  1. Whenever any provision of this title imposes a limitation on the debt of school districts and the voters of a school district are required by law to approve any change in debt subject to the limitation, the general assembly shall not be required to seek statewide voter approval to amend the statutory provision that imposes the limitation.
  2. For purposes of section 20 (1) of article X of the state constitution, any weakening of a limitation on a school district’s debt shall occur only when voter approval at the school district level is obtained, and voter approval of the measure at the school district level shall satisfy any voter approval requirement of section 20 (1) of article X.
  3. Any ballot question seeking voter approval of a weakening of any limitation on school district debt may be submitted to the eligible electors of a school district as a separate ballot question or as part of a ballot question including other ballot issues, such as the authorization of bonded indebtedness.
