	Sec. 3927.207. SALES AND USE TAX. (a) The district may

	of the district voting at an election called for that purpose.
	Revenue from the tax may be used for any purpose for which ad
	valorem tax revenue of the district may be used.
	(b) The district may not adopt a sales and use tax if as a
	result of the adoption of the tax the combined rate of all sales and
	use taxes imposed by the district and other political subdivisions
	of this state having territory in the district would exceed two
	percent at any location in the district.
	(c) If the voters of the district approve the adoption of
	the tax at an election held on the same election date on which
	another political subdivision adopts a sales and use tax or
	approves an increase in the rate of its sales and use tax and as a
	result the combined rate of all sales and use taxes imposed by the
	district and other political subdivisions of this state having

	in the district, the election to adopt a sales and use tax under
	this chapter has no effect.

	Act, has been published as provided by law, and the notice and a
