Summary of Legislative Analyst's
Estimate of Net State and Local Government Fiscal Impact:
- If the voters approve Proposition 30, this proposition would slightly reduce the fiscal impact that Proposition 30 would have on state revenues and have an unknown impact on state court costs.
- If the voters disapprove Proposition 30, this measure would have no fiscal impact on state and local governments.
