Fire and Emergency Services Excess Levy Majority Approval Amendment

Summary

The Senate Joint Resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would let local excess levies or rate increases for fire protection and emergency medical services be approved by a 50 percent plus one vote, instead of the 60 percent required for all other levies. It keeps the higher threshold for any other tax increases. The change would apply to counties, municipalities and other local taxing units.
