Should the California Constitution be amended to require government to pay property owners for substantial economic losses resulting from some new laws and rules, and limit government authority to take ownership of private property?

Put on the Ballot by Petition Signatures
Increased annual government costs to pay property owners for losses to their property associated with new laws and rules, and for property acquisitions. These costs are unknown, but potentially significant on a statewide basis.
- A YES vote on this measure means:
- State and local
governments would have
significantly increased
requirements to compensate
property owners for
economic losses to their
property resulting from
new laws or rules. Also,
government would be more
restricted in taking private
property for public uses.
- A NO vote on this measure means:
- There would be no
changes in the requirements
on government for: (1)
paying for economic losses
to property resulting from
new laws and rules and
(2) taking private property
for public purposes.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 90:
- Proposition 90 stops eminent
domain abuse and protects
the American Dream--the
fundamental right of every
American to own a home. It
prevents government from
taking your home or property
without your permission and
turning it over to powerful
developers who want to
build strip malls or other
commercial projects.

- Summary of Arguments AGAINST Proposition 90:
- Prop. 90 is a deceptive
and costly taxpayer trap. It

of lawsuits costing taxpayers
billions of dollars every
year. It is anti-taxpayer
and anti-homeowner. Join
taxpayers, homeowners
groups, conservationists,
police, firefighters, and
businesses. Vote NO on 90.
