Proposal Number 1, an Amendment: Removal of Small City School Districts From Special Constitutional Debt Limitation
The proposed amendment to Article 8, section 4 of the Constitution removes the special constitutional debt limitation now placed on small city school districts, so they will
be treated the same as all other school districts. Shall the proposed amendment be approved? 73% ✅YES; 358,955 vs. 27% NO; 134,767

Abstract of Proposal Number One, An Amendment.  This constitutional amendment removes the special debt limit for small city school districts.  Debt limits would be established in state law for all school districts.  A small city school district is one that includes at least part of a small city.  A small city is a city with less than 125,000 people.  The State Constitution limits how much debt a small city school district can incur.  Their debt cannot be more than 5% of the value of taxable real estate in the district.  There are exceptions for certain expenses.  Other school districts are not subject to a constitutional debt restriction, but have a different debt limit provided by state law.  State law says their debts cannot be greater than 10% of the value of taxable real property.  If this Constitutional Amendment passes, small city school districts would be eligible to have the same debt limit as other school districts enacted via legislative action.

Proposal Number 2, an Amendment: Extending Sewage Project Debt Exclusion From Debt Limit
The proposed amendment to Article 8, section 5 of the Constitution extends for ten years the authority of counties, cities, towns, and villages to remove from their constitutional debt limits debt for the construction of sewage facilities. Shall the proposed amendment be approved? 76% ✅YES; 372,659 vs. 24% NO; 117,895.

Abstract of Proposal Number Two, An Amendment.  The Constitution limits the debt counties, cities, towns and villages can incur.  This debt limit does not include debt for sewage treatment and disposal construction projects.  The sewer debt exception expires on January 1, 2024.  This amendment extends the sewer debt exception for ten more years until January 1, 2034.  The proposed amendment does this by changing section 5 of article 8 of the Constitution.
