(1) A community college district is established under this chapter only if both of the following occur:
(a) A majority of the electors voting in the proposed community college district area approve the organization of the district.
(b) A board of trustees in the proper number is elected by a majority of the voting electors.
(2) A majority of the electors voting in the community college district shall approve of the proposition establishing the maximum annual tax rate for the community college district.

If the proposition to establish the maximum annual tax rate fails after being submitted 3 times, the community college district is dissolved.
