Proposal for a legislative amendment to the Constitution requiring a supermajority vote for the utilization of rainy day funds
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment requiring a supermajority vote (such as two-thirds) in the state legislature to access rainy day funds, rather than a simple majority. It directly affects the legislative process for using these designated emergency savings reserves. The key mechanism would change the voting threshold needed for lawmakers to authorize withdrawals from the rainy day fund, making it harder to spend these funds without broader consensus. This is a procedural change to the state constitution, not a direct policy affecting citizens or programs.
