Summary

The measure would require voters to approve most new taxes, debt, or revenue increases and would cap how much a government entity can spend each fiscal year unless voters approve higher limits. It also eliminates automatic tax hikes, mandates refunds of excess revenue, and allows the legislature to suspend these rules in a declared emergency with a two‑thirds vote. The changes take effect only if a related constitutional amendment is adopted.
