Official text rightpowerlimitif conditionlegal term
Whenever the boundaries of any city are the same as those of a county, or when any city includes within its boundaries more than one county, the power of any county wholly included within such city to contract indebtedness shall cease, but the indebtedness of such county shall not, for the purposes of this article, be included as a part of the city indebtedness.
Simplified explanation
When a city's boundaries are the same as a county's, or a city includes more than one county, any county wholly inside the city loses its power to borrow, and that county's debt is not counted as city debt for this article.
