This is from the L.A. times summary of Proposition 6:
Increase the annual state funding of state and local criminal justice programs by $365 million to $965 million, adjusting for inflation. It also would boost penalties for gang activity and other crimes and assign the state to pay for satellite tracking of sex offenders and other former state prison inmates.
The sex-offender related portion of the Proposition was created because the state foolishly pretended lifetime, real-time GPS monitoring of sex offenders would be paid for by the offenders themselves. Now that Proposition 6 has overwhelmingly failed, it is unclear how the GPS monitoring plan will be implemented in the state.
