Be It Resolved By The General Assembly Of The State Of Iowa:
	Section 1.  The following amendment to the Constitution of the 

State of Iowa is proposed:
The Constitution of the State of Iowa is amended by adding the 
following new section to new Article XIII:
ARTICLE XIII.
EXPENDITURE LIMITATION.
GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE LIMITATION.  Section 1.
1.  For the purposes of this section:
a.  "Adjusted revenue estimate" means the most recent revenue 
estimate determined before January 1, or a later and lesser revenue 
estimate determined before adjournment of the regular session of the 
General Assembly, for the general fund for the following fiscal year as 
determined by a revenue estimating conference which shall be 
established by the General Assembly by law, adjusted by subtracting 
estimated refunds payable from that estimated revenue and adding 
any available surplus in accordance with subsection 5. 
b.  "General fund" means the principal operating fund of the state 
which shall be established by the General Assembly by law.
c.  "New revenues" means moneys which are received by the state 
due to increased tax rates or fees or newly created taxes or fees over 
and above those moneys which are received due to state taxes or fees 
which are in effect as of January 1 following the most recent state 
revenue estimating conference.  "New revenues" also includes moneys 
received by the general fund due to new transfers over and above 
those moneys received by the general fund due to transfers which are 
in effect as of January 1 following the most recent state revenue 
estimating conference.  The state revenue estimating conference shall 
determine the eligibility of transfers to the general fund which are to 
be considered as new revenue in determining the state general fund 
expenditure limitation.
2.  A state general fund expenditure limitation is created and 
calculated in subsection 3, for each fiscal year beginning on or after 
July 1 following the effective date of this section.
	3.  Except as otherwise provided in this section, the state general 

fund expenditure limitation for a fiscal year shall be ninety-nine 
percent of the adjusted revenue estimate.
4.  The state general fund expenditure limitation shall be used by 
the Governor in the preparation of the budget and by the General 
Assembly in the budget process.  If a new revenue source is proposed, 
the budget revenue projection used for that new revenue source for 
the period beginning on the effective date of the new revenue source 
and ending in the fiscal year in which the source is included in the 
adjusted revenue estimate shall be ninety-five percent of the amount 
remaining after subtracting estimated refunds payable from the 
projected revenue from that source.  If a new revenue source is 
established and implemented, the original state general fund 
expenditure limitation amount provided for in subsection 3 shall be 
readjusted to include ninety-five percent of the estimated revenue 
from that source.
5.  Any surplus existing at the end of a fiscal year which exceeds 
ten percent of the adjusted revenue estimate of that fiscal year shall 
be included in the adjusted revenue estimate for the following fiscal 
year.  Any surplus equal to ten percent or less of the adjusted revenue 
estimate of the fiscal year may be included in the adjusted revenue 
estimate for the following fiscal year if approved in a bill receiving the 
affirmative votes of at least three-fifths of the whole membership of 
each house of the General Assembly.  For purposes of this section, 
"surplus" means the cumulative excess of revenues and other 
financing sources over expenditures and other financing uses for the 
general fund at the end of a fiscal year.
6.  The scope of the expenditure limitation under subsection 3 shall 
not include federal funds, donations, constitutionally dedicated 
moneys, and moneys in expenditures from a state retirement system.
7.  The Governor shall submit and the General Assembly shall 
pass a budget which does not exceed the state general fund 
expenditure limitation.
8.  The Governor shall not submit and the General Assembly shall 
not pass a budget which in order to balance assumes reversion of any 
part of the total of the appropriations included in the budget.
	9.  The state shall use consistent standards, in accordance with 

generally accepted accounting principles, for all state budgeting and 
accounting purposes. 
10. The General Assembly shall enact laws to implement this 
section.
Sec. 2.  The following amendment to the Constitution of the State 
of Iowa is proposed:
The Constitution of the State of Iowa is amended by adding the 
following new sections to new Article XIII:
ARTICLE XIII.
THREE-FIFTHS MAJORITY FOR TAX LAW CHANGES.
THREE-FIFTHS MAJORITY TO INCREASE TAXES.  Section 1.  
A bill containing provisions enacting, amending, or repealing the 
state income tax or enacting, amending, or repealing the state sales 
and use taxes, in which the aggregate fiscal impact of those 
provisions relating to those taxes results in a net increase in state tax 
revenues, as determined by the General Assembly, shall require the 
affirmative votes of at least three-fifths of the whole membership of 
each house of the General Assembly for passage.  This section does 
not apply to income tax or sales and use taxes imposed at the option 
of a local government.
THREE-FIFTHS MAJORITY TO ENACT NEW STATE TAX.  Sec. 
2.  A bill that establishes a new state tax to be imposed by the state 
shall require the affirmative votes of at least three-fifths of the whole 
membership of each house of the General Assembly for passage.
ENFORCEMENT OF THREE-FIFTHS MAJORITY REQUIRE-
MENT.  Sec. 3. A lawsuit challenging the proper enactment of a bill 
pursuant to section 1 or 2 shall be filed no later than one year 
following the enactment.  Failure to file such a lawsuit within the 
one-year time limit shall negate the three-fifths majority requirement 
as it applies to the bill. Each bill to which section 1 or 2 applies shall 
include a separate provision describing the requirements for 
enactment prescribed by section 1 or 2.
	IMPLEMENTATION.  Sec. 4.  The General Assembly shall enact 

laws to implement sections 1 through 3.
Sec. 3.  The foregoing proposed amendments to the Constitution of 
the State of Iowa, having been adopted and agreed to by the Seventy-
seventh General Assembly, 1998 Session, thereafter duly published, 
and now adopted and agreed to by the Seventy-eighth General 
Assembly in this joint resolution, shall be submitted to the people of 
the State of Iowa at a special election called for that purpose to be
