Applies to new or expanded state mandates where no state funding is provided to cover resulting costs.

Establishes a procedural barrier to passing unfunded mandates by requiring a supermajority vote rather than a simple majority.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

Introduced by Rep. Yaccarino (87th District) during the January 2017 session.
