Proposed Initiative Enters Circulation: Authorizes Bonds for Immunology Research. Initiative Statute. :: California Secretary of State Proposed Initiative Enters Circulation: Authorizes Bonds for Immunology Research.
Initiative Statute. Sacramento, Calif. – California Secretary of State Shirley N.
Weber, Ph. D. , announced that the proponent of a new initiative was cleared to begin collecting petition signatures on January 2, 2026.
The Attorney General prepares the legal title and summary that is required to appear on initiative petitions. When the official language is complete, the Attorney General forwards it to the proponent(s) and to the Secretary of State, and the initiative may be circulated for signatures. The Secretary of State then provides a calendar of deadlines to the proponent(s) and to county elections officials.
The Attorney General’s official title and summary for the measure is as follows: AUTHORIZES BONDS FOR IMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH. INITIATIVE STATUTE. Authorizes $8.
4 billion in state general obligation bonds for immunology and immunotherapy research (technologies that use body’s immune system to treat disease), allocated equally between (1) a University of California-affiliated nonprofit medical research institute selected by the California Department of Public Health based on specified criteria, and (2) a grant program for public or nonprofit universities and institutions.
Requires half of research money go to cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease research. Requires funding recipients to sell technology and drugs derived from research in California for 20% below national average price. Appropriates money from General Fund to repay bonds.
Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Increased state costs of about $500 million annually for 25 years to repay the bonds. The state could recoup part or all of this cost in subsequent decades if the funded research leads to discoveries that generate revenue, though this is uncertain. (25-0026A1.)
