A. A district board, on the approval of a majority of the qualified electors in the
district voting at a regularly scheduled election on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, may authorize expenditures in excess of the district expenditure
limitation prescribed pursuant to article IX, section 21, Constitution of Arizona. The
excess expenditures authorized shall be a specified percentage of the expenditure
limitation. The impact of the authorization shall appear on the ballot and in publicity
pamphlets in the same manner as prescribed in section 41-563.03.
B. In the resolution requesting the voters to approve expenditures in excess of the
district expenditure limitation prescribed pursuant to article IX, section 21,
Constitution of Arizona, the district board shall state the number of years in which the
authority to expend in excess of the limitation otherwise prescribed is to be in
effect. The district board shall not request authority from the voters for a period of
less than two years nor more than seven years.
C. Any authorization of expenditures made pursuant to this section shall be used in
determining a modified expenditure limitation which is equal to the expenditure
limitation prescribed pursuant to article IX, section 21, Constitution of Arizona,
increased by the specified percentage, beginning with the fiscal year immediately
following the approval of the qualified electors of the district. The district board
shall not authorize expenditures in excess of the modified expenditure limitation in
subsequent fiscal years unless subsequent approval for additional excess expenditures is
received as provided in subsection A of this section.
