BACKGROUND: As a Member of the California Legislature, Rep. Kiley proposed legislation to put a Prop. 47 repeal on the ballot, so that voters could evaluate the law a decade after its passage. The Public Safety Committee rejected that effort. With the current initiative campaign, California voters have an opportunity to qualify the measure for the ballot themselves, without the need for approval by the Legislature. 

Polling shows that the current initiative would pass with the support of 70 percent of California voters. The text of the initiative can be found here.

Please email Michael.Rauber@mail.house.gov by 5 p.m. PT on 2/2 to RSVP.
