This conference on the thirtieth anniversary of the passage of California's Proposition 13 examines the political, economic, and fiscal legacy of this revolutionary amendment to the state constitution. Proposition 13 imposed a 1% cap on the local property tax rate for Californians and launched a national tax revolt movement. The one-day conference consists of three panels, with a mix of academic, policy experts, and journalists, that assesses the varied fiscal, economic, social, and political ramifications of this watershed tax movement.
