位于美国西海岸的加利福尼亚州选民在11月5日大选中通过了4号提案,授权州政府发行100亿美元一般责任债券,用于安全饮用水、野火预防以及保护社区与自然土地免受气候风险影响。
加州州务卿办公室发布的《选票声明》补充册显示,4号提案获得赞成票9,055,116张、占59.8%,反对票6,086,414张、占40.2%。该提案由州议会以 SB 867 法案提交选民表决,该法案在参议院以33票对6票、众议院以66票对6票通过后列入选票。
按州务卿办公室随官方选民指南公布的立法分析师估算,发行100亿美元债券后,州政府预计在40年间每年偿还约4亿美元。提案要求对债券资金的使用进行年度审计。

California Proposition 4 Passes With 59.8 Percent Yes Vote, Authorizing $10 Billion Climate Bond
Voters in California, on the U.S. West Coast, approved Proposition 4 in the November 5 general election, authorizing $10 billion in state general obligation bonds for safe drinking water, wildfire prevention, and protecting communities and natural lands from climate risks.
The supplement to the Statement of Vote published by the California Secretary of State shows Proposition 4 receiving 9,055,116 yes votes, or 59.8 percent, against 6,086,414 no votes, or 40.2 percent. The measure was placed on the ballot by the Legislature through Senate Bill 867, which passed the Senate 33 to 6 and the Assembly 66 to 6.
According to the Legislative Analyst's estimate published with the official voter guide, repaying the $10 billion in bonds is expected to cost the state about $400 million a year for 40 years. The proposition requires annual audits of the bond funds.
Proposition 4 was one of ten statewide measures on California's November 5, 2024 ballot, alongside Proposition 36, which increased penalties for certain drug and theft crimes and also passed. (Source: California Secretary of State)
