This measure amends the Constitution to lower the vote requirement necessary to pass the budget bill and other General Fund appropriations from two-thirds to three-fifths (60 percent). The lower vote requirement would also apply to measures to increase state taxes. This measure does not amend the section of the Constitution that requires a two-thirds vote for bills to take effect immediately. Some trailer bills, therefore, would still be subject to the requirement for a two-thirds vote in order to take immediate effect.
