Text of measure

Language on the ballot:

“

In 1988, Hernando County's voters approved a property tax levy, at a rate of one-tenth of one mill (.1 mil), to fund the acquisition and maintenance of environmentally-sensitive lands. That levy ceased in 2011. The referendum asks whether the levy shall be resumed. Shall the Board of County Commissioners levy a property tax of up to one-tenth of one mill (.1 mil) to fund the acquisition, management, and maintenance of environmentally-sensitive lands, with the program to sunset on September 30, 2021? YES NO
