California Proposition 6, also known as the Safe Neighborhoods Act and The Runner Initiative, is a statutory initiative that appeared on the November 2008 ballot in California. This proposition was rejected by voters on November 4 of that year.
Proposition 6 would have placed additional penalties on gang related and drug crime.
Provisions of Prop 6
Proposition 6 would:
Require new state spending on various criminal justice programs, as well as for increased costs for prison and parole operations. This funding is equivalent to 0.3% of California's General Fund.
Authorize prosecution as an adult (rather than in juvenile court, if a juvenile court judge consents) of any youth 14 years old or older who has been convicted of a gang-related felony.
Require that all occupants who are recipients of public housing subsidies submit to annual criminal background checks and lose housing if convicted of a recent crime in order to free up housing for non-criminals.
Increase penalties for several crimes, including violating gang injunctions, using or possessing to sell methamphetamine, or carrying loaded or concealed firearms by certain felons.
Proposition 8: Gay Marriage Ban
Proposition 6: Police and Law Enforcement Funding
Although overshadowed by the presidential race, Californians will be asked to vote on 12 propositions in November, 2008. These initiatives, placed on the ballot by either the California state legislature or by California citizens, represent critical state policy choices for Californian voters.
Among these hotly contested issues are Proposition 8, which seeks to reverse the California Supreme Court's recent legalization of gay marriage, Proposition 4, which would require parental notification for any abortion performed on a minor, and Proposition 11, which would change the way in which California congressional and legislative district boundaries are drawn.
