77-1028. Election required; procedures applicable.
The powers granted by the Nebraska Advantage Transformational Tourism and Redevelopment Act shall not be exercised unless and until the question of directing the proceeds of the local option sales tax as authorized under the act has been submitted at a primary, general, or special election held within the municipality and in which all registered voters are entitled to vote on such question. The officials of the municipality shall order the submission of the question by submitting a certified copy of the resolution proposing the tax to the election commissioner or county clerk. The question may include any terms and conditions set forth in the resolution, such as a termination date, and shall include the following language: Shall the municipality direct the local option sales tax collected within an area defined by the municipality to require redevelopment or as a tourism development project for the benefit of that area? If a majority of the votes cast upon the question are in favor, the governing body may so direct the tax. If a majority of those voting on the question are opposed, the governing body shall not so direct the tax. Once approved, the municipality may exercise the powers granted by the act for a period of ten years. Any election under this section shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures provided in the Election Act.
