 Vouchers Lose in California & Michigan; Survive in Florida -- December 2000 Education Reporter
California's Proposition 38 would have required the state to phase in a voucher system over a four-year period.
California Eagle Forum State President Sandee Beckers said she arrived at her position of qualified support for the initiative only after considerable thought, prayer, and consultation with a variety of experts.

California has strict liability for dog bites such that liability is imposed regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner's knowledge of such viciousness.
This California statute provides that it is a felony to own, possess, keep, or train any dog, with the intent that the dog shall be engaged in an exhibition of fighting with another dog, or to cause dogs to fight for the purpose of amusement or gain.
California law specifically states that no other statutes are to be construed to allow the taking of state protected birds, of which the golden eagle and bald eagle are listed, and any licenses issued to take protected birds are void unless issued for scientific or depredation purposes.
