Current through the 2024 Regular Session
Section 63-1309 - SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT OR BOND PROPOSAL DEFEATED IN ELECTION BARS SUBSEQUENT ELECTIONS FOR SPECIFIED TIME - EXCEPTION - BOARD OF EDUCATION MAY CONDUCT ELECTION - MUNICIPALITIES, WATER OR SEWER DISTRICTS MAY CONDUCT BOND ELECTION

If any election has been held for the formation of any special taxing district, or for the approval of any bond issue or other proposal which would have resulted in a property tax levy, and the proposal submitted at such election was defeated, no subsequent election shall be held within two (2) months from and after the date of such prior election for the same or a similar purpose in any district which includes any part of the area which was affected by the prior election. In the event any school building is destroyed or rendered unusable for school purposes by reason of fire, flood or other catastrophe, and a school bond election for the purpose of the replacement of such building is prohibited by the provisions of this section or by the provisions of section 34-106, Idaho Code, the state board of education shall have the power to authorize an election for such purpose by order based upon a finding of such facts. The provisions of this section shall not apply to school elections held solely for determining property tax levies for general school purposes not involving the issuance of bonds. This time requirement between elections shall not apply to municipalities or water and/or sewer districts when bond issues are being proposed for the installation or improvement of water supply systems or public sewerage systems which have been deemed necessary by the Idaho state board of health and welfare to bring such system or systems in conformance with state statutes or rules of the state board of health and welfare.
