34-8-4. Election on county hospital or bond issue--Percentage of vote required for approval. The board of county commissioners may by resolution or ordinance submit the question of establishing and maintaining a county hospital to the voters of the county at any regular election or at a special election called for that purpose.
The election shall be held in the manner and upon the notice prescribed by law for county bond elections. If sixty percent of the ballots cast are in favor of the establishment and maintenance of a county hospital, the board of county commissioners may establish and maintain a county hospital according to the provisions of chapter 34-8. The election on the question of establishing and maintaining a county hospital may be held at the same time as the election on the bond issue. If the bond issue receives sixty percent of the votes cast, and the establishing and maintaining of a county hospital fails to receive sixty percent of the votes cast, the bond issue is deemed to have failed.
