The Governor, on behalf of the State, is authorized to direct the trustee under the Master Indenture securing the outstanding Bonds to pay to the General Revenue Fund on June 15, 1994, and each June 15th thereafter, all of the moneys on deposit in the General Reserve Fund held under the Master Indenture for the purpose of making distributive school aid payments in accordance with Section 18-11 of the School Code; provided that such direction shall be in compliance with the Master Indenture. All Bonds issued in accordance with this Act shall be direct, limited obligations of the State of Illinois payable solely from and secured by an irrevocable, first priority pledge of and lien on moneys on deposit in (a) the Build Illinois Bond Retirement and Interest Fund and (b) any fund or account maintained pursuant to any trust indenture securing any Bonds to the extent so provided in such indenture; provided, however, that Bonds of any series may be secured on a parity basis with, or on a senior or junior basis with respect to, any other series of Bonds as provided in the Bond Sale Order and trust indenture relating to such series. The State of Illinois hereby pledges the tax revenues and other moneys from whatever source which by law are required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Fund for the purposes of making transfers to and payments from the Build Illinois Bond Retirement and Interest Fund as required by Sections 6z-9 and 8.25 of the Finance Act, such pledge constituting a first and prior claim against and charge on such tax revenues and other moneys. The Bonds are not general obligations of the State and are not secured by a pledge of the full faith and credit of the State and, except as specifically provided in this Act and Sections 6z-9 and 8.25 of the Finance Act, the holders of Bonds may not require the levy or imposition of any taxes or the application of other State revenues or funds to the payment of Bonds. Each Bond shall describe the limited nature of the State's obligation on the face thereof. The Bonds shall be securities appropriate and acceptable for collateral as described in Section 6 of "An Act relating to certain investments of public funds by public agencies", approved July 23, 1943, as amended, or in any similar act providing for the collateralization of public funds.
The Bonds are hereby made securities in which all public officers and bodies of the State and all political subdivisions of the State and other persons carrying on an insurance business, all banks, bankers, trust companies, saving banks and savings associations, including savings and loan associations, building and loan associations, investment companies and other persons carrying on a banking business, all credit unions, pension funds, administrators, and guardians who are now or may hereafter be authorized to invest in bonds or in other obligations of the State, may properly and legally invest funds, including capital, in their control or belonging to them. The Bonds are also hereby made securities which may be deposited with and may be received by all public officers and bodies of the State and all political subdivisions of the State and public corporations for any purpose for which the deposit of bonds or other obligations of the State is now or may hereafter be authorized.
