Voters across New York State will be asked to vote on Proposition 2, Exclude Indebtedness for Sewage Facilities Amendment, which extends an existing provision in the New York Constitution, Article VIII, Section 5, Paragraph E, that would otherwise expire.
The provision was first designed to exclude constitutional debt limits in relation to the construction or maintenance of sewer facilities and was first authorized in 1963. New Yorkers last voted to extend the provision in 2013, with 62% in favor of the proposition.
A “yes” vote supports allowing municipalities to exclude from their constitutional debt limits indebtedness for the construction or reconstruction of sewage facilities for an additional ten years starting in 2024.
A “no” vote opposes allowing municipalities to exclude from their constitutional debt limits indebtedness for the construction or reconstruction of sewage facilities for an additional ten years starting in 2024.
