What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2011 legislature on first

consideration, prohibits the legislature from passing any bill that places a

requirement on a local governmental unit unless the bill contains an appropriation

that reimburses the local governmental unit for the full cost of complying with the

requirement. The amendment does not prohibit the governor from vetoing an

appropriation contained in a bill that creates such a requirement.

A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive

legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
