§ 8110. Debt statement.

(a) General rule.--Before delivering any general obligation bonds or notes or guaranteed revenue bonds or notes constituting nonelectoral debt or before executing an instrument evidencing lease rental debt, the officer or officers of a local government unit shall prepare and verify under oath a debt statement as of a date not more than 60 days before the filing with the department or, in the case of notes issued under section 8109 (relating to small borrowing for capital purposes), before the final adoption of the resolution authorizing their issue, showing:

(1) The gross indebtedness of the local government unit, giving prospective effect to the provisions of section 8250(b) (relating to use of proceeds of refunding bonds and when refunded bonds are no longer deemed outstanding) if debt is to be refunded.

(2) By items, the claimed credits and exclusions from the gross indebtedness permitted by this subpart in determining net debt.

(3) The aggregate principal amount of the bonds or notes being issued or evidencing lease rental debt.

(4) The borrowing base of the local government unit as shown by an appended borrowing base certificate.

(5) The applicable nonelectoral debt limit and the limit for nonelectoral plus lease rental debt computed as provided in this subpart.

(6) In the case of a refunding, the principal amount of bonds or notes which will no longer be deemed to be outstanding pursuant to section 8250(b) after settlement of the issue.

(b) Previously excluded self-liquidating or subsidized debt.--Where debt has previously been excluded as self-liquidating or subsidized debt, the debt statement shall be accompanied by a certification that no decrease in the amounts to be excluded is required by any change of circumstances or, if there has been a change, other than decreases resulting from the payments of bonds or notes, so that less debt is to be excluded. If it has become possible to exclude a greater amount of debt and the local government unit desires to do so, the debt statement shall be accompanied by appropriate certificates supporting the revised amount to be excluded, and a revised approval shall be obtained from the department.
