A California Initiative Bond Proposals Required to Specify Revenue Source Amendment did not qualify for the November 2, 2010 state ballot as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment.[1]

The proposed amendment was sponsored by Sam Blakeslee (R-San Luis Obispo). It would have required any bond proposal that gets on the ballot via petition and exceeds $1 billion to specify its funding source.[1]

Section 1 of Article XVIII of the California Constitution defines how to get on the ballot in the state as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. Two-thirds of the membership of each chamber of the California State Legislature must propose (vote in favor of) an amendment before the proposed amendment can go on a statewide ballot to be ratified or rejected by the state's voters.
