A California Criminal Liability for False Statements in Election Campaigns Act (09-0049) may be on the November 2, 2010 ballot in California as an initiated constitutional amendment.

On October 8, 2009, Glen C. Simmons filed a request with the Office of the California Attorney General for an official ballot title on an act that he is calling the "California Citizens Initiative". Once the attorney general's office has provided that title, supporters will be able to start collecting signatures.

If this measure succeeds, it will impose a variety of penalties, including criminal penalties, on people who materially misrepresent relevant facts in the course of campaigning for candidates or legislative outcomes.
