What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2013 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.
