9-826. Publicity pamphlet format; state preemption; bond and tax measures
A. The legislature finds and determines that for the purposes of increasing voter knowledge and government transparency it is a matter of statewide concern that all municipalities fully inform voters of the effects of any vote to approve a bond, sales tax or property tax measure and, therefore, the legislature finds and declares that the publicity pamphlet format for these measures is of statewide concern. This section preempts all local laws, ordinances and charter provisions to the contrary.
B. Notwithstanding any other law, for any municipal election to approve a bond, sales tax or property tax measure, the publicity pamphlet shall include the following:
1. For a bond approval, an estimate of the annual levy of property taxes sufficient to pay the debt on the bonds.
2. For a sales tax levy, the amount of the tax increase.
3. For a property tax levy, an estimate of the tax for:
(a) A single-family residence that is valued at one hundred thousand dollars.
(b) Commercial property that is valued at two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
(c) Vacant land that is valued at one hundred thousand dollars.
