AN
ACT Relating to authorizing school levies for periods not exceeding four years;

BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec.
1. RCW
84.52.053 and 1994 c 116 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
The
limitations imposed by RCW 84.52.050 through 84.52.056, and 84.52.043 shall not
prevent the levy of taxes by school districts, when authorized so to do by the
voters of such school district in the manner and for the purposes and number of
years allowable under Article VII, section 2(a) of the Constitution of this
state. Elections for such taxes shall be held in the year in which the levy is
made or, in the case of propositions authorizing two-year through four-year
levies for maintenance and operation support of a school district, authorizing
two-year levies for transportation vehicle funds established in RCW
28A.160.130, or authorizing two-year through six-year levies to support the
construction, modernization, or remodeling of school facilities, in the year in
which the first annual levy is made: PROVIDED, That once additional tax levies
have been authorized for maintenance and operation support of a school district
for a two-year through four-year period, no further additional tax
levies for maintenance and operation support of the district for that period
may be authorized.
A
special election may be called and the time therefor fixed by the board of
school directors, by giving notice thereof by publication in the manner
provided by law for giving notices of general elections, at which special
election the proposition authorizing such excess levy shall be submitted in
such form as to enable the voters favoring the proposition to vote "yes"
and those opposed thereto to vote "no".
NEW
SECTION. Sec. 2. This
act takes effect if the proposed amendment to Article VII, section 2 of the
state Constitution authorizing school levies for periods not exceeding four
years is validly submitted to and is approved and ratified by the voters at the
next general election. If the proposed amendment is not approved and ratified,
this act is void in its entirety.
