SCA 15 California Senate · 2011-2012 Regular Session

A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Section 3 of Article XIIIA thereof, relating to taxation.

Summary
The California Constitution requires that a change in state statute, passed by the Legislature, that results in a taxpayer paying a higher tax be imposed in an act that is passed with the approval of not less than 23 of the membership of each house of the Legislature. This measure would alternatively allow a change in state statute, passed by the Legislature, that results in a taxpayer paying a higher tax to be imposed in an act passed by a majority of the membership of each house of the Legislature, where that change becomes effective only when submitted to the voters and approved by a majority of the voters voting on that measure at a statewide election. This measure would make related findings and declarations.
