Step-by-step explanation:

The proposed amendment to Article 8, Section 4 of the Constitution removes the special debt limit for small city school districts. This amendment would treat small city school districts the same as all other school districts. The amendment would establish debt limits for all school districts in state law.

New York voters approved this amendment to the state constitution.

To pass a constitutional amendment in the United States, it must be:

Proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of CongressRatified by three-fourths (38 out of 50) of the states

A constitutional amendment can also be proposed by a convention called for that purpose if two-thirds of the states request one.
