What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This proposed constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2009 legislature on
first consideration, requires the state to budget and account for all funds it receives
or expends in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The amendment restricts, in the budget bill, expenditures and other financial
uses from the general fund that exceed revenues and other financing sources as
estimated by the legislature in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. It further requires that any existing budget deficit be extinguished by at
least ten percent for each year covered by the budget bill.
A constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive legislatures,
and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
