It is specifically intended that, if through the initiative process or otherwise, California law expands or reduces, rescinds or terminates the status and rights of domestic partners, whether current, surviving, or former, or the status and rights of domestic partnerships, then conforming expansions, reductions, rescission, or termination shall be deemed to be incorporated into this article, including retroactively.
