Its not really a plan to split California into six states, its a plan to propose to the federal government splitting California into six states, and to amend the State Constitution to permit each county a broad power to nullify state law within the county until and unless that partition occurs [1]. This is particularly critical to note because if the federal government were to reject the partition plan (which seems quite possible if it were to pass California voters), the changes to the State Constitution would remain.

[1] See Section 4 of the initiative [2], amending Article XI of the State Constitution.
