|
The Louisiana Income Tax Revision Amendment, also known as Amendment 2, was on the ballot in Louisiana on November 7, 2000, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was defeated. This amendment proposed the elimination of the state income tax deduction for federal income taxes paid. It also stipulated that state income tax rates will not exceed those that would be set by law as of January 1, 2001. This amendment coupled with Amendment 3 on the ballot in 2000 was known as the "Stelly Plan". Its purpose was to address the shortfall in funding for the state. Both amendments had to pass in order for the plan to be enacted.[1][2][3]
