PROP 54 "PROHIBITION AGAINST CLASSIFYING BY RACE, STATE & OTHER PUBLIC ENTITIES 
INITIATIVE":  IMPACTS ON HEALTH, LAW ENFORCEMENT, EDUCATION, & HUMAN RIGHTS OF 
CALIFORNIANS - A Joint hearing held before the Senate and Assembly Judiciary 
Committees held in compliance with the Elections Code.  The supporters of Prop 
54 state that their goal with this initiative is to create a "color-blind 
society", where these characteristics are irrelevant.  The opponents say that in 
fact, that goal will never be achieved if the state is not allowed to classify 
individuals according to those categories when providing public education, 
entering into public contracts, or employing workers.  The goal of this hearing 
is to have a constructive airing of the issues raised by Prop 54.  (Stock #1224-
