Current Bill Summary

SJR 9 - This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, provides that any proposal by the state or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision for a new tax or fee, an increase in an existing tax or fee, or a reauthorization of an existing tax or fee that is submitted to the voters for approval shall not become effective unless it receives a qualified majority in favor and at least 22% of qualified voters cast a ballot in the election.

This amendment is identical to SJR 46 (2020) and is substantially similar to SJR 52 (2020), SJR 24 (2019), and SJR 12 (2019).
