Referendum
State Ballot Measures:
PROP 1 - Water Quality, Supply, & Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014
Authorizes $7.12 billion in general obligation bonds for state water supply infrastructure projects, such as surface and groundwater
storage; ecosystem and watershed protection and restoration; drinking water protection; water supply management; water recycling
and advanced water treatment technology; and flood control.
WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS
YES vote means: The state could sell $7.1 billion in general obligation bonds to fund various water-related programs
NO vote means: The state's ability to issue general obligation bonds for water supply and habitat restoration programs would remain
unchanged.
PROP 2 - State Budget, Budget Stabilization Account, Legislative Constitutional Amendment
Amends the State Constitution to end the existing rules for a state budget reserve—the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA)—and
replace them with new rules. The new rules would change how the state pays down debt and saves money in reserves, including the
requirement to spend a minimum amount each year to pay down specific debts. If passed, a new state reserve would be created for
schools and community colleges. In addition, a new state law would go into effect that sets the maximum budget reserves school
districts can keep at the local level in some future years.
WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS
YES vote means: The California Constitution would be amended to change the way debts are paid and money is saved in reserves.
Local school district budget reserves would be capped in some years.
NO vote means: Rules for the payment of state debts, state budget reserves, and local school district reserves would not change.
PROP 45 - Healthcare Insurance, Rate Changes. Initiative Statute
Requires insurance commissioner's approval before health insurer can change its rates or anything else affecting the charges
associated with health insurance. Provides for public notice, disclosure, and hearing, and subsequent judicial review. Exempts
employer large group health plans..
WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS
YES vote means: Rates for individual and small group health insurance would need to be approved by the insurance commissioner
before taking effect.
NO vote means: State regulators would continue to have the authority to review, but not approve, rates for individual and small
group health insurance.
PROP 46 - Drug & Alcohol Testing of Doctors, Medical Negligence Lawsuits. Initiative Statute
This measure would increase the state's cap on damages that can be assessed in medical negligence lawsuits to over $1 million
from the current cap of$250,000, with annual adjuments for inflation going forward. Additionally, it requires drug and alcohol testing
of doctors and the reporting of positive tests to the California Medical Board for mandated discipline. Lastly, it mandates that health
care practitioners consult a state prescription drug history database before prescribing certain medications.
WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS
YES vote means: The cap on medical malpractice damages for such things as pain and suffering would be increased from $250,000
to $1.1 million and adjusted annually for future inflation. Health care providers would be required to check a statewide
prescription drug database before prescribing or dispensing certain drugs to a patient for the first time. Hospitals would be required to
test certain physicians for alcohol and drugs.
NO vote means: The cap on medical malpractice damages for such things as pain and suffering would remain at $250,000 and not
be subject to annual inflation adjustments. Health care providers would not be required to check a statewide prescription database
before prescribing or dispensing drugs. Hospitals would not be required to test physicians for alcohol and drugs
PROP 47 - Criminal Sentences, Misdemeanor Penalties. Initiative Statute
This measure reduces penalties for certain offenders convicted of nonserious and nonviolent property and drug crimes. The measure
also allows certain offenders who have been previously convicted of such crimes to apply for reduced sentences. In addition, the
measure requires any state savings that result from the measure be spent to support truancy (unexcused absences) prevention,
mental health and substance abuse treatment, and victim services.
WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS
YES vote means: Criminal offenders who commit certain nonserious and nonviolent drug and property crimes would be sentenced
to reduced penalties (such as shorter terms in jail). State savings resulting from the measure would be used to support school
truancy and dropout prevention, victim services, mental health and drug abuse treatment, and other programs designed to keep
offenders out of prison and jail.
NO vote means: Penalties for offenders who commit certain nonserious and nonviolent drug and property crimes would not be
reduced.
PROP 48 - Indian Gaming Compacts. Referendum
In June 2013, the Legislature passed AB 277, which approves gaming compacts between the state and the North Fork Rancheria of
Mono Indians and the Wiyot Tribe. Under the State Constitution, enacted legislation can generally be placed before voters as a
referendum to determine whether it can go into effect. This proposition is a referendum on AB 277. If voters approve Proposition 48,
the gaming compacts between the state and the two tribes would go into effect, allowing North Fork to construct a casino in Madera
County.
WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS
YES vote means: The state's compacts with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians and the Wiyot Tribe would go into effect. As
a result, North Fork would be able to construct and operate a new casino in Madera County and would be required to make
various payments to state and local governments, Wiyot, and other tribes.
NO vote means: The state's compacts with North Fork and Wiyot would not go into effect. As a result, neither tribe could begin
gaming unless new compacts were approved by the state and federal governments.
