    On page 3, line 34, after "approval of" strike all material through "county" on line 36 and enter "((the legislative authority of each city exceeding fifty thousand population within the county)) sixty percent of the legislative authorities of taxing districts, or entities comprised solely of taxing districts, in the county that have a population exceeding fifty thousand within the county and would receive funds from the levy proposed in accordance with this section"

EFFECT: Replaces the requirement that a county must obtain approval of all legislative authorities of cities with a population exceeding 50,0000 within the county prior to placing a countywide emergency medical service levy proposal on the ballot with a requirement that a county must obtain the prior approval of 60 percent of the legislative authorities of taxing districts, or entities comprised solely of taxing districts, in the county that have a population exceeding 50,000 and would receive funds from the levy.
