Proposition 98
Proposition 98 would amend the state constitution by placing new limitations on state and local governments right to seize private property. The measure would also eliminate existing rent control in California and prohibit any new rent control measures from being enacted.
Proposition 99
Proposition 99 would eliminate the state and local government's power to seize property except in certain circumstances. The measure would prohibit the government from taking single-family homes for use by another private individual, business or association. The measure would also stop Proposition 98's provisions from going into law, if Proposition 99 is passed by more votes.
