This sets the stage for full enforcement of Prop 209. However, since Prop 209 does not change Federal laws and since many of California's local programs get federal funding, many situations exist where Prop 209 can not be implemented. However, individual situations where past or present discrimination based on gender or race in public employment, education or contracting can still be litigated. These may wind their way up to the Supreme Court and provide a way to challenge Prop 209 in the future. The preceeding material on this page is adapted with many additions and modifications from many sources.
