What SCA 3 does, verified June 1, 2026

This proposed constitutional amendment aims to change the process of proposing and presenting initiatives and referendums to the voters in California. The amendment would transfer the responsibility of preparing the title and summary for proposed initiatives and referendums from the attorney general to the legislative analyst. This change would also require the legislative analyst to prepare the ballot label and ballot title and summary for the state voter information guide for each measure that appears on a statewide ballot.
