Summary
The proposal adds a new section to the state constitution that would force the General Assembly to include a fiscal impact statement for any law that imposes a mandate on local governments. It also bars local governments from having to carry out such mandates until the state provides funding and clear standards. The measure aims to protect local budgets and ensure transparency.
