CONTENT

(Public Act 34 of 2001 created the "Revised Municipal Finance Act" to regulate borrowing by municipalities, and their issuance of securities; repeal the Municipal Finance Act; and prescribe the powers and duties of the Department of Treasury to protect the credit of the State and its municipalities. The Act took effect March 1, 2002. The Municipal Finance Act was repealed on that day, except for two sections that will be repealed on April 30, 2002.)
