A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Section 8 of Article II thereof, relating to initiatives.
Summary
Existing law permits voters to propose statutes and amendments to the Constitution, and to adopt or reject them, through the initiative process. This measure would require an initiative measure that would authorize the issuance of state general obligation bonds in a total amount exceeding $1 billion to either provide additional tax or fee revenues, the elimination of existing programs, or both, as necessary to fully fund the bonds, as determined by the Legislative Analyst, in order to be submitted to the voters or have any effect.
