DescriptionBallot title: Imposes new two-thirds voter approval requirement for local public electricity providers. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.

Official summary: Requires two-thirds voter approval before local governments provide electricity service to new customers or establish a community choice electricity program using public funds or bonds.

Estimated fiscal impact: Unknown net impact on state and local government costs and revenues—unlikely to be significant in the short run—due to the measure’s uncertain effects on public electricity providers and on electricity rates.
