Page 1 of 1 68.530 Fiscal court resolution and order designating submission of proposals to voters -- Election -- Framing of questions. (1) In the event the fiscal court of any county determines that the public interest requires the establishment of one or more public service programs and that existing
county revenues are inadequate to reasonably provide for such programs, the fiscal
court may by resolution and order determine that one or more questions for the
establishment of any such public service program shall be submitted to the
electorate of such county. Such resolution and order shall designate with specificity
each public service program to be submitted, together with the proposed source of
funding therefor, which shall be either an ad valorem tax levy of a certain maximum
number of cents per each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed valuation subject
to constitutional limits, or an occupational license tax subject to the limitations of
KRS 68.520 to 68.550. (2) The fiscal court shall, following adoption of the resolution and order identified in subsection (1) of this section, cause to be prepared a question for submission to the
voters of the county at an election held pursuant to notice as prescribed in KRS
424.130. Said election shall be held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled
November election, as provided by law. The question as it will appear on the ballot
shall be filed with the county clerk not later than the second Tuesday in August
preceding the regular election. The question shall be so framed that any voter who
wishes to vote for the public service program or any individual public service
program if there be more than one, may signify his approval by voting "Yes," and
any voter who wishes to vote against the public service program or any individual
public service program so submitted may do so by voting "No." Effective: July 15, 1996
