No means the constitution would still require publishing proposed amendments in newspapers in each county for two months.
Constitutional Amendment B (60% vote for tax-raising citizen initiatives). Requires citizen-proposed laws (initiatives) that raise taxes to pass with at least 60% of the vote instead of a simple majority.
