(a) If a district proposes a measure that will generate revenues for the district that requires voter approval pursuant to the California Constitution, the board of supervisors of the county or counties in which the district has determined to place the measure on the ballot shall call a special election on the measure. The special election shall be consolidated with the next regularly scheduled statewide election and the measure shall be submitted to the voters in the appropriate counties, consistent with the requirements of Articles XIII A, XIII C, and XIII D, or Article XVI of, the California Constitution, as applicable.
(b) A district shall be deemed a district for purposes of Section 317 of the Elections Code. A measure proposed by a district that requires voter approval shall be submitted to the voters within the boundaries of the district in accordance with the provisions of the Elections Code applicable to districts, including the provisions of Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 9300) of Division 9 of the Elections Code.
(c) The district shall file with the board of supervisors of each county in which the measure shall appear on the ballot a resolution of the district requesting consolidation, and setting forth the exact form of the ballot question, in accordance with Section 10403 of the Elections Code.
(d) The legal counsel for the district shall prepare an impartial analysis of the measure. The impartial analysis prepared by the legal counsel for the district shall be subject to review and revision by the county counsel of the county that contains the largest population, as determined by the most recent federal decennial census, among those counties in which the measure will be submitted to the voters.
(e) Each county included in the measure shall use the exact ballot question, impartial analysis, and ballot language provided by the district. If two or more counties included in the measure are required to prepare a translation of ballot materials into the same language other than English, the county that contains the largest population, as determined by the most recent federal decennial census, among those counties that are required to prepare a translation of ballot materials into the same language other than English shall prepare the translation and that translation shall be used by the other county or counties, as applicable.
(f) Notwithstanding Section 13116 of the Elections Code, if a measure proposed by a district pursuant to this division is submitted to the voters of the district in two or more counties, the elections officials of those counties shall mutually agree to use the same letter designation for the measure.
(g) The county clerk of each county shall report the results of the special election to the authority. If two-thirds of all voters voting on the question at the special election vote affirmatively, or a different approval threshold required by the California Constitution at the time the election is achieved, the measure shall take effect in the counties in which the measure appeared on the ballot within the timeframe specified in the measure.
(h) The county clerk of each county shall report the results of the special election to the district.
