LIMITED RESEARCH RELEASE · NOVEMBER 3, 2026

Your review checklist.

All 14 assessments are available. Each is awaiting human editorial review. This page is a reading checklist; it does not record approvals or certify completion.

Human review pending · 14 of 14Check law, attribution, fiscal assumptions, affected groups, and campaign-finance coverage before describing an assessment as reviewed.
  1. Compare the official title, proposed-law introduction, identifier, and yes/no consequences.
  2. Check allocations, decision-makers, administration, waivers, transfers, legal-defense costs, and audit limits.
  3. Verify argument authors and distinguish endorsements, proponents, officers, and donors.
  4. Read campaign messages from both sides and assess whether emotional-appeal descriptions are fair.
  5. Check source dates, finance scope, related-measure conflicts, and all unresolved items.
Assessment and finance coverage · human review pending throughout
MeasureFinance coveragePriority review items
Proposition 1 · Housing affordability bonds ↗289 reconciled records · 98 donor profiles ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Historical loan transfer and bond provisions; final appropriations and recipient eligibility.
Proposition 2 · State rainy day fund ↗

The official search returned no usable contribution summary. Ballot Lens has not interpreted missing results as verified zero contributions.

  • Check historical spending-limit calculations and cash-flow use against the applicable budget records.
  • Review the Yes campaign website when accessible.
  • No reconciled Power Search dataset is available; the official Quick Guide snapshot reports $0 on both sides, which does not prove absence of political spending.
Proposition 3 · Permanent high-income tax ↗80 reconciled records · 39 donor profiles ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Review historical-code workload-budget definitions and the conditional health-care allocation calculation.
  • One disclosed donor registration was malformed; its contribution remains reported, without inferred identity enrichment.
Proposition 4 · Public campaign financing ↗1 reconciled record · 1 donor profile ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Review amendment provisions and the enforcement arrangements in any future state or local program.
  • Power Search and the adjusted Quick Guide have different coverage; do not treat their totals as interchangeable.
Proposition 5 · Recall election process ↗

The official search returned no usable contribution summary. Ballot Lens has not interpreted missing results as verified zero contributions.

  • Check vacancy rules for each covered office and the Governor’s special-election timing.
  • No reconciled Power Search dataset is available; the Quick Guide snapshot’s $0 totals do not establish that no campaign activity occurred.
Proposition 37 · Middle-income homebuyer loans ↗270 reconciled records · 11 donor profiles ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Review loan pricing, default exposure, agency financing covenants, and construction-defect remedies in detail.
Proposition 38 · Immunology research bonds ↗26 reconciled records · 7 donor profiles ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Verify which institute meets the selection criteria and any statutory fallback selection before identifying the beneficiary by name.
  • Review conflict exceptions, grant overhead, and discovery-revenue contracts.
Proposition 39 · Voter identification and citizenship checks ↗

The official search exceeds its 1,000-row result limit. Ballot Lens has not published a partial donor list as a complete dataset. A bulk receipts integration is needed for full coverage.

  • Power Search results exceed its 1,000-row limit. Full donor profiles are unavailable until a bulk receipts integration is implemented; no partial dataset is presented as complete.
  • Review accepted identification, correction procedures, privacy safeguards, and effective implementation rules.
Proposition 40 · One-time tax on billionaire wealth ↗220 reconciled records · 98 donor profiles ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Historical borrowing-code exceptions, revenue forecasts, and conditional conflicts with Propositions 41 and 42.
Proposition 41 · Special-tax audits and spending limits ↗35 reconciled records · 16 donor profiles ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Review spending-limit interactions with Proposition 40 and any litigation.
  • Shared committees oppose more than one measure; amounts cannot be added to infer unique spending.
Proposition 42 · Personal property and retroactive tax limits ↗35 reconciled records · 14 donor profiles ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Review emergency exceptions, the scope of indirect ownership taxes, and any Proposition 40 litigation.
  • Shared committee receipts are not unique dollars across measures.
Proposition 43 · Local special-tax approval ↗597 reconciled records · 540 donor profiles ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Review the preserved constitutional exceptions and treatment of specific local tax proposals.
Proposition 44 · Community health clinic spending ↗297 reconciled records · 150 donor profiles ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Review expense reclassification, waiver decisions, penalty accounts, and the corporate-law consequences in detail.
  • No actual diversion or improper clinic expenditure has been established by this assessment.
Proposition 45 · Environmental review procedures ↗314 reconciled records · 196 donor profiles ↗

Through Oct 9, 2026; original filings and expenditures unverified.

  • Review eligibility definitions, tribal consultation, evidentiary restrictions, and remedies for specific project categories.
