Initiative Statute
Proposition 49 - 952 (SA2001RF0050)
After School Programs. State Grants. Initiative Statute.
Proponents: Paul F. Miner and Arnold Schwarzenegger (916) 448-8606
Increases state grant funds available for before and after school programs providing tutoring, homework assistance, and educational enrichment. Establishes priority for continued funding level for schools already receiving grants. Makes public elementary, middle and junior high schools, including charter schools, eligible for grants ranging from $50,000 to $75,000. Provides priority for additional funding for schools with predominantly low-income students. Declares that funding for before and after school programs shall be above Proposition 98 base funding, and at least $85 million for first year increasing to $550 million annually if state revenues grow. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: This measure would have a major fiscal effect of additional annual state costs for before and after school programs that could exceed $400 million annually, beginning in 2004-2005.
Initiative Statute
Proposition 50 - 940 (SA2001RF0039)
Water Quality, Supply and Safe Drinking Water Projects. Coastal Wetlands Purchase and Protection. Bonds. Initiative Statute.
Proponent: Joseph L. Caves (916) 558-1516
Authorizes $3,440,000,000 general obligation bonds, to be repaid from state's General Fund, to fund a variety of water projects including: specified CALFED Bay-Delta Program projects including urban and agricultural water use efficiency projects; grants and loans to reduce Colorado River water use; purchasing, protecting and restoring coastal wetlands near urban areas; competitive grants for water management and water quality improvement projects; development of river parkways; improved security for state, local and regional water systems; and grants for desalination and drinking water disinfecting projects. Summary of estimate by Legislate Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: If passed, the measure would result in state costs to repay the bonds, which, if the bonds were issued with a maturity of 25 years, would equal approximately $5.7 billion to pay principal ($3.44 billion) and interest ($2.24 billion), with payments of approximately $227 million per year. The measure would also result in potential costs of an unknown amount to state and local governments to operate or maintain properties or projects acquired or developed with these bond funds.
Initiative Statute
Proposition 51 - 935 (SA01RF0029)
Transportation. Allocation of Sales and Use Taxes Raised From Sale or Lease of Motor Vehicles. Initiative Statute.
Proponent: Gerald H. Meral (916) 444-8726
Reallocates 30% of certain state revenues collected on motor vehicle sales or leases from the General Fund to the Traffic congestion Relief and Safe School Bus Trust Fund. Allocates money for transportation programs including: highway expansion, specific freeway interchange improvements, mass transit improvements, purchasing buses, and expanding light and commuter rail. Provides funds for environmental enhancement, transportation impact mitigation programs, and transportation safety programs. Allocates money to 45 specific projects and for remainder specifies distribution percentages, restricts fund uses, and provides accountability measures. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst of fiscal impact on state and local governments: About $460 million in 2002-03 and $950 million in 2003-04, increasing annually thereafter, for state and local transportation-related purposes. Summary of estimate by Department of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Increases resources for state and local transportation-related purposes by about $460 million in 2002-03 and $950 million in 2003-04, increasing annually thereafter. Potentially increases resources for Proposition 98 purposes and reduces resources for other General Fund purposes by significant amounts that could exceed the amounts stated above.
Initiative Statute
Proposition 52 - 936 (SA01RF0036)
Election Day Voter Registration. Initiative Statute.
Proponents: Lance Olson (916) 442-2942 and Vigo G. Nielsen, Jr. (415) 389-6800
Allows persons who are legally eligible to vote and have valid identification to register to vote on election day at their polling place. Increases criminal penalty for voter and voter registration fraud. Makes conspiracy to commit voter fraud a crime. Requires trained staff at polling places to manage election day registration. Creates fund to implement measure, including training and providing personnel for election day registration. Allows persons to register or re-register during 28 days preceding election day at their local elections office. Provides more time to county election officials to prepare voter registration lists. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Direct of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: This measure would result annually in about $6 million in state costs and no net costs to counties.
California uses the direct initiative process, which enables voters to bypass the Legislature and have an issue of concern put directly on the ballot for voter approval or rejection. There are two types of initiatives that can be placed on the ballot: 1) statute revision, which requires signatures equal to five percent of the total votes cast for Governor in the preceding gubernatorial election, and 2) constitutional amendment, which requires signatures equal to eight percent of the Governor's total vote in the preceding gubernatorial election.
As new initiatives enter circulation or qualify for an election ballot, the Secretary of State's office will issue initiative status updates.
