Proposition 2 is a California ballot measure currently scheduled for voting on November 3, 2026. It would allow the state to deposit up to 20% of its general fund tax revenue into its rainy day fund each year, instead of the current 10%. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the specified ballot measure is approved by a majority of voters at the California statewide general election currently scheduled for November 3, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” If voting on the specified ballot measure does not occur, or the results thereof are not known definitively, by March 31, 2027, this market will resolve to “No”. This market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official information from the State of California, including the California Secretary of State (https://www.sos.ca.gov/).**California Proposition 2, the legislatively referred constitutional amendment known as the Save for California’s Future Act, would raise the cap on the Budget Stabilization Account (the state’s primary rainy day fund) from 10% to 20% of General Fund tax revenues, require larger deposits during high capital-gains years, extend mandatory debt-reduction rules through 2039-40, expand eligible liabilities to include federal unemployment insurance loans, and adjust treatment under the Gann spending limit.** The measure advanced with strong Democratic legislative majorities in late June 2026 and appears on the November 3, 2026 ballot. It was negotiated as part of the 2026-27 budget process amid ongoing revenue volatility and prior reserve drawdowns. Trader consensus at roughly 69% Yes reflects broad Democratic backing and the fiscal-stability framing advanced by Governor Newsom and legislative leaders, tempered by Republican concerns over potential spending-limit changes and limited organized opposition. No significant new developments have shifted positioning since the measure qualified.
