Guide to California’s 14 ballot measures covering taxes, housing, health and elections

Voters in California face 14 propositions this November, ranging from fiscal policies to election reforms. Tax measures include a reserve-fund amendment, a permanent tax on incomes above $360,000, a one-time 5% levy on billionaire net worth, and two competing measures that would block the billionaire tax if approved. Housing proposals would let the state issue $11.25 billion in bonds for rental construction and create a $25 billion loan fund to assist middle-class homebuyers.

Additional measures propose $8.4 billion for immunology research, require health clinics to spend 90% of revenue on patient care, and modify the CEQA environmental review process. Election-related items seek public financing for campaigns, alter recall ballot structure, and tighten voter identification rules. Support and opposition come from a mix of unions, business groups, and political parties.
