnibus Bond
Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to
have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the provisions of
this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary authority granted by
the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments issued under this Section
within the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not
invalid because of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to
have been more restrictive than those Acts.
The amendatory Acts of 1971, 1972 and 1973 are not a limit upon any
municipality which is a home rule unit.

When revenue bonds are issued under Section 11-25-4, the
entire revenue received from the operation of the specified hospitals,
shall be deposited in a separate fund which shall be used only in paying
the cost of maintenance and operation thereof and the principal and
interest of the revenue bonds issued under Section 11-25-4.

Every specified city may secure grants and loans, or either,
from the United States government, or any agency thereof, for financing the
establishment and construction of any hospital, or any part thereof,

power to issue and sell or pledge to the United States government, or any
agency thereof, all or any part of the revenue bonds authorized by Section
11-25-4, and to execute contracts and other documents and do all things
that may be required by the United States government, or any agency
thereof.
