Proposition 13 – Californians for Safe Schools and Healthy Learning
The Public Preschool, K-12 and College Health and Safety Bond Act of 2020
We are asking our CASH members to begin educating California voters on the importance of passing the 2020 State School Bond, Proposition 13 on the March 3, 2020 Primary Election Ballot. Due to the holidays, we only have about 100 days until voters receive their absentee ballots.
AB 48 + Proposition 13
In accordance with state guidelines, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla has announced the official numbers for propositions qualified for the March 3, 2020, Presidential Primary Election. The bond bill–AB 48 (O’Donnell)—has been officially designated as Proposition 13.
The next step is for the Attorney General to publish the official ballot label by November 1, 2019.
Questions may arise as to why the State is “re-using” such a prominent proposition number. In 1998, ballot measures were restarted at “1,” and since then have been reset every 10 years. As such, AB 48 was assigned the number 13 because it was the next number available.

The proposed State Budget for 2018-19 was released on January 10 at 10:00 a.m. The following is the statement that relates to school facilities in the proposed 2018-19 State Budget (Page 30):
“Since 1998, voters have approved approximately $44 billion in statewide general obligation bonds to construct or renovate public school classrooms used by the state’s roughly six million K-12 students. Associated General Fund debt services costs are over $2 billion annually. In addition to general obligation bonds, school districts may use developer fees, local bonds, certificates of participation, and Mello Roos bonds to construct additional classrooms or renovate existing classrooms.
