2018 California Proposition 72 Explained

Proposition 72, also known as Prop 72, was a California ballot proposition and proposed state constitution amendment intended to exclude rainwater capture systems completed on or after January 1, 2019 from property tax assessments.

There was no opposing argument ever submitted to the Secretary of State.[1] Save California Water ran the campaign supporting Prop 72.[2] The amendment was sponsored by Senator Steve Glazer in the California State Legislature.[3] The California Democratic Party supported the amendment.[4] Other supports of the amendment include League of California Cities, Save the Bay, Planning and Conservation League, Trout Unlimited,[5] and Rural County Representatives of California.[6]
