Summary

The California Constitution conditions the imposition of a special tax by a city, county, or special district upon the approval of 23 of the voters of the city, county, or special district voting on that tax, except that certain school entities may levy an ad valorem property tax for specified purposes with the approval of 55% of the voters within the jurisdiction of these entities. This measure would alternatively condition the imposition, extension, or increase of a special tax by a local government for the purpose of providing funding for local transportation projects upon the approval of 55% of its voters voting on the proposition. The measure would also make conforming and technical, nonsubstantive changes.
