State Ballot Measures
Recommending a YES vote on 34 & 36 and a NO vote on everything else.
Proposition 2:
Authorizes $10 billion in bonds for repairing, upgrading, and constructing facilities at K-12 schools, community colleges, and technical education programs, with required annual audits. It will increase state costs by about $500 million annually for 35 years.
Proposition 3:
Amends the California Constitution to establish a fundamental right to marry regardless of sex or race, removing existing language that limits marriage to a man and woman. This amendment has no fiscal impact on state or local government revenues or costs.
Proposition 4:
Authorizes $10 billion in bonds for safe drinking water, wildfire prevention, and climate risk protection, with mandatory annual audits. The state will face increased costs of about $400 million annually over 40 years to repay the bonds.
Proposition 5:
Allows local governments to approve affordable housing and infrastructure bonds with a 55% voter majority, including accountability requirements. This could lead to increased local borrowing, funded through higher property taxes, with the total amount depending on local decisions.
Proposition 6:
Removes a constitutional provision that allows involuntary servitude for incarcerated persons as a punishment for crime. The fiscal impact is uncertain but is unlikely to exceed tens of millions of dollars annually.
Proposition 32:
Increases the minimum wage to $17 immediately for larger employers and progressively raises it to $18 over the next few years for all employers. It could lead to changes in state and local government costs and revenues by up to hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
Proposition 33:
Repeals the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, allowing local governments to implement broader rent control measures. It could reduce local property tax revenues by at least tens of millions of dollars annually.
Proposition 34:
Requires certain health care providers to spend 98% of revenues from a federal prescription drug discount program on direct patient care and allows state negotiation of Medi-Cal drug prices. The state will incur additional costs likely in the millions of dollars annually for enforcement, covered by fees from affected entities.
Proposition 35:
Makes permanent the tax on managed health care plans to provide continuous funding for Medi-Cal health services, pending federal approval. This will result in a short-term cost increase of $1 billion to $2 billion annually, with an unknown long-term fiscal impact.
Proposition 36:
Allows felony charges and increased sentences for certain drug and theft crimes if the defendant has two prior convictions. This will likely increase state criminal justice costs by tens to hundreds of millions of dollars annually and local costs in the tens of millions.
