Text

Without raising taxes, may the state keep and spend all revenue generated by the 2022 voter- approved state tax deduction limits on individuals with incomes of $300,000 or more and maintain these deduction limits in order to continue funding the healthy school meals for all program, which pays for public schools to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students in kindergarten through twelfth grade? [1]

Background

In 2022, voters passed Proposition FF, which provided free breakfast and lunch to all students regardless of family income. To fund it, state income tax deductions were limited for those earning over $300,000 per year. Over $100 million was raised through the reduced deductions. As state law requires tax increases to be approved by voters, Proposition LL was placed on the ballot. [2]

Impact

If passed, it would allow the state to spend over $12 million raised through those deductions. [3]
