Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
That the board is authorized in its discretion to file an
application with the Supreme Court of Oklahoma for the approval of
any bonds or series of bonds to be issued hereunder, and exclusive
original jurisdiction is hereby conferred upon the Supreme Court to
hear and determine each such application.  It shall be the duty of
the Court to give such applications precedence over the other
business of the court and to consider and pass upon the applications
and any protests which may be filed thereto as speedily as possible.

Notice of the hearing on each application shall be given by a notice
published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county that
on a day named the board will ask the court to hear its application
and approve the bonds.  Such notice shall inform all persons
interested that they may file protests against the issuance of the
bonds and be present at the hearing and contest the legality
thereof.  Such notice shall be published one (1) time not less than
ten (10) days prior to the date named for the hearing and the
hearing may be adjourned from time to time in the discretion of the
court.  If the court shall be satisfied that the bonds have been
properly authorized in accordance with this act and that when issued
they will constitute valid obligations in accordance with their
terms, the court shall render its written opinion approving the
bonds and shall fix the time within which a petition for rehearing
may be filed.  The decision of the court shall be a judicial
determination of the validity of the bonds, shall be conclusive as
to the board, its officers and agents, and thereafter the bonds so
approved and the revenues pledged to their payment shall be
incontestable in any court in the State of Oklahoma.
