A.G. File No. 2008-023

California Budget Efficiency Act (Amendment #1-NS)

February 03, 2009

 


This measure amends the Constitution to lower the vote requirement necessary to pass the budget bill and related legislation from two-thirds to 55 percent. The lower vote requirement would also apply to measures to increase taxes that are related to the budget bill. These bills would take effect immediately upon enactment (or upon a date specified in the legislation).
