Answer:

Proposition 25, also known as the California State Budget Act, was a 2010 ballot measure in California that aimed to change the state's budget and legislative process. It established a simple majority vote requirement in the California Legislature to pass the budget, including tax bills. Prior to Proposition 25, the state had a two-thirds supermajority requirement for passing budgets and tax bills, which often led to budget impasses and gridlock. With the passage of Proposition 25, only a simple majority vote of 50% plus one is needed in both houses of the California Legislature to pass a tax bill as part of the state budget, making it easier to approve budget-related measures and avoid protracted legislative standoffs.
