A.G. File No. 2004-032

California Budget Deficit Prevention Act

December 07, 2004

 


This measure would eliminate the existing constitutional provisions relating to state and local appropriations limits and replace them with a new, more comprehensive limit on state government spending. Local jurisdictions would no longer be subject to an appropriations limit. However, the measure prohibits a local government from spending in any year more than it received in revenues (including reserve funds).
