The Constitution of California specifies that if two conflicting measures both pass, the one with the most votes will go into effect where it conflicts with the one that receives the lesser number of votes, but that any provisions in the latter that don’t conflict with the winning proposition will still go into effect. Prop 30 provided that, if it passed with a greater number of votes, nothing in Prop 38 would go into effect. Because Proposition 38 failed, this provision was not enacted. Prop 38 provided that, if it passed with a greater number of votes, the tax-increase provisions of Prop 30 would not go into effect. Any provisions of Prop 30 not related to tax increases would still go into effect, such as the “trigger cuts” to expenditures.In Depth http://cavotes.org/vote/election/2012/november/6/ballot-measure/temporary-taxes-fund-education-guaranteed-local-public-safety-funding/more League of Women Voters of California Education Fund December 15, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121022100526/http://cavotes.org/vote/election/2012/november/6/ballot-measure/temporary-taxes-fund-education-guaranteed-local-public-safety-funding/more 2012-10-22 dead References External links Comparison of Proposition 30 and Proposition 38 Pro/Con Video by the League of Women Voters of California Education Fund and CalChannel California Law Politics Category:2012 in California Category:2012 California elections Category:2012 California ballot propositions
