The intermediate district committee shall follow the procedure guide provided by the state committee and prepare a district reorganization plan, which shall be submitted to the state committee for its approval or disapproval.

If the revised plan is not accepted by the state committee, the state committee shall submit a plan for the reorganization of the school districts in the intermediate school district and the intermediate committee shall also submit a plan for the reorganization of the school districts in the intermediate school district. The intermediate school district board shall submit both plans to the electors of the intermediate school district and the plan receiving the larger number of votes shall be submitted to the qualified electors of the intermediate school district in accordance with the requirements of method 2 provided in section 7 of this act. Following this election, the intermediate committee shall be dissolved and the requirements of this act shall have been met and no further plans shall be re-submitted for 5 years by either the state committee or the intermediate district.
