The expression “known as Proposition 37” includes relevant information, but is not needed to complete the sentence. Therefore, it is a parenthetical expression and should be offset by commas at the beginning and at the end of the phrase. Generally, commas are inserted before quotation marks. The comma should appear after “Act” and before the quotation marks.
