Proposition 44
California · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Prohibit healthcare clinics, specifically federally-qualified health centers and related organizations, from spending less than 90% of their annual revenue on mission-related purposes
A yes vote means
Healthcare clinics would be required by law to spend at least 90% of their money on mission-related healthcare services.
A no vote means
Healthcare clinics would continue operating under current spending rules with no new requirements on how much revenue must go to mission-related purposes.
Simple explanation
Imagine a charity that helps people get medical care. Right now, they can spend some money on things like rent, staff salaries, and advertising. This measure says they must spend at least 90 cents of every dollar they receive directly on patient care and related services, leaving only 10 cents for other operating costs. It's like requiring that most of the money that comes in goes straight to helping patients.
