"Proposition 209 also known as the California Civil Rights Initiative  is a California ballot proposition which, upon approval in November 1996, amended the state constitution to prohibit state governmental institutions from considering race, sex, or ethnicity, specifically in the areas of public employment, public contracting, and public education. "

d) help minority contractors get jobs
