Prop. 43 looks to raise the approval threshold to a supermajority of 66%, bringing it in line with government-introduced tax increases.
Prop. 43 supporters, including the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and California Taxpayers Association, said the measure builds on the landmark Prop. 13.
Supporters claim court rulings created a "loophole" that allowed local tax increases to pass by a simple majority if a community initiative introduced the proposal.
Critics of Prop. 43, including California Professional Firefighters, California Federation of Teachers and Nurse Alliance of SEIU CA, said the measure would make it harder for cities and counties to provide critical services.
Critics of the measure also argue that Prop 43 would "make it easier for corporate special interests to avoid paying their fair share" and harm critical public services.
They added that the measure would allow a minority of voters to overrule the majority's decision to fund infrastructure repairs, schools and healthcare.
"It empowers just over one-third of voters to block what nearly 67% want. It puts the out-voted minority in charge — even if they are extremists," critics wrote in their voter guide statement.
