Fourteen years after the demise of the last serious attempt to revise Californias much maligned Constitution, the effort has been renewed again. California Forward, a foundation funded bipartisan coalition, has proposed a slate of structural reforms that could be adopted as either legislative (LCAs) or as initiative (ICAs) constitutional amendments. Repair California, sponsored by the Bay Area Council (a business sponsored public policy advocacy organization for the nine counties of the Bay Area) has proposed a radical new form of constitutional convention that would bypass the legislature and rely on delegates chosen by local government and lottery.
