Relating to: accounting and expenditure of state funds and reduction of deficit (first consideration).
Failed to adopt pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution 1
Summary
The resolution would change the state constitution to force the legislature to use generally accepted accounting principles, report all state money, and forbid any bill that would raise a fund’s projected deficit. It also requires budget bills to cut existing deficits by at least one‑tenth of any projected tax‑revenue increase and bans new deficits once a fund is balanced. The amendment would affect all state budgeting and fiscal decisions.
