The resolution SCR1009 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that would eliminate the exemption from the two-thirds vote requirement for legislative acts that increase state revenues through fees and assessments. Currently, under Proposition 108 enacted in 1992, legislative acts that result in a net increase in state revenues must be approved by a two-thirds majority in both the Senate and House. However, there are exemptions for certain revenue increases, including those from fees and assessments that are not prescribed by formula, amount, or limit. This resolution seeks to remove that exemption, thereby requiring a two-thirds vote for all such revenue increases.

If approved by voters, the amendment would require the Secretary of State to submit the proposition for a vote in the next general election. The resolution also includes technical changes and stipulates that it would become effective upon voter approval and the Governor's proclamation. Importantly, there is no anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
