C4CA determines that domestic partnerships are compatible with Proposition 22.
Knight v. Superior Court 128 Cal.App.4th 14 (Cal. Ct. App. 2005), accessed February 25, 2021
The numerous dissimilarities between the two types of unions disclose that the Legislature has not created a "same-sex marriage" under the guise of another name. For all of the reasons stated above, we conclude the trial judge correctly ruled that the Legislature’s enactment of section 297.5 did not constitute an amendment of Proposition 22: that the statute thus became effective without separate approval by the electorate: and, therefore, that section 297.5 is not void.
