703703 15 case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
704704 16 the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
705705 17 proposition approved by the voters for each of the years

736736 12 less. A taxing district may increase its extension limitation
737737 13 for one or more levy years if that taxing district holds a
738738 14 referendum before the levy date for the first levy year at
