Alaska

Article 9, Section 16 of the Alaska State Constitution created a tax and expenditure limit for the state. This amendment was enacted in 1982 by legislative referendum. This TEL is tied to population + inflation growth but can be overridden by voter approval or in case of disaster. It is limited only to appropriations, limited to $500,000 in additional spending.

The base year represents the year the hypothetical Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) would have been enacted. Selecting a base year changes how the state’s TABOR is calculated because the annual growth rates of inflation and population change depending on when TABOR is enacted.
