Background
Propositions 96 and 102 were California ballot initiatives in the November 1988 election that each (96 with regard to law
enforcement, 102 to health authorities) "attempted to override the advice of the medical community and weaken state laws assuring
the confidentiality of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) tests" (Mark A. Stein,
Los Angeles Times, November 6, 1988). Proposition 102 was rejected by voters, but Proposition 96 was passed.
