What ACA 16 does, verified January 12, 2026
The proposed constitutional amendment aims to clarify the balanced budget provision in the state constitution. It requires the controller to determine within 30 days of the budget bill's passage whether it violates the balanced budget provision. If the controller determines a violation, the legislature and the governor would forfeit their salaries and reimbursement for travel or living expenses until a new budget bill is enacted. The amendment also emphasizes the importance of passing a budget bill by June 15th of each year.
