The bill amends existing law regarding the imposition of mill levies for recreational purposes by requiring that any such levy proposed by a school district must first be submitted to a vote of the qualified electors in the respective county or school district. Specifically, the bill stipulates that no tax shall be levied until a majority of votes cast favor the imposition of the additional tax levy. The elections for these propositions must coincide with the dates of general elections, and the term of the tax levy is set at four years. If approved, the levy must be resubmitted for voter approval at the second general election following its initial approval and every four years thereafter.

Additionally, the bill provides for the expiration of any existing tax levies imposed under the relevant statute prior to the effective date of this act, which will occur on December 31, 2028, or upon the submission of a new proposition to the electors, whichever comes first. If the new tax levy is approved by voters, it will continue as outlined in the law. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
