The bill that would lower California's voting age to 14 is now available online. It seems pretty straightforward, except perhaps the use of the word "authorize" in the following section:
Existing provisions of the California Constitution authorize a
United States citizen 18 years of age and a resident of this state to
vote.
See the prior coverage of this proposal here.
This is much more than just wacky legislation from a wacky legislator. See that post for the details. Lots of bloggers have covered this story, and all of them have covered it like they would a Reuters Oddly Enough story. Even the AP - yes, the AP - was more clued into what this is really about.
