1. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2, 3, 4 and 5, nothing contained herein shall be construed as authorizing the municipality to issue any municipal securities constituting a debt for the purpose of funding or refunding municipal securities constituting special obligations which do not constitute an indebtedness.

2. Any special obligation securities of a municipality pertaining to any project may be funded or refunded by general obligation securities pertaining to the project only if the municipality is authorized by law to issue such funding or refunding securities at the time of their issuance, even though the municipality was not so authorized to issue them at the time of the issuance of any such funded or refunded securities.

3. If the issuance of general obligation bonds to defray the cost of the project is conditioned upon their approval by the qualified electors of the municipality at an election, any general obligation securities pertaining to the project and creating an indebtedness, by funding or refunding special obligation securities or otherwise, may be issued only if the bonds have been so approved at an election in the manner provided by law.

4. If a debt limitation pertains to any general obligation bonds or other securities of a municipality constituting an indebtedness and relating to any project, no general obligation securities pertaining to the project and creating an indebtedness, by funding or refunding special obligation securities or otherwise (in contradistinction to funding or refunding bonds merely reevidencing an indebtedness formerly evidenced by the securities funded or refunded), shall be issued in a principal amount exceeding such debt limitation.

5. No bonds of a municipality shall be refunded by the issuance of its interim debentures, its notes or its warrants. No interim debentures of a municipality shall be funded by the issuance of its notes or its warrants.
