What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
