The board of county commissioners in any county having a population of more than 4,500 and not more than 5,500 and a taxable tangible valuation of more than $25,000,000 and which has established a home for the aged as provided for in K.S.A. 19-2106, and amendments thereto, is hereby authorized to make an annual tax levy not to exceed one mill upon all of the taxable tangible property of the county for the operation of said home and to pay a portion of the principal and interest on bonds issued under the authority of K.S.A. 12-1774, and amendments thereto, by cities located in the county. Such tax levy shall be in addition to all other tax levies authorized or limited by law and shall not be subject to or within any aggregate tax levy limit prescribed by law.
No county authorized to increase its levies under the provisions of this section shall make such increased levy until the question of making such tax levy is submitted to the qualified electors of the county at the next general election or at a special election called for such purpose. Any special election held under the provisions of this section shall be called and held in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 10-120, and amendments thereto. If a majority of the votes cast and counted on the question submitted at such election are in favor of such tax, the same may be levied; but if majority of the votes cast and counted on the question submitted at such election are not in favor thereof, such tax may not be levied.
