Proposition 302:
"TERMINATES THE EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND HEALTH BOARD AND PROGRAMS ESTABLISHED BY VOTERS IN 2006 AS THE 'ARIZONA EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND HEALTH INITIATIVE;' REQUIRES MONEY IN THE EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION FUND BE DEPOSITED IN THE STATE GENERAL FUND AND USED FOR HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FOR CHILDREN."
A YES vote shall have the effect of terminating the Arizona Early Childhood Development and Health Board and programs, which were established by voters in 2006 as part of the "Arizona Early Childhood Development and Health Initiative." It would require the transfer of money remaining in the early childhood development and education fund on December 1, 2010 to be deposited in the state general fund. Thereafter, it would require tobacco tax money collected pursuant to the initiative to be deposited in the state general fund and used for health and human services for children.
A NO vote shall have the effect of retaining the Arizona Early Childhood Development and Health Board and programs and keeping any money in the early childhood development and education fund.
