Compiler's notes. — The phrase "this 1997 act" in Subsection B refers to Laws 1997, ch. 219, which amended this section.

The 1997 amendment, June 20, 1997, designated the former first sentence as Paragraphs A(1), (2) and (4), and added Paragraph A(3); designated the former second and third sentences as Subsection B, and in Subsection B, inserted "any issue of" near the beginning of the subsection, added the language beginning "for that issue, but may continue to be imposed for bonds" at the end of the first sentence, inserted "and refunding bonds," in the second sentence, and made minor stylistic changes throughout the section.
