Existing law requires a constitutional amendment submitted to the people by the Legislature to appear on the ballot of the first statewide election occurring at least 131 days after the adoption of the proposal. The Legislature enacted SCA 2 of the 2021–22 Regular Session, which, if approved by the voters, would repeal provisions of the California Constitution that prohibit the development, construction, or acquisition of a low-rent housing project, as defined, by any state public body unless the project is approved by a majority of the qualified electors in the jurisdiction in which the project is proposed. Pursuant to the existing law described above, SCA 2 is scheduled to appear on the ballot at the March 5, 2024, statewide primary election. This bill would call a special election to be consolidated with the statewide general election scheduled for November 5, 2024, and would require the submission of SCA 2 to the voters at that election. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an act calling an election.
