A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by adding Section 8 to Article X thereof, relating to water.

Existing provisions of the Water Code provide for the protection of designated areas within which water originates or related areas, including the "area of origin," "county of origin," "watershed protection," and "Delta protection" statutes. This measure would prohibit the Legislature from amending, repealing, or changing the scope or effect of any of those provisions unless the bill is passed in each house by a 23 vote of the membership of each house.
