Proposition 6 was an initiative statute that appeared on the November 3, 1998 California general election ballot. It was passed with 4,670,524 Yes votes, for 59.4 percent of the total votes cast.

An additional provision makes it a misdemeanor to sell horse meat within the state as meat intended for human consumption.
