Proposition 38

California voters approve $8.4bn bond for immunology research via Proposition 38

California voters passed Proposition 38, authorizing $8.4 billion in state bonds to fund immunology research aimed at developing treatments for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. It is described as the largest public vote for science funding in US history, with the state repaying the bonds plus interest over time. Final vote counts took nearly a week after the mid-term elections before the measure's passage was confirmed.
