The Legislature makes the following findings and determinations:
(1) In a number of instances, the Legislature, by general or local act, has authorized the levy and collection within a county or municipality of a tax, other than an ad valorem tax, for school purposes and has specified that the authority for the levy of the tax shall terminate upon the payment in full of certain generally or specifically described bonds, warrants, or other obligations.
(2) Counties, municipalities, boards of education, and other political subdivisions frequently realize substantial debt service savings and other benefits through the issuance and sale of refunding obligations to provide for the payment and retirement of previously issued bonds, warrants, or other obligations.
(3) In order to facilitate the realization of the benefits that may be obtained through the refunding of outstanding obligations, and to avoid the consequence of unintentionally terminating the legal authority for the levy and collection of one or more specific taxes, it is appropriate and desirable for the Legislature to provide that the authority for the levy and collection of any tax that would otherwise terminate upon the payment of certain bonds, warrants, or other obligations shall continue until the payment in full of any refunding obligations referable thereto.
