SCR 1028 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

revenue increases; administrative fee authorization

SCR 1028 is a proposed constitutional amendment (not a regular bill) that would require a two-thirds vote in both Arizona legislative chambers to pass any law increasing state revenues. It defines "revenue increases" to include new taxes, higher tax rates, fee hikes, or changes to tax deductions/exemptions, while excluding effects like inflation. If approved by voters, it would change the process for future revenue-raising measures, requiring supermajority approval instead of a simple majority. The amendment is now scheduled for voter approval at the next general election.
