Existing law prohibits the sale, and the offering for sale, of new appliances unless their manufacturers certify that they comply with the standards in effect at the time the appliances are manufactured.

California Proposition 3, Renew State Income Tax Increase for Education Funding Initiative (#25-0016) is on the ballot in California as an initiated constitutional amendment on November 3, 2026.

How would the measure change state law in relation to public funding of campaigns?
By reversing the decision of the votes in 1988, state and local governments could establish programs for the public funding of election campaigns. Charter cities can currently use public funds for this program. Charter cities include Berkeley, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco.
The measure would amend provisions of the Political Reform Act, which were adopted after approval of Proposition 73. The measure would repeal the prohibition on public officers and candidates from expending or accepting public funds for campaign purposes. The measure requires the state and local governments to develop expenditure limits and criteria for candidates to qualify for public funds for election campaigns. It would prohibit the public funds from being used for legal defense fees, fines, or to repay a personal loan to their campaign.
The measure authorizes the state legislature to amend the provisions of the law related to the public funding of campaigns without voter approval but requires voter approval on all other provisions of the law.
