This bill amends Section 39.2 of the Iowa Code to expand the dates available for holding special elections related to school district tax levies. Specifically, it allows for an additional election date in even-numbered years, permitting a special election to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. This new provision applies when the election is for the levying of a tax or the adjustment of a levy pursuant to specific sections of the law (298.18 and 298.18A).

The bill retains the existing election dates for odd-numbered years and even-numbered years, which include the first Tuesday in March and the second Tuesday in September. The inclusion of the new election date aims to provide school districts and merged areas with more flexibility in scheduling elections for tax levies related to bond payments, thereby potentially enhancing their ability to secure necessary funding.
