BILL NUMBER:S1683 TITLE OF BILL: CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY proposing an amendment to section 14 of article 3 of the constitution, in relation to the procedure for voting increases in the rate of state taxes PURPOSE: Requires two-thirds vote of legislature for any increase, extension, imposition or restoration of any tax, fee, assessment, surcharge or any other such levy change except to any bill which results from the passage of a home rule message. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This legislation is a constitutional amendment which would require a two-thirds majority vote, rather than a simple majority vote in the Senate and Assembly for any increase, extension, imposition or restoration of any tax, fee, assessment, surcharge or any other such levy change. JUSTIFICATION: Currently, only a majority vote is required for legislation to be passed which raises new revenue. This legislation would require broad and overwhelming support for any revenue increase to ensure that the increased revenue was truly vital to the entire State. It will be one more tool in restraining runaway budget spending and will help curtail the use of New York's taxpayers as the State's ATM.
