LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SCA 7, as introduced, Moorlach. California Stem Cell Research and Cures Act: repeal.
The California Stem Cell Research and Cures Act, an initiative measure comprised of constitutional and statutory provisions that was approved by the voters at the November 2, 2004, statewide general election as Proposition 71, generally provides for the issuance of general obligation bonds to fund stem cell research.

The constitutional provisions also establish a right to conduct stem cell research.
This measure would repeal the constitutional provisions of the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Act.
