Section X-9A: Additional county ad valorem tax levy for department of health.

  For the purpose of maintaining or aiding in maintaining a
department of health within any county of the State, an
additional levy not to exceed two and one-half mills on the
dollar of the assessed valuation of the county may be levied
annually, when such levy is approved by a majority of the
qualified ad valorem tax paying voters of the county, voting on
the question at an election called for such purpose by the Board
of County Commissioners, or by initiative petition by voters of a
county.  A maximum levy of two and one-half mills may be made for
such purpose after such approval until repealed by a majority of
the qualified ad valorem tax paying voters of the county, voting
on the question at an election called for such purpose by the
Board of County Commissioners, or by initiative petition by
voters of a county.  Such department of health may be maintained
jointly or in conjunction with one or more counties, cities,
towns or school districts, or any combination thereof, and shall
be maintained as now or hereafter provided by law.  Nothing
herein shall prohibit other levies or the use of other public
funds for such department of health.
