5. See Proposition 209 (November 5, 1996) (codified at CAL. CONST. art. I, § 31). Affirmative action is permissible in California governmental activities only to the extent required by federal law. For example, a state or municipal agency under a federal court order could continue to implement mandated affirmative action policies. See CAL. CONST, art. I, § 31 (d), (e). The State of Washington adopted a similar initiative in 1998, which eliminated the use of affirmative action at its public colleges and universities as well.

A ballot initiative similar to California's was proposed for the November 2000 ballot in Florida, but Governor Jeb Bush chose to deflect the effort by issuing an executive order that ended all "race or gender set-asides, preferences, or quotas" in state contracts, and college and university admissions.
