<p>INITIATIVES
</p>
<p> ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: California voters passed Proposition 187,
59% to 41%, which would bar illegal immigrants from receiving
many state benefits. It would also require teachers, doctors
and police to report illegal aliens to immigration officials.
</p>
<p> ASSISTED SUICIDE: Oregon adoted the only measure in the U.S.
to allow doctors to prescribe lethal doses of medication to
terminally ill patients.
</p>
<p> TERM LIMITS: Voters adopted them for congressional posts and
other offices in Alaska, Colorado, District of Columbia, Idaho,
Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska and Nevada.
</p>
<p> GAMBLING: Casino proposals were rejected in Colorado, Florida,
Massachusetts, Wyoming and the Navajo reservation. Missouri
approved slot machines on riverboats, and New Mexico okayed
video gambling and a lottery.
</p>
<p> CRIME: Georgia approved a two-strike rule that mandates tougher
penalties for violent felons. California adopted sentences of
25 years to life for three-time felons. Oregon stiffened mandatory
sentences for violent crimes. Ohio eliminated the appeals-court
phase in death sentences.
</p>
<p> TAXES: Oregon, Missouri and Montana rejected a requirement to
put all new tax proposals to public vote. Nevada approved a
two-thirds legislative approval for tax increases. Massachusetts
rejected a graduated income tax in favor of the current flat
rate. Arizona passed a cigarette-tax increase. Colorado rejected
one. Oklahoma rejected a 1-cent entertainment tax that would
have paid for breast-cancer research.
</p>
<p> GAY RIGHTS: Oregon and Idaho defeated proposals that would have
limited gay-rights protection.
