Check this record
Prop. 43 closes these loopholes and restores the two-thirds vote requirement to pass local special taxes.
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: Supported
The Analyst says local special taxes currently need a two-thirds vote, that recent court decisions have allowed special taxes proposed by voters to pass by majority, and that beginning January 1, 2027 Proposition 43 would require two-thirds for any new, increased, or extended local special taxes proposed by voters. "Loopholes" is a characterization.

Check it yourself
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-43-claim-1 --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:
