The board of directors of a school district shall be authorized to issue negotiable, interest-bearing school bonds, without election, and utilize tax receipts derived from the sales and services tax for school infrastructure purposes for principal and interest repayment. Proceeds of the bonds issued pursuant to this section shall be utilized solely for school infrastructure needs as school infrastructure is defined in section 422E.1, subsection 3. Issuance of bonds pursuant to this section shall be permitted only in a district which has imposed a local sales and services tax for school infrastructure purposes pursuant to section 422E.2. The provisions of sections 298.22 through 298.24 shall apply regarding the form, rate of interest, registration, redemption, and recording of bond issues pursuant to this section, with the exception that the maximum period during which principal on the bonds is payable shall not exceed a ten-year period, or the date of repeal stated on the ballot proposition.
A school district in which a local option sales tax for school infrastructure purposes has been imposed shall be authorized to enter into a chapter 28E agreement with one or more cities or a county whose boundaries encompass all or a part of the area of the school district. A city or cities entering into a chapter 28E agreement shall be authorized to expend its designated portion of the local option sales and services tax revenues for any valid purpose permitted in this chapter or authorized by the governing body of the city. A county entering into a chapter 28E agreement with a school district in which a local option sales tax for school infrastructure purposes has been imposed shall be authorized to expend its designated portion of the local option sales and services tax revenues to provide property tax relief within the boundaries of the school district located in the county. A school district where a local option sales and services tax is imposed is also authorized to enter into a chapter 28E agreement with another school district which is located partially or entirely in or is contiguous to the county where the tax is imposed. The school district shall only expend its designated portion of the local option sales and services tax for infrastructure purposes.
The governing body of a city may authorize the issuance of bonds which are payable from its designated portion of the revenues of the local option sales and services tax, and not from property tax, by following the authorization procedures set forth for cities in section 384.83. A city may pledge irrevocably any amount derived from its designated portions of the revenues of the local option sales and services tax to the support or payment of such bonds.
