Whenever, after the issuance of general obligation bond anticipation notes, it becomes necessary to determine whether or not general obligation bonds issued to provide funds with which to pay such notes (or any notes refunding such notes) have been issued within any time limitation prescribed therefor or in obedience to any condition imposed by law, the date of the issuance of the original notes shall be used for the purposes of such determination.
