    Authorizes $4 billion in general obligation bonds for existing affordable housing programs for low-income residents, veterans, farmworkers, manufactured and mobile homes, infill, and transit-oriented housing.

    Fail: 5,879,836 / 49.3% Yes votes ...... 6,034,991 / 50.7% No votes

    Fail: 4,949,543 / 40.6% Yes votes ...... 7,251,443 / 59.4% No votes
    Repeals state law that currently restricts the scope of rent-control policies that cities and other local jurisdictions may impose on residential property. Fiscal Impact: Potential net reduction in state and local revenues of tens of millions of dollars per year in the long term. Depending on actions by local communities, revenue losses could be less or considerably more.

    Pass: 7,181,116 / 59.6% Yes votes ...... 4,861,831 / 40.4% No votes
    Law entitling hourly employees to breaks without being on-call would not apply to private-sector ambulance employees. Fiscal Impact: Likely fiscal benefit to local governments (in the form of lower costs and higher revenues), potentially in the tens of millions of dollars each year.

    Pass: 7,551,434 / 62.7% Yes votes ...... 4,499,702 / 37.3% No votes
