Constitutional amendment to require political subdivisions to have voter approval at a general election before changing tax policies that will directly result in net increased tax revenue

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would require local governments in Nebraska to seek voter approval before implementing any tax changes that result in a net increase in tax revenue. The measure would specifically affect cities, counties, and other political subdivisions by mandating that such tax increases be voted on at a general election in November rather than being enacted by officials alone. If passed, this rule would prevent local leaders from raising taxes without direct public consent at the ballot box, while leaving other tax adjustments unaffected. The bill was introduced in July 2024 but was indefinitely postponed in August, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the legislature or the public.
