AI-generated plain-language summary

This measure would have prohibited the state of California from using private contractors for architectural, landscape architectural, engineering, and land surveying services, requiring these services to be performed only by state employees. The measure would have amended the state constitution to mandate that all design and engineering work for state projects be conducted in-house rather than outsourced to private firms.
