The Proposition was co-authored by
California State Assemblyman
Kenneth Cory (
D-
Garden Grove) and
California State Senator George Moscone (D-
San Francisco) as a protective measure against government agencies collecting personal information from citizens. Subsequently,
Supreme Court of California decisions have used this
enumerated right to grant additional rights beyond those of the California Constitution.
Abortion restrictions and occupancy rules that required blood relations for residents in single family zoned homes were struck down under Proposition 11's guarantee to privacy, as well as discovery regarding a sexual harassment victim's sexual history and drug tests of college athletes. ==References==
