In California, a two-thirds vote is needed in each chamber of the California State Legislature to refer a constitutional amendment to the ballot for voter consideration.
The constitutional amendment was introduced into the California State Legislature as Senate Constitutional Amendment 6 (SCA 6) on June 27, 2019. On June 22, 2020, Sen. Bill Dodd, the amendment's lead legislative sponsor, requested that hearings on SCA 6 be canceled.[1] Sen. Dodd said, 'Given the deadlines for getting a measure on the November ballot and the impact of COVID-19 on the public’s ability to weigh in, we were not able to get the bill across the finish line this year. It remains important that we lift this widespread practice out of the shadows to make it safer and to generate money for the people of California. I will continue to be engaged in the issue as we work toward 2022.'[2]
