California Lawmakers to Introduce Resolutions to Repeal Prop 8

Andy Towle December 2, 2008

A press conference is being held at this hour to announce the introduction of resolutions to repeal Proposition 8 in the California legislature.

Ammiano_lenoFrom Equality California:

“On the second day of the new 2009-10 legislative session, lawmakers in both the Senate and Assembly will introduce resolutions that support the repeal of Proposition 8. Senator Mark Leno, D-San Francisco and Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, will introduce measures specify that Prop 8 is an improper revision of the California Constitution. Significant revisions to the Constitution mandate distinct procedures and require a two-thirds vote of each house of the Legislature before going to voters. Both resolutions are sponsored by Equality California and were drafted by EQCA and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, plaintiff and lead counsel, respectively, in the marriage case brought before the California Supreme Court…. Leno's Senate Resolution 7 and Ammiano's Assembly Resolution (number to be assigned) specify that significant revisions to the Constitution mandate distinct procedures and require a two-thirds vote of each house of the Legislature before going to voters. The resolutions are co-authored by Sen. Christine Kehoe and Assemblymember John A. Perez, both members of the LGBT Legislative Caucus, and Senate Pro Tem Speaker Darrell Steinberg.”
