Sec. 5. Notwithstanding any other law, any city, town, county, school corporation, or regional district organized under IC 13-26 or IC 13-3-2 (before its repeal) that has complied with all statutory requirements for the issuance of its bonds, other than IC 5-1-11 or any public sale statute, may, in lieu of issuing bonds at that time and without the need for complying with any other law applicable to the issuance of bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness, issue its notes in anticipation of the issuance of bonds to a financial institution. However, if the amount of the notes is at least one million dollars ($1,000,000), the notes may be issued to any purchaser. The bond anticipation notes may be issued on terms set forth in a resolution or ordinance authorizing their issuance and in any amount equal to or less than the amount of bonds authorized to be issued. The city, town, county, school corporation, or district may renew or extend the bond anticipation notes from time to time on terms agreed to with the financial institution or other purchaser. The amount of the accrued interest on the date of renewal or extension of the bond anticipation notes may be paid or added to the principal amount of the bond anticipation notes being renewed or extended as long as the aggregate principal amount of bond anticipation notes outstanding at any time does not exceed the maximum principal amount permitted by this section. The bond anticipation notes, including any renewals or extensions, must mature in the amounts and at the times (not exceeding five (5) years from the date of the original issuance of the bond anticipation notes) agreed to by the city, town, county, school corporation, or district and the financial institution or other purchaser. The bond anticipation notes must be finally paid, and interest on the bond anticipation notes may be finally paid, with the proceeds of the bonds issued by the city, town, county, school corporation, or district. In connection with the issuance of bonds, part or all of the proceeds of which will be used to retire the bond anticipation notes, it is not necessary for the city, town, county, school corporation, or district to repeat the procedures for the issuance of bonds, as the procedures followed before the issuance of the bond anticipation notes are for all purposes sufficient to authorize the issuance of the bonds.
