Amendment 19 added a new section, Section 3, to Article VII of the Washington State Constitution.

It was the 19th amendment approved to the Washington State Constitution subsequent to its adoption in 1889.

Article VII had had a Section 3 up until 1930, when that original Section 3 was deleted by Amendment 14. Section 3 was then vacant until 1946, when Amendment 19 was enacted.

The United States and its agencies and instrumentalities, and their property, may be taxed under any of the tax laws of this state, whenever and in such manner as such taxation may be authorized or permitted under the laws of the United States, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Constitution of this state.
