BILL NUMBER: S2215 SPONSOR: SERINO TITLE OF BILL: CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY proposing amendments to section 14 of article 3 and section 2 of article 9 of the constitution, in relation to the procedure for voting increases in the rate of state taxes PURPOSE: This bill would require a two-thirds vote from each house of the state legislature to impose or extend taxes, and a two-thirds vote from local legislative bodies enacting a local law to impose or extend taxes. This bill would ensure that a supermajority of state or local legislative representatives assent to an imposition of a tax, which also holds elected officials more accountable to the state's taxpayers, both at the statewide and the local levels of government.
