    Authorizes $4 billion in general obligation bonds for existing affordable housing programs for low-income residents, veterans, farmworkers, manufactured and mobile homes, infill, and transit-oriented housing.

Ratifies existing law establishing the No Place Like Home Program. Fiscal Impact: Allows the state to use up to $140 million per year of county mental health funds to repay up to $2 billion in bonds. These bonds would fund housing for those with mental illness who are homeless.

    Proposition 3 Authorizes Bonds To Fund Projects for Water Supply and Quality, Watershed, Fish, Wildlife, Water Conveyance, and Groundwater Sustainability and Storage
    Fail: 5,879,836 / 49.3% Yes votes ...... 6,034,991 / 50.7% No votes
    Authorizes $8.877 billion in state general obligation bonds for various infrastructure projects. Fiscal Impact: Increased state costs to repay bonds averaging $430 million per year over 40 years.

    Fail: 4,813,251 / 40.2% Yes votes ...... 7,152,993 / 59.8% No votes
    Removes certain transfer requirements for homeowners over 55, severely disabled homeowners, and contaminated or disaster-destroyed property. Fiscal Impact: Schools and local governments each would lose over $100 million in annual property taxes early on, growing to about $1 billion per year. Similar increase in state costs to backfill school property tax losses.

    Fail: 5,283,222 / 43.2% Yes votes ...... 6,952,081 / 56.8% No votes
    Repeals a 2017 transportation law's taxes and fees designated for road repairs and public transportation.

    Proposition 7 Confirms California Daylight Saving Time to Federal Law. Allows Legislature to Change Daylight Saving Time Period
    Pass: 7,167,315 / 59.7% Yes votes ...... 4,828,564 / 40.3% No votes
    Gives Legislature ability to change daylight saving time period by two-thirds vote, if changes are consistent with federal law.

    Fail: 4,949,543 / 40.6% Yes votes ...... 7,251,443 / 59.4% No votes
    Repeals state law that currently restricts the scope of rent-control policies that cities and other local jurisdictions may impose on residential property. Fiscal Impact: Potential net reduction in state and local revenues of tens of millions of dollars per year in the long term. Depending on actions by local communities, revenue losses could be less or considerably more.

    Proposition 11 Requires Private-Sector Emergency Ambulance Employees to Remain On-Call During Work Breaks. Eliminates Certain Employer Liability
    Pass: 7,181,116 / 59.6% Yes votes ...... 4,861,831 / 40.4% No votes
    Law entitling hourly employees to breaks without being on-call would not apply to private-sector ambulance employees. Fiscal Impact: Likely fiscal benefit to local governments (in the form of lower costs and higher revenues), potentially in the tens of millions of dollars each year.

    Proposition 12 Establishes New Standards For Confinement of Specified Farm Animals; Bans Sale of Noncomplying Products
    Pass: 7,551,434 / 62.7% Yes votes ...... 4,499,702 / 37.3% No votes
