August 1, 1985 shall not be affected by this section.
(b) Any tax imposed by any local government or district on or
after August 1, 1985, and prior to the effective date of this

which election shall be held within two years of the effective date
of this Article. Any local government or district which fails to seek
or obtain such majority approval shall cease to impose such tax on
