AI-generated plain-language summary

This measure would have changed California's budget process to require a two-thirds legislative vote to increase welfare spending above 1991-92 levels, while allowing budget passage by majority vote instead of the current two-thirds requirement. It also would have established procedural changes including legislative hearings on welfare programs and creation of a state welfare oversight board.
