6. Besides affecting limits on property taxes Proposition 13 may require public approval

for State Income Tax increase

1. Proposition 13 requires any measure enacted for the purpose of increasing state revenues to be approved by a two-thirds vote of each house of the legislature.

2. Voter Approval for Local “Special” Taxes Proposition 13 requires taxes
raised by local governments for a designated or special purpose to be approved by two-thirds of the voters.

3. In addition, a 2/3 majority is required in local elections when local governments propose to increase special taxes.

I do not know if proposition 13 comes into play for the taxes required for this Single Payer proposal:

From what I understand it still hasn't been determined where the revenue is coming from. The Assembly will decide that, and they it will go back to the Senate
