Robert Denham was the measure's official proponent.
The proposed initiative would have amended the California Constitution so that, in the future, the California State Legislature could pass a budget by a 60% supermajority vote rather than the current 66.67% supermajority requirement.
The California Secretary of State announced on January 11, 2010 that 09-0016 had failed.
