A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.

Amendment 1 changes the state's budget stabilization fund. It raises the amount the fund may keep from 10% to 25% of general revenue collections. Each year the Legislature must transfer the lesser of $750 million or the amount needed to reach 25%, unless certain conditions are met. A YES vote approves these changes and lets the Legislature withdraw money from the fund for critical state needs. A NO vote keeps the current 10% limit.
