State reserve fund ballot measure.

Existing law provides that each statewide ballot measure submitted to the voters be designated by a numeral, which shall be the designation by which the measure is identified on the ballot and in the state ballot pamphlet. Under existing law, beginning with the November 3, 1998, statewide general election, all statewide ballot measures are numbered in a continuous sequence, commencing with the number "1" and continuing in numerical sequence for a period of 10 years, after which the numbering sequence recommences with the number "1" at the next statewide election. Existing law permits the Legislature to propose to the voters amendments to the California Constitution. At the 2013–14 Second Extraordinary Session, the Legislature adopted Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1, which proposes a constitutional amendment relating to the establishment of state reserve funds in the State Treasury. Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1 is scheduled to be submitted to the voters at the November 4, 2014, statewide general election. This bill would provide that, notwithstanding the requirements described above regarding the numbering of statewide ballot measures, Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1 of the 2013–14 Second Extraordinary Session shall be designated as "Proposition 2" for purposes of the ballot, the sample ballot, the state ballot pamphlet, and the local voter's pamphlet, and shall be placed as the 2nd ballot measure on the November 4, 2014, statewide general election ballot. The bill would further direct that any reference in the state ballot pamphlet or in a candidate's statement to "Proposition 44" shall be changed to "Proposition 2" prior to final publication of the state ballot pamphlet or the voter's pamphlet that contains the candidate's statement. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
