The Alabama County Tax Guidelines, Amendment 22, also known as Amendment 22, was on the ballot in Alabama on December 6, 1955, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was defeated. The amendment proposed to amend the constitution. The amendment proposed that the court of County commissioners, board of revenue, or like governing body of Butler County shall levy and collect a special property tax, in addition to all other taxes, of not exceeding one percent on the value of the property in the County as assessed for state taxation during the preceding year, the proceeds of which shall be used exclusively for educational purposes, provided that such tax and the purpose or purposes thereof, and the time such tax is proposed to be continued, shall have been first submitted to a vote of the qualified electors of the County and voted for by a majority of those voting at such election. If any proposal to levy a tax is defeated in any election, subsequent elections thereon may be held at any time.[1]
