What’s in it

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa by requiring a single rate for individual income taxes. Under the amendment, a tax on income or based upon income for individuals shall be imposed at a single rate if imposed, and a graduated rate of taxation on such income is prohibited. The amendment prohibits more than one income tax rate above zero imposed by the state for state purposes on an individual at any one time. The resolution, if adopted, would be published and then referred to the next general assembly (91st) for adoption, before being submitted to the electorate for ratification.
