The board of county commissioners of any county previously authorized and making an annual tax levy under the authority of Kan. Stat. Ann. § 19-2106e, and amendments thereto, for the operation of a home for the aged, which as the result of an increase in the population of the county was not authorized to levy a tax under the provisions of such act for the operation of such home for the year 1972, is hereby authorized to issue no-fund warrants in an amount not to exceed the amount which could have been raised by the levy of a tax under the provisions of Kan. Stat. Ann. § 19-2106e, and amendments thereto, had the same remained applicable to such county. Such no-fund warrants shall be issued by the county in the manner and form and shall bear interest and be redeemable in the manner prescribed by Kan. Stat. Ann. § 79-2940, and amendments thereto, except that they may be issued without the approval of the state board of tax appeals, and without the notation required by such section. The board of county commissioners shall make a tax levy at the first tax levying period after such warrants are issued, sufficient to pay such warrants and the interest thereon. All such tax levies shall be in addition to all other tax levies authorized or limited by law and such tax levies shall not be limited by or subject to the limitation upon the levy of taxes prescribed by article 44 of chapter 79 of the 1971 supplement of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto.
