Summary

The amendment would add a new Section 20(a) that forces districts to get voter consent before raising taxes, levying new debt, or changing tax policies that increase revenue. It also creates a private right of action with the highest civil priority, allowing successful plaintiffs to recover costs, attorney fees, and refunds with interest for illegal collections. The goal is to tighten limits on state and local revenue.
