California voters have decisively approved Proposition 36, which toughens sentencing laws for repeat offenders, and rejected Proposition 33 aimed at expanding rent control statewide.
With Prop 36 passing by a staggering 70%-30% margin, the measure shifts the legal landscape back toward harsher penalties, particularly for repeat offenders of drug and theft crimes.
The defeat of Prop 33 at 62%-38% ensures that the existing rent control measures remain intact, notably preventing any changes to the Costa-Hawkins Act from 1995.
Californians showed overwhelming support for Proposition 3, repealing outdated discriminatory language from the constitution, thereby affirming marriage rights for all individuals, irrespective of gender or race.
