Passing with more than two-thirds of the vote, the proposition amended the Constitution of California to explicitly grant the right to an abortion and contraceptives, making California among the first states in the nation to codify the right. The decision to propose the codification of abortion rights in the state constitution was precipitated in May 2022 by Politico's publishing of a leaked draft opinion showing the United States Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The decision reversed judicial precedent that previously held that the United States Constitution protected the right to an abortion.

The proposition also would have put in place procedures for public notice, disclosure, hearing, and subsequent judicial review for the process of the rate change being approved. The proposition was similar to 1988 California Proposition 103, in that it imposed the same things on health care insurers that the 1988 proposition imposed on homeowners insurance and automobile insurance. Sponsors of the proposition had originally tried to get the proposition on the November 2012 California election ballot and turned in over 800,000 signatures on May 18, 2012. On June 28, 2012, it was determined that there would not be enough time to confirm the validity of the signatures in time for the November election. It was announced on August 23, 2012 that the measure would be on the November 2014 ballot. The proposition was supported by Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, CREDO Action and Dennis Quaid. Opponents of the measure include the California Republican Party, California Hospital Association, NAACP California, California Chamber of Commerce and California Medical Association.

Legislation AB 277 ratified a gaming compact between the state of California and the Northfork Rancheria of Mono Indians of California and another gaming compact between the state of California and the Wiyot Tribe. It would allow the Northfork Tribe to use land in the Central Valley to build a casino. It was defeated in the 2014 November California elections. Supporters of Prop 48 included the California Democratic Party, Jerry Brown, the Northfork Rancheria of Mono Indians, Station Casinos and Plumbers and Pipefitters U.A. Local #246. Supporters argued that the proposition would create thousands of jobs in the Central Valley area, help tribal economies and protect regions that are environmentally "sensitive" from project development. Opponents argued that this proposition would be in conflict with an agreement made by tribes in the past which was to keep Indian gaming to tribal lands. They also claimed the casino would be too close to existing Central Valley communities and it would cause even more casino proposals to be created. Opponents of the bill included Potrero Hill Democratic Club, CREDO Action, Chukchansi Economic Development Authority, United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria, Table Mountain Rancheria, Riva Ridge Recovery Fund and Brigade Capital Management.
