What’s in it
AI summary If passed, this amendment would require two-thirds of the state legislature to agree before any new state taxes can be created or income tax rates can be raised. It also sets a one-year deadline for anyone to file a lawsuit challenging these types of tax laws. Voters would have the final say on whether this change is added to the Iowa Constitution.1
Read the official explanation
2006 Constitution of the State of Iowa requiring a two-thirds majority vote for certain tax law changes. The amendment requires a bill that increases the individual income tax rate or corporate income tax rate to be adopted by at least two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the general assembly. In addition, the amendment requires a bill that establishes a new tax to be imposed by the state to be adopted by at least two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the general assembly. A lawsuit challenging enactment of a bill subject to the two-thirds majority passage requirement must be filed no later than one year following the enactment of the bill. Finally, the amendment requires the general assembly to enact laws to implement the amendment. The resolution, if adopted, would be published and then referred to the next general assembly (90th) for adoption, before being submitted to the electorate for ratification.
