Upon voter approval, this constitutional amendment would automatically require each tax levied and imposed by the State or any political subdivision thereof to be submitted to voters for reauthorization 25 years after the original effective date of the tax.
Upon voter approval, the tax would be reauthorized. If voters fail to approve the tax, the proposal or tax could be modified and the question to approve it resubmitted to voters at the next general election. If voters fail to approve the tax a second time, the tax will terminate at the end of the second fiscal year immediately following the election.
Ballot summaries for these taxes are prohibited from describing them as not being a tax increase.
This amendment would not apply to taxes imposed for the payment of bonds or other debt.
This bill is similar to HJR 22 (2025).
