● Prevents bureaucrats from imposing new or higher fees without majority approval from elected officials.
REQUIRES ALL NEW TAXES TO DESIGNATE A USE, RATE AND DURATION
● Ensures the tax rate and length of time a new or higher tax will be in effect is listed on the ballot.
● Restricts fees for government services to their reasonable actual cost.
*Meaning no more “bait-and-switch” tactics where tax revenue is “promised” to public safety, roads or schools but is later diverted and spent on whatever pet projects politicians want.*
CLOSES LOOPHOLES
● Clearly defines what is a tax or fee — addressing recent court decisions that overturned decades of established taxpayer protections.
● Restores the will of the voters when they passed Proposition 218 (1996) and
Proposition 26 (2010) by reinstating two- thirds voter approval for all new local special tax increases.
● Does not impact general tax increases, which still require a majority vote for passage
MAINTAINS CURRENT REVENUE AND SPENDING
● All revenue, fees and other charges in effect as of January 1, 2022, are not affected — ensuring current revenue and spending are protected.
With families across California struggling to make ends meet and the cost of living continuing to skyrocket, it is long past time voters were given the right to vote on all new taxes. The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act simply gives hard-working Californians the right to vote on whether or not to raise taxes and ensures tax dollars are actually spent where promised, all while maintaining current revenue and spending.
