HB 1184: School district elections

Concerning school district elections.

Summary

  • Authorizes school districts to issue general obligation bonds for capital purposes, levy taxes to make payments on those bonds, and exceed the statutory debt limit with approval by a simple majority of the voters voting at the election, rather than approval by 60 percent of the voters voting where the total number of voters is at least 40 percent of the total at the last preceding general election.
  • Provides that the bill is void unless a Constitutional amendment to this effect is approved at the next general election.
