Analyst completed the provision, background and fiscal effect sections.
The League contacted the major proponents and opponents for the

nor guarantee their validity.
The material contained in this In Depth has been prepared
to assist members of the League of Women Voters of California in
their Voter Service efforts. It has been researched by League members
on the Election Materials Writing Team and read for accuracy and
neutrality by members of the League of Women Voters of California
state board and experienced League members.
For more information on the measures from many nonpartisan sources,
see the League's Smart Voter website, Directory
of California State Ballot Measures.
Pro and con
arguments came from many sources including the California
Voter Information Guide and Ballot Pamphlet, legislative
hearing testimony, interviews, newspapers (many
of the articles were found on the California
Voter Foundation website), magazines, and from the supporters
and opposition.
