“Paycheck Protection” – Viewed as anti-union
despite language about corporations and thus defunding Democrats. Will therefore attract substantial union
funding to the opposition campaign, thus diverting potential funding from
governor’s tax initiative.
Prohibits Political Contributions by Payroll
Deduction. Prohibitions on Contributions to Candidates. Initiative Statute.
Summary Date: 05/25/11 | Qualified:
12/06/11 | Signatures
Required: 504,760
Proponent:
Ashlee N. Titus c/o Thomas W. Hiltachk (916) 442-7757
Restricts union political fundraising by
prohibiting use of payroll-deducted funds for political purposes. Same use
restriction would apply to payroll deductions, if any, by corporations or
government contractors. Permits voluntary employee contributions to employer or
union committees if authorized yearly, in writing. Prohibits unions and
corporations from contributing directly or indirectly to candidates and
candidate-controlled committees. Other political expenditures remain
unrestricted, including corporate expenditures from available resources not
limited by payroll deduction prohibition. Limits government contractor
contributions to elected officers or officer-controlled committees. Summary of
estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on
state and local government: Increased state implementation and enforcement costs of up
to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, potentially offset in part by
revenues from fines. (11-0010.)

Changes Law to Allow Auto Insurance Companies to Set
Prices Based on a Driver's History of Insurance Coverage. Initiative Statute.
Summary Date: 08/11/11 | Qualified:
01/18/12 | Signatures
Required: 504,760
Proponent:
Mike D'Arelli (916) 283-9473
Changes current law to permit insurance
companies to set prices based on whether the driver previously carried auto
insurance with any insurance company. Allows insurance companies to give
proportional discounts to drivers with some prior insurance coverage. Will allow
insurance companies to increase cost of insurance to drivers who have not
maintained continuous coverage. Treats drivers with lapse as continuously
covered if lapse is due to military service or loss of employment, or if lapse
is less than 90 days. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director
of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Probably no
significant fiscal effect on state insurance premium tax revenues. (11-0013.)
Death
Penalty Repeal. Initiative Statute.
Summary Date: 10/20/11 | Qualified:
04/23/12 | Signatures
Required: 504,760
Proponent:
Jeanne Woodford c/o James C. Harrison (510) 346-6200
Repeals death penalty as maximum punishment
for persons found guilty of murder and replaces it with life imprisonment
without possibility of parole. Applies retroactively to persons already
sentenced to death. Requires persons found guilty of murder to work while in
prison, with their wages to be applied to any victim restitution fines or
orders against them. Creates $100 million fund to be distributed to law
enforcement agencies to help solve more homicide and rape cases. Summary of
estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on
state and local government: Net savings to the state and counties that could
amount to the high tens of millions of dollars annually on a statewide basis
due to the elimination of the death penalty. One-time state costs totaling $100
million from 2012-13 through 2015-16 to provide funding to local law
enforcement agencies. (11-0035)
Human Trafficking. Penalties. Sex Offender
Registration. Initiative Statute.
Summary Date: 12/23/11 | Qualified:
05/10/12 | Signatures
Required: 504,760
Proponent:
Daphne Phung c/o James C. Harrison and Kari Krogseng. (510) 346-6200
Increases criminal penalties for human
trafficking, including prison sentences up to 15-years-to-life and fines up to
$1,500,000. Fines collected to be used for victim services and law enforcement.
Requires person convicted of trafficking to register as sex offender. Requires
sex offenders to provide information regarding Internet access and identities
they use in online activities. Prohibits evidence that victim engaged in sexual
conduct from being used against victim in court proceedings. Requires human trafficking
training for police officers. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and
Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Potential
one-time local government costs of up to a few million dollars on a statewide
basis, and lesser additional costs incurred each year, due to the new mandatory
training requirements for certain law enforcement officers. Minor increase to
state and local governments on the costs of incarcerating and supervising human
trafficking offenders. Unknown amount of additional revenue from new criminal
fees, likely not to exceed the low millions of dollars annually, which would
fund services for human trafficking victims. (11-0059)
Three
Strikes Law. Sentencing for Repeat Felony Offenders. Initiative Statute.
