| Under current law, if a budget or portion thereof fails after |
| a referendum vote, the board of directors of the school |
| administrative district is authorized to schedule unlimited |
| meetings to resubmit the budget to the voters. This bill instead |
| authorizes one subsequent meeting to resubmit the budget to the |
| voters, and if it again fails, the budget or portion of the |
| budget adopted in the immediately preceding year replaces the |
| budget or portion of the budget that the voters failed to |
| approve. |
