 3 the laws of 2011, are amended to read as follows:
 4 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, [in
 5 the event] where the trustee, trustees or board of education of a school
 6 district that is subject to the provisions of this section proposes a
 7 budget that will require a tax levy that exceeds the tax levy limit for
 8 the corresponding school year, not including any levy necessary to
 9 support the expenditures pursuant to subparagraphs (i) through (iv) of
 10 paragraph i of subdivision two of this section, such proposed budget
 11 shall be approved by sixty percent of the votes of the trustee, trustees
 12 or board of education, then such budget shall be approved if [sixty
 13 percent] a majority of the votes cast [thereon] by qualified voters are
 14 in the affirmative.

 16 et subject to the requirements of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, the
 17 ballot for such budget shall include the following statement in substan-
 18 tially the same form: "Adoption of this budget requires a tax levy
 19 increase of which exceeds the statutory tax levy increase limit
 20 of for this school fiscal year and therefore exceeds the state tax
 21 cap and must be approved by [sixty percent] a majority of the qualified
 22 voters present and voting."
 23 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
