Check this record
Requires all taxes to comply with the state’s voter-approved spending limit—including its requirement that excess revenues get refunded to taxpayers.
Every vetted record has a fingerprint that two keys signed and a timestamp authority stamped. The signed record, the keys and the receipts are in a public log, so you can check the signed copy there without relying on this site, and then check that this page shows that copy.

Judgments behind this record
Verdict on the claim
Call: Missing context
The Attorney General's summary says the measure prohibits any new state taxes that exclude their revenues from the spending limit. The Analyst says the limit applies to both General Fund and special taxes but some spending, such as infrastructure, is excluded, and that under Proposition 41 the state "might not be able to exclude new special tax spending" from the limit. The measure applies to new taxes, not all taxes, and the Analyst does not discuss refund requirements.

Copy the public log and run its script. It reads only the public log: the signed copy of this record, the judgments behind it, the keys and the receipts. It recomputes each fingerprint and checks the proof, both signatures and the timestamps. It checks the signed copy in the log, not the text on this page:
git clone https://github.com/Macpire/ideology-integrity-log
cd ideology-integrity-log
npx tsx integrity/verify-record.ts --log ca-2026 ca-prop-41-claim-2 --repo .To check that the text this site serves is that signed copy, add the site's address. Only this check ties the log to what you read here:
