    CALIFORNIA INITIATIVES IN PERSPECTIVE 1966-2002 PREPARED BY JESSICA M. OLIVER SENIOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATE JULIA COX, RESEARCH ASSISTANT ANDREW LEE, RESEARCH ASSISTANT JUSTIN LEVITT, RESEARCH ASSISTANT IKENNA NJEMANZE, RESEARCH ASSISTANT MICHAEL PEEL, RESEARCH ASSISTANT TYLER WHITE, RESEARCH ASSISTANT ANGELA ZHANG, RESEARCH ASSISTANT OCTOBER 2003 CALIFORNIA INITIATIVES IN PERSPECTIVE 1966-2002 OCTOBER 2003 INTRODUCTION In the 1966 primary election the voters of California overwhelming adopted the legislatively proposed constitutional revisions recommended in Proposition 1A. Among the changes effected by the passage of Proposition 1A was the transformation of the California legislature from a part-time, citizen legislature to full-time, professional legislature. The adoption of a full-time, professional legislature was a continuation of the Progressive revolution initiated by Governor Hiram Johnson over fifty years earlier. Among the direct democracy reforms introduced during Johnson’s tenure were the initiative, referendum, and recall. The following report is a documentation of the citizen-based initiatives that have appeared on the ballot since the adoption of the full-time legislature in 1966. We have attempted to trace all of the relationships between and among various initiatives as well as appropriate legislatively sponsored ballot propositions, subsequent legislative bills, court decisions, implementation practices, and other grass roots responses. Our emphasis has been on tracing the activity of the initiatives that passed, and have only traced failed initiatives insofar as they relate to other, successful initiatives. We gratefully acknowledge the use of resources available at the Initiative and Referendum Institute’s website, www.iandrinstitute.org, the official California ballot proposition data base at UC Hastings, www.uchastings.edu/library, and the research of Kenneth P.
