48-1066. Validity of bonds; certification by
attorney general
A. This article constitutes full authority for authorizing and issuing bonds
without reference to any other law of this state. No other law with regard to
authorizing or issuing obligations or which in any way impedes or restricts performing
the acts authorized by this article may be construed to apply to any proceedings taken or
acts done pursuant to this article.
B. The validity of bonds issued under this article is not dependent on or affected
by the legality of any proceeding relating to the acquisition, construction, improvement
or extension of a waterworks system for which the bonds are issued or the actual receipt
by any party of the notice described in section 48-1062, subsection C.
C. The district may, but shall not be required to, submit any bonds to be issued
under this article to the attorney general after all proceedings for authorizing the
bonds have been completed. On submission the attorney general shall examine and pass on
the validity of the bonds and the regularity of the proceedings. If the proceedings
comply with this article, and if the bonds when delivered and paid for will constitute
binding and legal obligations of the district, the attorney general shall certify on the
back of each bond, in substance, that it is issued according to the constitution and laws
of this state.
D. The bonds shall recite that they are regularly issued pursuant to this
article. That recital, together with any certification by the attorney general under
subsection C of this section, constitutes prima facie evidence of the legality and
validity of the bonds. From and after the sale and delivery of the bonds, they are
incontestable by this state, the county or the district.
