If the taxing district proposing the levy has an existing levy of the same type that is set to expire at the time that the proposed levy will begin, an additional statement may be provided along the following lines: "The proposed levy replaces an existing levy that will expire on _____ and that currently costs $_____ per $100,000 of taxable assessed value." The statement shall also disclose that, if the proposed levy is approved, the tax per $100,000 of taxable assessed value is either: (i) not expected to change or (ii) is expected to increase or decrease the tax by $_____ per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. The dollar amounts referenced in this paragraph shall be calculated by multiplying the expected levy rate by one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000);  (c) The length of time, reflected in months or years, in which the proposed levy will be assessed; and (d) If an existing levy is referenced, the expiration date of the levy must also be provided. (2) The information called for in subsection (1) of this section must be placed immediately above the location on the ballot where a person casts a vote and must also be included in like manner in the official notice of the election. (3) In order to be binding, a ballot question to authorize a levy must include the information and language required by this section in its official statement. The ballot question may not include other information or language regarding any other bond, levy, or matter, whether previous, current, or proposed, except as authorized under this section. (4) Upon a determination by a court, pursuant to section 34-2001A, Idaho Code, that the taxing district failed to comply with the provisions of this section, the court must declare the outcome of the ballot question invalid and award court costs and fees to the prevailing party.
