ESTABLISHES NEW STANDARDS FOR
CONFINEMENT OF SPECIFIED FARM ANIMALS;
BANS SALE OF NONCOMPLYING
PRODUCTS. INITIATIVE STATUTE.
Establishes minimum requirements for confining certain farm animals.
Prohibits sales of meat and egg products from animals
confined in noncomplying manner
This was put on by Animal rights people. Prohibits certain type of farm animal confinement, and also importantly bans the sales of animal products brought in from out of state that do not meet these standards. Like chicken or eggs from caged birds, and veal from calves from out of state that inhumanely pen them in small spaces. Endorsed by Marin Humane Society, here is their article from the Marin IJ:

Fortunately, Marin doesn’t have factory farming operations that subject animals to inhumane conditions. But the majority of the pork and veal sold in California comes from outside the state, where mother pigs and calves are confined in filthy crates so small that they can’t even turn around. Prop. 12 aims to ban the sale of pork and veal in California from factory farming operations outside the state that use these cruel crates. It would also ensure that products sold in California come from cage-free farms.
Marin Humane is one of many animal welfare organizations, veterinarians, and food safety groups who helped get this important measure on the ballot — and voters like you will make the final decision this Election Day, Nov. 6. As a leading organization on animal welfare and cruelty issues, Marin Humane advocates that all animals, including farm animals, deserve protection from cruelty and neglect.
