§1What your vote means

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

A yes vote

A yes vote would create the Show-Me Prosperity Fund, a permanent state endowment invested in S&P 500 index funds, whose money could be spent only to eliminate state taxes, starting once the treasurer reports and the legislature confirms that a year's earnings could replace them, with yearly spending capped at 3 percent of the fund's five-year average value.2 New art. IV, § 15(a), subsections 1 and 2

A no vote

A no vote would not create the fund or its spending rules, so the state's income, sales and other taxes would continue under current law, with no constitutional plan to replace them using fund earnings.1,2

More about it

The fund would hold money the legislature puts into it plus gifts and grants, and its principal could not be spent, pledged or borrowed against.2 New art. IV, § 15(a), subsections 1 and 3 Once the listed taxes end, they could not be enacted again, but the legislature could raise taxes or use other money if the fund became insolvent or fell short.2 New art. IV, § 15(a), subsection 2(5)
