The Kentucky Appropriated School Funds Referendum was on the November 3, 1959 ballot in Kentucky as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment, where it was approved. The measure established a sales tax to provide a veterans’ bonus.[1]

Aftermath

The measure was later overturned by the Kentucky Court of Appeals, Stovall v. Gartrell, 332 S.W.2d 256. The court held the subject of the amendment to be one properly addressed by statute rather than by a constitutional amendment.[1]