Summary Date: 12/15/11 | Qualified:
06/11/12 | Signatures
Required: 504,760
Proponent:
David Mills c/o Dan Newman (415) 981-9940
Revises three strikes law to impose life
sentence only when new felony conviction is serious or violent. Authorizes
re-sentencing for offenders currently serving life sentences if third strike
conviction was not serious or violent and judge determines sentence does not
pose unreasonable risk to public safety. Continues to impose life sentence
penalty if third strike conviction was for certain non-serious, non-violent sex
or drug offenses or involved firearm possession. Maintains life sentence
penalty for felons with non-serious, non-violent third strike if prior
convictions were for rape, murder, or child molestation. Summary of estimate by
Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local
government: State savings related to prison and parole operations that
potentially range in the high tens of millions of dollars annually in the short
run, possibly exceeding $100 million annually in the long run. Increased state
and county costs in the millions to low tens of millions of dollars annually in
the first few years, likely declining substantially in future years, for state
court activities and county jail, community supervision, and court-related
activities. (11-0057)
Genetically Engineered Foods. Mandatory Labeling.
Initiative Statute.
Summary Date: 02/14/12 | Qualified:
06/11/12 | Signatures
Required: 504,760
Proponent:
James Wheaton (510) 444-4710 x309
Requires labeling on raw or processed food
offered for sale to consumers if made from plants or animals with genetic
material changed in specified ways. Prohibits labeling or advertising such food
as “natural.” Exempts foods that are: certified organic; unintentionally
produced with genetically engineered material; made from animals fed or
injected with genetically engineered material but not genetically engineered
themselves; processed with or containing only small amounts of genetically
engineered ingredients; administered for treatment of medical conditions; sold
for immediate consumption such as in a restaurant; or alcoholic beverages.
Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal
impact on state and local government: Potential increase in state administrative costs of up to
one million dollars annually to monitor compliance with the disclosure
requirements specified in the measure. Unknown, but potentially significant,
costs for the courts, the Attorney General, and district attorneys due to
litigation resulting from possible violations to the provisions of this
measure. (11-0099)
Governor’s tax initiative
Temporary Taxes to Fund Education. Guaranteed
Local Public Safety Funding. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Summary Date: 03/16/12 | Qualified:
06/20/12 | Signatures
Required: 807,615
Proponent:
Thomas A. Willis c/o Karen Getman (510) 346-6200
Increases personal income tax on annual
earnings over $250,000 for seven years. Increases sales and use tax by ¼ cent
for four years. Allocates temporary tax revenues 89 percent to K-12 schools and
11 percent to community colleges. Bars use of funds for administrative costs,
but provides local school governing boards discretion to decide, in open
meetings and subject to annual audit, how funds are to be spent. Guarantees
funding for public safety services realigned from state to local governments.
Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal
impact on state and local government: Increased state revenues over the next seven fiscal years.
Estimates of the revenue increases vary—from $6.8 billion to $9 billion for
2012-13 and from $5.4 billion to $7.6 billion, on average, in the following
five fiscal years, with lesser amounts in 2018-19. These revenues would be
available to (1) pay for the state's school and community college funding
requirements, as increased by this measure, and (2) address the state's
budgetary problem by paying for other spending commitments. Limitation on the
state's ability to make changes to the programs and revenues shifted to local
governments in 2011, resulting in a more stable fiscal situation for local
governments.(12-0009)
“Munger” school tax initiative. Direct rival to governor’s tax initiative.
Tax
for Education and Early Childhood Programs. Initiative Statute.
