What’s in it
This bill relates to election requirements for the issuance of bonds by a school district. The bill requires that a proposition to authorize the issuance of bonds by a school district must receive a simple majority of the total votes cast for and against the proposition at the election. The bill retains the existing requirement that propositions to authorize the issuance of bonds by a county, city, school corporation that is not a school district, township, or other local board or commission receive the affirmative vote of at least percent of the total votes cast for and against the proposition. The bill makes a corresponding change in Code section 296.6.
