Utah HJR020 proposes constitutional amendments to enhance taxpayer oversight of government spending.
Utah HJR020 proposes amendments to the Utah Constitution to strengthen taxpayer oversight of government spending. The proposal mandates that the state or political subdivisions submit any legislation imposing a new tax or expanding an existing tax to voters for approval. It also requires voter approval for spending more than the previous fiscal year's budget, adjusted for inflation and other factors. Additionally, the proposal establishes taxpayer rights, including the right to file enforcement suits with high priority and the right to a refund of illegally collected revenue with interest.
