Constitutional Amendment proposal to prohibit unfunded mandates by the state to local governments

Summary

The proposal adds constitutional language that forbids the state legislature or agencies from requiring local governments to fund new programs or duties unless the state provides full funding. It allows exceptions for criminal laws, emergencies approved by a two‑thirds supermajority, federal mandates, voter‑approved local actions, or costs under 1% of a local budget. The amendment would be placed on the 2026 ballot for voter approval.
