the purpose of providing revenue to an art institute services

 

provider that will be used exclusively for the benefit of the art

 

institute with respect to which the art institute services provider

 

renders services. The authority may levy the tax only if a majority

 

of the electors in the county voting on the tax at a statewide

 

general or primary election approve the tax. The proposal for a tax

 

shall be submitted to a vote of the electors of the authority by

 

resolution of the board.

requirements of section 24f of the general property tax act, 1893

 

PA 206, MCL 211.24f. A proposal for a tax shall not be placed on

 

the ballot unless the proposal is adopted by a resolution of the

 

board and certified by the board not later than 60 days before the

 

election to the county clerk of the county for inclusion on the

 

ballot. The proposal shall be certified for inclusion on the ballot

 

at the next eligible election, as specified by the board's

 

resolution.

 

     (3) If a majority of the electors in the county voting on the

 

question of a tax approve the proposal as provided under subsection

 

(1), the tax levy is authorized. Not more than 2 elections may be

this act.

 

     (4) Beginning on the effective date of the amendatory act that
