California Legislative Analyst Office - State Budget-Related Taxes and Spending. This measure reduces from two-thirds to 55 percent the number of votes required to pass the budget and other bills—including tax increase measures—related to the budget. Would take effect immediately upon passage. California Legislative Analyst's Office
 
“The state Constitution requires a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of the Legislature for taxes to be raised. The proposed Budget Accountability Act would lower the threshold to 55%.... As supporters campaign, they are downplaying the fact that the measure would allow lawmakers to raise taxes more easily.” Los Angeles Times, 8/28/03
