Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to taxation
HJR 128 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring voter approval for most state and local taxes every 25 years after their initial implementation or last rate change. It mandates that taxes must be submitted to voters at the next general election following the 25-year period, with specific timing rules for taxes already in place. The amendment excludes taxes for bond payments or existing debt, and prohibits ballot summaries from labeling such tax votes as "not a tax increase." This would directly affect taxpayers and lawmakers by making most existing taxes subject to periodic voter re-approval.