Summary Date: 02/17/12 | Qualified:
06/20/12 | Signatures
Required: 504,760
Proponents:
Molly Munger, Roberta B. Johansen, James C. Harrison c/o Remcho, Johansen &
Purcell, LLP (510) 346-6200
Increases personal income tax rates for
annual earnings over $7,316 using sliding scale from .4% for lowest individual
earners to 2.2% for individuals earning over $2.5 million, ending after twelve
years. During first four years, 60% of revenues go to K-12 schools, 30% to
repaying state debt, and 10% to early childhood programs. Thereafter, allocates
85% of revenues to K-12 schools, 15% to early childhood programs. Provides K-12
funds on school specific, per-pupil basis, subject to local control, audits,
and public input. Prohibits state from directing or using new funds. Summary of
estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on
state and local government: Increased state personal income tax revenues beginning in
2013 and ending in 2024. Estimates of the revenue increases vary from $10
billion to $11 billion per fiscal year beginning in 2013-14, tending to
increase over time. The 2012-13 revenue increase would be about half this
amount. Until the end of 2016-17, 60 percent of revenues would be dedicated to
K-12 education and 10 percent would be provided to early care and education
programs. These allocations would supplement existing funding for these
programs. In 2017-18 and subsequent years, 85 percent would be provided to K-12
education and 15 percent to early care and education. General Fund savings on
debt-service costs of about $1.5 billion in 2012-13 and $3 billion in 2013-14,
with savings tending to grow thereafter until the end of 2016-17. In 2015-16
and subsequent years with stronger growth in state personal income tax
revenues, some of the revenues raised by this measure—several hundred million dollars
per year— would be used for debt-service costs, resulting in state savings. (11-0100)
Generally described as closing a corporate
tax loophole. Not a direct rival to
governor’s tax initiative but some pundits believe having three tax initiatives
on the ballot is confusing and might cause voters to reject all of them.
Tax
Treatment for Multistate Businesses. Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency
Funding. Initiative Statute.
Summary Date: 01/12/12 | Qualified:
06/20/12 | Signatures
Required: 504,760
Proponent:
Joseph Caves
Requires multistate businesses to calculate
their California income tax liability based on the percentage of their sales in
California. Repeals existing law giving multistate businesses an option to
choose a tax liability formula that provides favorable tax treatment for
businesses with property and payroll outside California. Dedicates $550 million
annually for five years from anticipated increase in revenue for the purpose of
funding projects that create energy efficiency and clean energy jobs in
California. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance
of fiscal impact on state and local government: Approximately
$500 million in additional state General Fund revenues in 2012-13 and $1
billion each year thereafter from requiring a single sales factor formula for
corporate taxes, with about half of the additional annual revenues from 2013-14
through 2017-18 supporting energy efficiency and alternative energy projects.
Increased Proposition 98 minimum funding guarantee for K-14 schools of roughly
$225 million annually from 2012-13 through 2017-18 and by roughly $500 million
each year thereafter, as a result of additional state General Fund revenues. (11-0080)

to unfold.
State
Budget. State and Local Government. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and
Statute.
Summary Date: 12/29/11 | Qualified:
06/26/12 | Signatures
Required: 807,615
Proponent:
Sunne Wright McPeak c/o Robin B. Johansen and James C. Harrison (510) 346-6200
Establishes two-year state budget cycle.
Prohibits Legislature from creating expenditures of more than $25 million
unless offsetting revenues or spending cuts are identified. Permits Governor to
cut budget unilaterally during declared fiscal emergencies if Legislature fails
to act. Requires performance reviews of all state programs. Requires
performance goals in state and local budgets. Requires publication of all bills
at least three days prior to legislative vote. Gives counties power to alter
state statutes or regulations related to spending unless Legislature or state
agency vetoes changes within 60 days. Summary of estimate by Legislative
Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government:
Decreased state revenues and commensurate increased
local revenues, probably in the range of about $200 million annually, beginning
in 2013-14. Potential decreased state program costs or increased state revenues
resulting from changes in the fiscal authority of the Legislature and Governor.
Increased state and local costs of tens of millions of dollars annually to
implement new budgeting practices. Over time, these costs would moderate and
potentially be offset by savings from improved program efficiencies. (11-0068)
Republicans pushed for years to take
redistricting out of the hands of the legislature. When it finally happened, they didn’t like
the results but only filed this anti-redistricting initiative to undo new
districts for the state senate (leaving out assembly and congressional new
districts).
Redistricting.
State Senate Districts. Referendum.
Summary Date: 08/26/11 | Qualified:
02/24/12 | Signatures
Required: 504,760
Proponent:
Julie Vandermost c/o Charles H. Bell, Jr. (916) 442-7757
State
Senate districts are revised every ten years following the federal census. This
year, the voter-approved California Citizens Redistricting Commission revised
the boundaries of the 40 Senate districts. This referendum petition, if signed
by the required number of registered voters and filed with the Secretary of
State, will: (1) Place the revised State Senate boundaries on the ballot and
prevent them from taking effect unless approved by the voters at the next
statewide election; and (2) Require court-appointed officials to set interim
boundaries for use in the next statewide election. (11-0028)
