Not sure if the legislature legally can do anything to conflict with the peoples referendum. If that was the case, they would have gone after Prop 13 a long time ago.

Two different things.

The legislature can change the rules of how the initiative process is done, like they're doing here and tried to do last month with a bill that would've greatly increased cost for signature gathering while exempting unions—that was too far even for Brown.

They can't change what has been done via initiative without a further vote of the people or, as we've seen, via the courts.
