Adoption of tourism tax, procedure — ballot form. — The governing body of any county described in section 67.665 may, by adopting an order, impose the tourism tax; provided, however, that no order enacted pursuant to the authority granted by the provisions of section 67.665 shall be effective unless the governing body of the county submits to the voters of the county, at a countywide general or primary election or at a special election called for that purpose, a proposal to authorize the governing body of the county to impose the tourism tax. The ballot of submission shall contain, but not be limited to, the following language:

☐ For the tourism tax

☐ Against the tourism tax

If a majority of the votes cast on the proposal by the qualified voters voting thereon are in favor of the proposal, then the order shall be in effect. If a majority of the votes cast by the qualified voters voting are opposed to the proposal, then the governing body of the county shall have no power to impose the tax herein authorized unless and until the governing body of the county shall again have submitted another proposal to authorize the governing body of the county to impose the tax, and such proposal is approved by a majority of the qualified voters voting thereon.
