Election Notes:

The proposed constitutional amendment would: 1. Require a super majority vote (2/3 vote) of the State Legislature to enact any law which addresses a matter which a county, city, township, village or municipal authority could otherwise address under its governing powers or which places a condition on unrestricted aid extended local governments by the State. (Currently, a simple majority vote of legislature is required to enact such laws.) 2. Retroactively apply the super majority vote requirement to any such law enacted on or after March 1, 2000. 3. Exempt from the super majority vote requirement any such law which can be applied at the option of local governments.
