Proposal to Amend Utah Constitution - Statewide Initiatives

This bill proposes amending Utah's constitution to require a 60% voter approval threshold (instead of a simple majority) for statewide initiatives that impose new taxes, expand existing taxes, increase tax rates, or change property tax rates in specific ways. It directly affects voters who would approve or reject such tax-related initiatives and the state government that would administer them. The change applies only to initiatives submitted for voter approval after November 1, 2026. If approved by voters at the next general election, the amendment would take effect on November 23, 2026. The bill does not change existing requirements for non-tax initiatives or local government measures.
