Operating referendum ballot notice modification

Summary

The bill changes the wording of the ballot notice for school operating referendums and bars boards from renewing a levy without voter approval unless specific notice rules are met. It adds a new rule that a board can only renew a referendum once, and only if the original notice warned voters that renewal was possible and the per‑pupil rate stays the same (or follows the same inflation adjustment). The changes take effect for referendums held on or after July 1, 2026.
