A California Education Tax Relief Act (09-0046) did not qualify for the November 2, 2010, ballot in California as an initiated constitutional amendment.
On October 1, 2009, Lee W. Olson filed a request with the Office of the California Attorney General for an official ballot title on an act that he called the "California Education Tax Relief Act."
The attorney general's office had provided that title, so the measure was cleared for circulation with a circulation deadline of April 23, 2010. The "California Education Tax Relief Act," however, never reached the ballot.
