School boards may renew an expiring referendum by board action without a public election if the per-pupil amount remains the same or is adjusted for inflation in the same manner as the expiring referendum.

The renewed referendum term cannot exceed the initial term approved by voters.

School boards must adopt a written resolution authorizing renewal after holding a public meeting and allowing public testimony, with adoption required by June 15 and effectiveness 60 days after adoption.

School boards may renew a referendum no more than two fiscal years before it expires, with the referendum expiring in the last fiscal year it generates revenue for the district.

Districts must submit a copy of the adopted resolution to the state commissioner and county auditor no later than September 1 of the calendar year in which the levy is certified.
