(c) An election authorizing a tax levy shall be conducted in the same manner as a confirmation election under Subchapter B.

(d) Except as provided by Subchapter I, a service plan may be implemented in an area of the county participating in the authority only if a majority of votes received favor the authorization of a tax levy by the authority.

(e) An authority that does not authorize an initial tax levy at an authorization election expires on the second anniversary of the date the executive committee adopts an order declaring that the creation of the authority is confirmed.
