Wisconsin has a statutory limit on tax revenues under Wisconsin Statutes 13.085. Enacted in 2011, the statute requires tax increases to be approved by 2/3 supermajority in either house of the Wisconsin Legislature. This statute can be overridden in the case of a voter-approved tax increase only if the referendum sent to voters is passed by a joint-resolution of both houses in the Wisconsin Legislature.
