ACA 13 is a proposed state constitutional amendment that will significantly weaken the ability of California’s voters to seek change through the initiative process by imposing a higher percentage of votes needed to approve citizen-led initiatives to amend the state constitution.

 

ACA 13 seeks to undermine Proposition 13’s tax protections by opening the door to reducing the current two-thirds vote requirement for local governments to impose taxes. Weakening Proposition 13 would lead to unfair tax increases, making homeownership even less affordable and attainable.
