Schools and Taxpayers Are Getting Cheated

California maintains voter-approved protections for state funds:

  • Proposition 98 – Guarantees schools get their fair share of revenue
  • Proposition 4 – Limits government spending and returns excess tax revenue to voters

     

But special interest groups have found loopholes to bypass these protections, diverting billions away from classrooms and taxpayers’ wallets.

Close the Loopholes. Protect Our Priorities.

The Protect Schools and Taxpayers Act of 2026 ensures that all future taxes must follow voter-approved protections for school funding and state spending limits.

No exceptions. No carve-outs. No special deals.

  • Schools get their guaranteed share
  • Taxpayers get refunds when the state over-collects
  • Special interests can't game the system

Simple. Fair. Voter-Approved.

Starting January 1, 2026, any new state revenue must comply with Proposition 98 and Proposition 4. If it doesn’t, it can’t be collected.

This doesn’t raise taxes. It simply ensures any new tax revenue is protected for schools and taxpayers.
