67.1606. Addition of new areas to existing home equity program, procedure. — 1. If the creation of an existing home equity program was initiated by petition and if a district was excluded from the area because the requisite number of signatures was not obtained, the excluded district may be added to the area of the program as provided in this section if the excluded district is contiguous to an existing program.
2. Upon the filing of a petition signed by a requisite number of registered voters of a district that is contiguous to an existing home equity program, the district may be added to the area of the program as provided in this section.
3. If a petition signed by not less than five percent of the total number of registered voters within such district who voted in the last gubernatorial election is filed with the proper election authority, and if the governing body of the municipality or county consents, by ordinance or resolution, to adding the excluded district to the area of the program, the election authority shall submit the question of adding the excluded district to the area of the program to the voters of the excluded district at the regular election specified in the petition. The petition shall be filed and the election shall be conducted as provided in the general election law. The petition and the question submitted shall describe the district, identify the program to which the district is proposed to be added and state the maximum rate at which the program shall be authorized to levy such property tax, which rate shall be the same as the existing maximum rate for the program.
