The California Billionaire Tax Act is officially on the November ballot. Late last month, California's Secretary of State certified the measure after proponents submitted well over double the required signatures. Backroom negotiations between Governor Newsom and the union backing the initiative, SEIU-UHW (i.e., United Healthcare Workers West), collapsed at the eleventh hour, and the measure is now headed to voters on November 3, 2026.
