Sec. 3. (a) The president or secretary of a 4-H club described in section 2 of this chapter may file a petition signed by at least thirty (30) resident freeholders of the county with the county auditor of the county requesting that the executive make an appropriation provided for in section 2 of this chapter.
(b) The county auditor shall have the petition, without the signatures, printed in a newspaper of general circulation that is published in the county.
(c) The notice must state the date and time when the petition will be considered by the executive. The auditor shall set the date, time, and place at which the petition will be considered, which must be at least thirty (30) days after the publication of the notice.
(d) If not later than the date and time published in the notice for the consideration of the petition by the executive, a remonstrance signed by more resident freeholders of the county than the number signing the petition is filed with the county auditor protesting the allowance, the executive shall consider the remonstrance. If the executive finds that the remonstrance is signed by a greater number of resident freeholders than the petition asking for an allowance, the executive:
(1) may not make an appropriation for the purposes set forth in section 2 of this chapter; and
(2) shall dismiss the petition and take no further action.
(e) After final acceptance by the executive, a petition under this section is effective for one (1) to five (5) years, as determined by the executive.
