The Louisiana Sales and Use Tax Revision Amendment, also known as Amendment 3, was on the ballot in Louisiana on November 7, 2000, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was approved. This measure proposed to make food and utilities exempt from state sales tax. Along with Amendment 2 on the ballot in 2000, this measure was known as the "Stelly Plan". It was proposed to address a shortfall in funding for state programs. Both amendments had to pass in order for the plan to be enacted[1][2][3]

Although this amendment was approved by the voters, it did not take effect. This is because Amendment 2 was not approved and both amendments had to be approved for either amendment to be implemented.
