1.Most ballot initiatives in California require another ballot initiative to remove or amend them. Normally, the legislature can amend (or alter) the proposition with a 2/3 super majority. Read the following excerpt from Proposition 22, a 2020 ballot initiative that classified ride share drivers as independent contractors.

(a) After the effective date of this chapter, the Legislature may amend this chapter by a statute passed in each house of the Legislature by rollcall vote entered into the journal, seven-eighths of the membership concurring, provided that the statute is consistent with, and furthers the purpose of, this chapter. No bill seeking to amend this chapter after the effective date of this chapter may be passed or ultimately become a statute unless the bill has been printed and distributed to members, and published on the internet, in its final form, for at least 12 business days prior to its passage in either house of the Legislature.
