Amherst Rep Roll Call On CACR 13

New Hampshire voters will decide whether or not to prohibit a state tax on personal income this November.

The NH House of Representatives passed the amendment with a 256-110 vote.

Here is the amendment:

[Art.] 5-c. [Income Tax Prohibited.] Notwithstanding any general or special provision of this constitution, the general court shall not have the power or authority to impose and levy any assessment, rate, or tax upon income earned by any natural person; however, nothing in this Article shall be construed to prohibit any tax in effect on January 1, 2012, or adjustment to the rate of such a tax.”

The bill passed 19-4 in the Senate, with District 11 (which includes Amherst) representative Peter Bragdon voting in support of the amendment.
