AI Summary
- Proposes a constitutional amendment requiring a three-fifths supermajority vote in both the Senate and General Assembly to pass any bill levying a new state tax or increasing an existing state tax.
- Current law requires only a simple majority to pass tax legislation; this amendment would raise that threshold for tax-related bills specifically.
- Amendments to tax bills would also require three-fifths approval from members of the body proposing or concurring with the amendment.
- If approved by the Legislature, the amendment would be placed on the ballot at the next general election occurring more than three months after legislative approval.
- Sponsored by Senator Parker Space representing District 24 (Morris, Sussex, and Warren counties) and pre-filed for introduction in the 2026 session.
