Bill > LR11CA

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment for Nebraska that would fundamentally change the state's tax structure by prohibiting all governmental entities from imposing any taxes except retail consumption taxes and excise taxes, starting January 1, 2028. If approved by voters in the November 2026 general election, the amendment would eliminate other forms of taxation such as income taxes, property taxes, and corporate taxes, effectively limiting government revenue sources to taxes on retail purchases and specific goods like fuel, alcohol, and tobacco. The proposed amendment would be submitted to Nebraska voters with a ballot measure that clearly describes the proposed change, allowing citizens to vote either "For" or "Against" the constitutional modification. This represents a significant potential transformation of the state's tax policy, which would require careful consideration of how government services would be funded under such a restricted tax collection framework.
