What it does
Shall Bienville Parish Hospital Service District No. 2, State of Louisiana (the "District"), continue to levy a special tax of 6.64 mills on all property subject to taxation within the District (an estimated $1,091,000 reasonably expected at this time to be collected from the levy of the tax for an entire year), for a period of 10 years, beginning with the year 2027 and ending with the year 2036, for the purpose of paying costs of providing hospital and other health care services in the District, including acquiring, maintaining, operating and supporting facilities, equipment and furnishings therefor, said millage to represent a .64 mills increase (due to reappraisal) over the 6 mills tax authorized to be levied through the year 2026 pursuant to an election held on December 10, 2016?
A YES vote means
Bienville Hospital Service District No. 2 would continue a 6.64-mill property tax from 2027 through 2036 for hospital and health care services, up 0.64 mills (due to reappraisal) from the 6 mills authorized through 2026.

Left–right lean
Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).
