Stat. Ann. Chapter 3, Article 60A].

D. The amount of indebtedness evidenced by the gross receipts tax increment bonds or property tax increment bonds issued pursuant to the Tax Increment for Development Act shall not exceed the estimated cost of the public improvements plus all costs connected with the public infrastructure purposes and the issuance and sale of bonds, including, without limitation, formation costs, credit enhancement and liquidity support fees and costs.

E. The indebtedness evidenced by the gross receipts tax increment bonds or property tax increment bonds shall not affect the general obligation bonding capacity of the municipality or county in which the tax increment development district is located.
