Elections: ballot measures.

Existing law requires that a constitutional amendment, bond measure, or other legislative measure submitted to the people by the Legislature appear on the ballot of the first statewide election occurring at least 131 days after the adoption of the proposal by the Legislature. Existing law requires that the Secretary of State mail state voter information guides, which contain information regarding ballot measures, to voters within a specified time period prior to the election. This bill would call a special election to be consolidated with the statewide general election scheduled for November 3, 2020. Notwithstanding the 131-day ballot qualification deadline and other related provisions regarding ballot measures, the bill would require the Secretary of State to submit Assembly Constitutional Amendments 4, 5, 6, 11, and 25, if passed by the Legislature on or before July 1, 2020, to the voters for their approval at the November 3, 2020, statewide general election. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an act calling an election.
