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 approved by a majority vote of the qualified electors in the respective county or school district. Specifically, it stipulates that no tax shall be levied until a proposition to impose the levy is submitted to voters during a general election. The bill also establishes that the term of the tax levy will be four years, and if approved, the proposition must be resubmitted for voter approval at the second general election following the 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, setting a deadline of 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.
