These are the 10 statewide measures that will appear on Californians' November ballot
Increasing drug and theft punishments
A coalition led by district attorneys gathered enough signatures to place a measure on the ballot to roll back parts of California’s landmark 2014 sentencing law.
Cutting Prop. 8 from the California Constitution
California’s Prop. 8, a ban on same-sex marriage, was ruled unconstitutional in 2015 and the Supreme Court went on to legalize same-sex marriage.
Lowering the threshold for local government taxes
This measure would lower that threshold to 55 percent – still higher than a simple majority, but lower than the current requirement.
A minimum wage hike
This measure would eventually raise the state’s minimum wage to $18 an hour.
Climate bond
A massive climate bond package would bring in $3.8 billion for water needs, $1.5 billion for forest health and combating wildfires, $1.2 billion for efforts to combat sea-level rise and about $850 million for clean energy projects.
School facilities bond
This time, it comes in the form of a $10 billion bond that would fund repairs and construction for K-12 schools and California community colleges.
Stifling one prolific ballot measure proponent
After years of battling rent control initiatives funded by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, California landlords have placed a measure on the ballot designed to stifle that organization from running any more measures.
Allowing cities to enact rent control measures
This measure would repeal a longtime state law that blocks local governments from setting rent limits on homes built after 1995, or any single-family homes.
Ending forced prison labor
The California Constitution prohibits slavery, with one exception: as a punishment to a crime. ACA8 would remove that exception, and would prohibit the state agency that oversees prisons from disciplining incarcerated individuals who refuse a work assignment.
MCO tax
This measure would require that the money be used for Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance program for low-income people, in an effort to ensure it continues to go to doctors and hospitals instead of other areas of the budget.
