And exactly how would this Amendment guarantee a PFD of more than say 1 penny?  As is pointed out, the legislature appropriates: therefore, if the PFD is, in fact, an appropriation (which it seems to be) than how are you going to overcome that fact and the State Constitutional mandate that no current legislature can bind a future legislature? That principal is what is stopping the Producers of oil from having the "certainty " of taxes they desire per Article 9 Section 1 (Taxing Power) which states : "The power of taxation shall never be surrendered. This power shall not be suspended or contracted away, except as provided in this article" (and there is no exception for oil or gas production taxes for any LNG export project).

You might as well create an amendment guaranteeing a right to sunrise and sunset each day; however, notice how the legislature continues to dictate the exact time of day when that event occurs by imposing Daylight Saving Time - the same principal is at play there.
