2006 California Proposition 90

Failed referendum on government impacts to property February 2026 July 2021 California Proposition 90 was a 2006 ballot initiative in the state of California, United States. Passing of the initiative would have made two changes to California law: Eminent domain could not be used by government except to provide facilities for public use, to abate specific public nuisances, and to act in a declared state of emergency. (This was a reaction to the Supreme Court's decision in Kelo v. City of New London.) Government would be required to reimburse property owners whose property value is decreased as a result of any government regulation or action. The measure was defeated by a vote of 47.6% in favor and 52.4% opposed.California Secretary of State 2006 Election returns https://web.archive.org/web/20071220203742/http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/sov/2006_general/contents.htm# 2007-12-20 In the June 2008 election, the more narrowly defined Proposition 99 was passed.
