IOWA CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 1

Two-Thirds Legislative Approval for State Income Tax Increases

Vote YES or NO

The proposed amendment would require a two-thirds majority in both chambers of the Iowa Legislature to approve certain state income tax increases or establish new state taxes on income.

Currently, those measures generally require a simple majority. If approved, the amendment would require at least 67 votes in the 100-member Iowa House and 34 votes in the 50-member Iowa Senate.

The proposed requirement would not apply to taxes imposed at the option of local governments.

A YES vote supports adding the two-thirds requirement to the Iowa Constitution.

A NO vote keeps the existing simple-majority requirement.
