        (1) proceedings have been undertaken in good faith to form a community school corporation by the consolidation of two (2) or more prior established school corporations;
        (2) the community school corporation is held, by a final order and decision of a court, to be invalidly formed and nonexistent; and
        (3) the order and decision are not subject to further judicial review;
any bonds issued (before the final order and decision of the court) in the name of the community school corporation to provide funds to be applied on the cost of construction and equipment of a school building are not invalid by reason of the final order and decision of the court but constitute the valid and binding obligation of the prior established school corporation in the territory where the school building was or is being constructed, the same as if the bonds had been validly issued in the name of the prior established school corporation.
    (b) This section applies only if the bonds at the time of their issuance would have been within the limitation of indebtedness imposed by the Constitution of the State of Indiana on the prior established school corporation.
