Summary

The California Constitution prohibits specified public entities from incurring indebtedness or liability in a year that exceeds the income and revenue provided for that year, without the assent of 23 of the voters of the public entity voting at an election to be held for that purpose, except as provided. The California Constitution, notwithstanding that prohibition, requires, for a school district, community college district, or county office of education, any proposition for the incurrence of indebtedness in the form of general obligation bonds for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of school facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for school facilities, to be adopted upon the approval of 55% of the voters of the district or county, as appropriate, voting on the proposition at an election. This measure would repeal the provision authorizing the adoption of a proposition for those purposes by 55% of the voters of the district or county, thereby imposing a 23 vote requirement for these school-related bonds. The measure would also make conforming changes and nonsubstantive corrections.
