Summary

Impact analysis
If it passes, Hemet would need a much bigger voter margin to approve new special taxes, which could limit future funding for fire, schools, or other targeted services.
Taxpayer advocates and voters who want a higher bar for new taxes would get stronger protection against future special tax measures.
Residents and local agencies that might rely on future special taxes for fire response, schools, or other services could be hurt if it becomes harder to pass those measures.
