Government Reform
Reforms to California’s government are being proposed by legislators, citizens, and a number of political groups. Changes to the budgeting process, term limits, the initiative process, and revenue policies are among the ideas being considered. Most reforms would require an amendment to the Constitution. A number of groups are proposing constitutional reform through a constitutional convention or packages of reform measures through the initiative process.
