The House Engrossed version of HB 2586 has been posted and is on ALIS under versions. This should make it easier to see how the floor amendment affected the introduced version of the bill. Having gone through it thoroughly, I could not find any changes other than those that you pointed out:
--the removal of flood control districts from the original bill and thus, the Property Tax Oversight commission, changes to the fire district levies, and more importantly: the fact that there must be a November election with a majority of qualified electors approving the formation of a district.
The Board must provide for and call for the election. On printed page 9 of the PDF Engrossed version, "shall" is changed to the Board of Directors MAY annually levy a tax after a country free library is established. It also reiterates that any library districts formed after December 31, 2008 must have tax levies approved by the electors. The other interesting effect of the engrossed version is that it changes the year that the maximum levy cannot exceed. The introduced version states that tax year 2008 levies cannot exceed the amount of the levy in 2007; the engrossed version states that the 2009 levies cannot exceed the preceeding tax year.
BILL: [number, title] HB 2586 SPECIAL DISTRICTS; SECONDARY LEVY LIMITS
