California voters decide eleven statewide propositions SACRAMENTO - California voters had to make choices on many races Tuesday. On every ballot in the state were 11 propositions, including a repeal of the gas tax, ending daylight saving time and rent control on residential properties.
Six of the measures are headed toward approval. Proposition 5: Property taxes Summary: Removes certain transfer requirements for homeowners over 55, severely disabled homeowners, and contaminated or disaster-destroyed property. How it stands: The measure looks like it is heading toward defeat Proposition 6: Gas tax Summary: Repeals a 2017 transportation law’s taxes and fees designated for road repairs and public transportation. How it stands: The repeal likely won’t happen, as 55.3 percent are in favor of keeping the tax. Proposition 7: Daylight Saving Time Summary: Gives Legislature ability to change daylight saving time period by two-thirds vote, if changes are consistent with federal law. How it stands: Changing the clock twice a year could become a thing of the past in California, as 61.7 percent of voters have voted yes. 8: Dialysis clinics Summary: Requires rebates and penalties if charges exceed limit. Requires annual reporting to the state. Prohibits clinics from refusing to treat patients based on payment source. How it stands: The measure is on its way to failure, with 61.8 percent voting no. Note: There was no Proposition 9. The Three Californias plan that the California Supreme Court ruled in August to keep off the ballot. 10: Rent control Summary: Repeals state law that currently restricts the scope of rent control policies that cities and other local jurisdictions may impose on residential property. How it stands: Defeat seems certain, as 64.3 percent of voters are against it. 12: Farm animals Summary: Establishes minimum requirements for confining certain farm animals. Prohibits sales of meat and egg products from animals confined in noncomplying manner. How it stands: This proposition has 59.4 percent of voters in favor of it. Story Date: November 14, 2018
