Proposition 65

Local Government Funds and Revenues. State Mandates.

November 02, 2004

 


This measure amends the State Constitution to significantly reduce the Legislature’s authority to make changes affecting any local government’s revenues from the property tax, sales tax, and vehicle license fee. Specifically, the measure requires approval by the state’s voters before a legislative measure could take effect that reduced a local government’s revenues below the amount or share it would have received based on laws in effect on January 1, 2003.
