BILL NUMBER:S1919 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. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This legislation is a constitutional amendment which would require a two-third's 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.
