Bill Summary
This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the State Constitution to require that any bill or joint resolution levying a new State tax or proposing to increase an existing State tax shall be passed by the Legislature only by a three-fifths majority vote of the members of each House of the Legislature, instead of by a majority vote as with other bills and resolutions.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the State Constitution that would require any bill or joint resolution that levies a new state tax or increases an existing state tax to be passed by a three-fifths majority vote in both houses of the Legislature, rather than the current requirement of a simple majority vote for most other legislation. This means that a larger proportion of lawmakers would need to agree before new or increased state taxes could be enacted. The resolution also specifies that amendments to such tax bills would also require this higher three-fifths majority vote.
