Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution, including, but not limited to, Sections 8 and 9 of Article II, the initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge. The power of initiative to affect local taxes, assessments, fees and charges shall be applicable to all local governments and neither the Legislature nor any local government charter shall impose a signature requirement higher than that applicable to statewide statutory initiatives.

Prohibits restricting the initiative power to reduce or repeal any local tax, assessment, fee, or charge, notwithstanding other constitutional provisions. Extends that power to every local government and bars the Legislature or a local charter from requiring more signatures than are required for statewide statutory initiatives.
