Know Before You Vote: Tennessee’s Constitutional Amendments #2 and #3 Explained
The next two amendments on our ballot address property taxes and victims’ rights. As voters, we have a responsibility to educate ourselves before voting on changes to our state’s highest governing document.
Unlike ordinary statutes, constitutional amendments establish or change provisions that the General Assembly cannot simply revise through ordinary legislation. If approved by voters, these amendments become part of our state constitution, and future legislators may enact laws to implement them within the boundaries of it.
