In Depth is published by the League of Women Voters of California Education Fund as part of its voter service efforts. The provision, background and fiscal effect sections by the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) were the basis of research. The LAO has been providing fiscal and policy advice to the Legislature for more than 55 years. It is known for its fiscal and programmatic expertise and nonpartisan analyses of the state's budget. The League writers have clarified and included additional research.

Pro and con arguments came from many sources including the California Official Voter Information Guide (ballot pamphlet), legislative hearing testimony, interviews, newspapers, magazines, and from the supporters and opponents. The League does not judge the merits of the arguments 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 voters service efforts. It has been researched by League members on the Election Materials Project 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.
