Bill > H4176

This bill establishes special procedures for the consideration of a proposed constitutional amendment, known as an "Initiative Amendment," which aims to fund education and transportation by imposing an additional tax on incomes exceeding one million dollars. Specifically, it mandates that a Joint Session of the legislature, scheduled for May 18, 2016, will exclusively focus on this single amendment, overriding any conflicting House or Senate rules. Furthermore, any proposed changes or amendments to this initiative must be submitted electronically by May 12, 2016, to the Clerk of the Joint Convention, who will then outline the specific format and procedures for such filings. Following the consideration of amendments, the legislature will vote on the initiative amendment itself.
