Changes to Existing Law

Approval to enter into an agreement or issue capital outlay certificates to which § 13-16-6.3 applies, pursuant to § 13-16-6.3, is subject to a referendum if five percent of the registered voters, based upon the total number of registered voters at the last preceding general election, petition, within twenty days thereafter, to have the question of approval or disapproval of to enter into the agreement or issue of capital outlay certificates or the lease-purchase agreement placed upon the ballot at the next regular primary or general election or at a special election called for that purpose. The business manager shall give notice of the fact that the question will be on the ballot at a regular or special the primary or general election as provided by law for school elections and prepare official ballots therefor according to the provisions of this title relating to elections and the issue shall be decided by sixty percent of those voting thereon. Approval of the question to enter into an agreement or issue capital outlay certificates requires an affirmative vote of at least sixty percent of those voting on the question. If the question is submitted to the voters at a primary election and is not approved by the voters, the school board may, by resolution, place the question on the ballot at the next general election immediately following the primary election. 20
