Abstract
Abstract: In 1996, California voters adopted Proposition 209, which amended the state constitution. Its operative clause states: “The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.” In 2020, the California Assembly’s Committee on Appropriations considered ACA-5, a bill that, if passed and approved by the voters, will repeal Proposition 209. The Appropriations Committee has jurisdiction over only the effects of the bill on state finances. Testimony was thus limited to that issue. Professor Heriot’s testimony discusses those effects, which she believes will be very extensive, particularly in the area of public contracting.
