§ 25-327. Amendments.  


Latest version.
  • After referendum. After approval by the electorate of the proposed levy of the sales tax at the referendum called for in [this article], any amendment to or revision or repeal of sections 25-323 through 25-326 or this subsection (b), or subsections 25-331(d) or (e), and any repeal of this article in its entirety, shall take effect only upon approval thereof by a majority of the electors of Orange County voting in a subsequent referendum called for that purpose, except for an amendment to section 25-323 to reduce the rate of the sales tax (including a reduction to a rate of zero (0) cents), which may take effect without referendum approval. Otherwise, at any time after the referendum called for in [this article], the other sections and subsections of this article may be amended, revised, or repealed in the manner provided by law. No repeal of this article or reduction in the rate of the sales tax may take effect if it would impair any contract rights of the owners of any bonds, notes or other instruments of indebtedness payable in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from the revenues derived from the sales tax.
