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.

Amendment 3TaxesThis measure proposed to make food and utilities exempt from state sales tax. Along with Amendment 2 on the ballot in 2000, this measure was known as the "Stelly Plan". It was proposed to address a shortfall in funding for state programs. Both amendments had to pass in order for the plan to be enactedAlthough this amendment was approved by the voters, it did not take effect. This is because Amendment 2 was not approved and both amendments had to be approved for either amendment to be implemented.
