This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law permits voters to propose statutes and amendments to the Constitution through the initiative process, and to adopt any initiative measure by a majority of the votes cast on the measure. This measure would specify that an initiative measure authorizing the issuance of state general obligation bonds would instead require approval by 55% of the voters.
