' 255' QUESTION NO. 1 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION SUMMARY The proposed constitutional amendment would permit the legislature to establish as many as four different classes of real property for tax'purposes. Property in any one class would be required to be assessed, rated and taxed propor- tionately but property in different classes could be assessed, rated and taxed differently. The legislature could grant reasonable exemptions. The .constitution presentiy requires all property (other than wild lands, .forest lands, and certain agricultural and horticultural lands) to be assessed and rated equally at full value for tax purposes. QUESTION NO. 2 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION SUMMARY The proposed constitutional amendment would allow a governor who had not served in thc preceding year as g6vernor to submit a proposed budget to the legislature within eight weeks of the beginning of the legislative session. A governor who had served in the preceding year would' still be required to submit .a proposed budget within *' .cc weeks of tl~ heeinning of a legislative session. QUESTION NO. 3 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION SUMMARY The proposed constitutional amendment would require the Secretary of the Commonwealth to send information about questions that will appear on the state election ballot to each person eligible to vote ha the Common- - wealth, or to every residence in the Commonwealth where one or more eligible voters live. Presently, the Constitution requires the Secretary to send this informa- tion to each registered voter in the Commonwealth. QUESTION NO. 4 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION SUMMARY The proposed constitutional amendment would require that in the taking of the state census, residence' be deter- mined in accordance with the standards used by the United States when taking the federal census. Under the federal standards, residence is based upon where a person spends most of his or her time whereas under present state standards residence is based upon legal domicile. The standards would be subject to any exceptions which the legislature might enact. QUESTION NO. 5 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION SUMMARY The proposed constitutional amendment would allow a local charter commission 18 months after its election to prepare a charter or charter revision for submission to the voters of a city or town. Presently, thc constitution provides that the charter or charter revision be pre- pared within 10 months of the election of the charter commission. 2 '5'6 The polls will be open from 8:00 A.M., and will close at 8:00 P.M.
