35-2-414. Administration of finances; assessment and levy of tax.| (a) The board of trustees of special hospital districts shall administer the finances of such districts according to the provisions of the Uniform Municipal Fiscal Procedures Act. The assessor shall at the time of making the annual assessment of his district also assess the property of each special hospital district in his county and return to the county assessor at the time of returning the assessment schedules, separate schedules listing the property of each such district assessed by him. Said separate schedules shall be compiled by the county assessor, footed and returned to the board of county commissioners as provided for other assessment schedules.  (b) The board of county commissioners, at the time of making the levy for county purposes shall levy a tax for that year upon the taxable property in such district in its county for its proportionate share based on assessed valuation of the estimated amount of funds needed by each such district, but in no case shall the tax for such district exceed in any one (1) year the amount of three (3) mills for operation on each dollar of assessed valuation of such property except as provided by subsection (c) of this section. There shall be no limit on the assessment for the payment of principal and interest on bonds approved by the board of county commissioners and approved by the electors of the district as provided in W.S. 35-2-415. The taxes and assessments of all special hospital districts shall be collected by the county collector at the same time and in the same manner as state and county taxes are collected, provided, however, said assessment and tax levied under the provisions of this act shall not be construed as being a part of the general county mill levy.  (c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, if the board of trustees votes to increase the mill levy beyond three (3) mills as authorized by subsection (b) of this section, the board of county commissioners shall call an election within the district upon the question of whether the mill levy should be increased beyond three (3) mills. The election shall be called, conducted and canvassed as provided for bond elections by the Political Subdivision Bond Election Law, W.S. 22-21-101 through 22-21-112, on the first date authorized under W.S. 22-21-103 which is not less than sixty (60) days after the trustees vote to increase the mill levy beyond three (3) mills. In no event shall the tax in a district exceed in any one (1) year the amount of six (6) mills for operation and maintenance on each dollar of assessed valuation of property. The increase in mill levy is effective only if the question is approved by a majority of those voting thereon within the hospital district. The cost of any special election under this subsection shall be borne by the board of trustees.  (d) If the proposition to authorize a mill levy is approved, the same proposition or a proposition to impose a mill levy in a different amount, not to exceed three (3) mills, shall be submitted to the voters, until defeated, at the second general election following the election at which the proposition was initially approved and at the general election held every four (4) years thereafter. If the proposition to impose or continue the tax is defeated, the proposition shall not again be submitted to the electors for at least twenty-three (23) months.
