Sunday, Nov. 8
12:34 p.m.
Proposition 14:
Voters approved a measure Tuesday in support of the state’s stem cell research institute,52.41% % to 47.59%.
Proposition 14 will now call for $5.5 billion in general obligation bonds for the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, which was created to fund stem cell research.
In 2004, voters approved Proposition 71, which created CIRM and issued $3 billion in bonds to finance CIRM, establishing a state constitutional right to conduct stem cell research.
The ballot initiative would require CIRM to spend no more than 7.5% of the bond funds on operation costs.
The remaining bond funds would be allocated on grants to entities that conduct research, trials and programs related to stem cells, as well as start-up costs for facilities.
Nearly $1.5 billion would be directed to therapies and treatments for brain and nervous system diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and dementia.
Proposition 15:
Voters supported a measure in support of the California State Constitution to require commercial and industrial properties, except those zoned as commercial agriculture, to be taxed based on their market value, 53.03% to 46.97%.
Proposition 15 will now required businesses to be taxed based on their market value.
In 1978, Californians approved Proposition 13, which required that residential, commercial and industrial properties are taxed based on their purchase price.
The tax is limited to no more than 1% of the purchase price at the time of purchase, with an annual adjustment equal to the rate of inflation or 2%.
Proposition 19:
Voters rejected a measure to allow homeowners over the age of 55 or those with severe disabilities the ability to transfer their tax assessments of the property to another property of equal or more value, 50.17 % to 49.83 %.
In California, eligible homeowners can transfer their tax assessments to a different home of the same or lesser market value, which allows them to move without paying higher taxes.
The measure would eliminate the parent-to-child and grandparent-to-grandchild exemption in cases where the child or grandchild uses the property as a rental property or second home, rather than a primary residence.
The ballot measure would have created the California Fire Response Fund and County Revenue Protection Fund. It would also require the California Director of Finance to calculate additional revenues and net savings resulting from the ballot measure.

Proposition 18:
Voters rejected a measure Tuesday to allow 17-year-olds who will be 18 at the time of the next general election to be able to vote in primary elections and special elections, 55.5% to 45.5 %.

Voters rejected a measure Tuesday to change the legislative vote requirement, from two-thirds to a simple majority, necessary to pass the state budget and any spending bills related to the budget, with 55.4% of the vote.
Proposition 25 would have required all members of the legislature to permanently forfeit any salary or expense reimbursement for each day until the day it passes a budget bill if failing to pass a budget bill by June 15.

10:22 a.m.
Proposition 16:
Voters rejected a measure Tuesday to repeal Proposition 209’s Affirmative Action Amendment, 56.1% to 43.9%.

With the removal of Proposition 209, state government, local governments, public universities and other political subdivisions will be allowed to develop and use affirmative action programs that grant preferences based on race, sex, color, ethnicity and national origin in public employment, public education and public contracting.
On Nov. 5, 1996, Proposition 209 received 54.55% of the vote, making California the first state to adopt a constitutional ban on race-based and sex-based affirmative action.
