Operating referendum ballot notice modified, and authority for the school board to renew a referendum without seeking voter approval unless notice requirements are met eliminated.

Summary

The measure rewrites the language on operating referendum ballots and requires the mailed notice to tell voters that a referendum can be renewed only once by the school board. It also stops boards from extending an expiring levy unless the original notice included that renewal statement and the per‑pupil rate stays the same. The changes take effect for referenda held on or after July 1, 2026.
