Indiana voters will see a public question on the ballot when they head to the polls to cast their votes in the Nov. 6 general election. The question reads as follows:
PUBLIC QUESTION #1
“Shall Article 10, Section 5 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana be amended to require the General Assembly to adopt balanced budgets for State Government that do not exceed estimated revenues unless a super majority of two-thirds of the members of the House of Representatives and two-thirds of the members of the Senate vote
to suspend the requirement?”
Senator Randy Head (R-Logansport) says this amendment is outlined in Senate Enrolled Joint Resolution No. 7, which was passed by the General Assembly in 2017. You can read the full text of the amendment here.
