CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY proposing an amendment to section 14 of article 3 of the constitution, in relation to the procedure for voting non-recurring revenue items taxes.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the New York state constitution to require a two-thirds majority vote in each branch of the legislature in order to pass any bill that provides revenue to the state or its political subdivisions in a non-recurring manner. The existing law requires only a simple majority vote to pass bills, but this bill would create an exception for certain revenue-raising measures. The proposed amendment would need to be approved by the legislature and then submitted to voters for ratification.
