corrected to conform with Assembly intent that K-12 deficit	reduction commences	in 2000-01.

The Governor proposes a 2000-01 General Fund reserve of $1.8 billion. (In addition, the Governor includes $700 million in set-asides for litigation and legislation.) The Assembly version would result in a $1.4 billion reserve.
The Assembly assumes $517 million in additional 2000-01 revenues compared to the Governor. This primarily reflects Assembly adoption of the LAO's May revenue estimates.
The Assembly assumes a carry-in balance into 2000-01 that is $174 million more than the Governor’s.
The Assembly’s expenditure figure is up $1.7 billion compared to the Governor’s. This is due to higher spending in a variety of areas, including transportation, community colleges, and health and social services programs.

The Governor proposes 2000-01 General Fund spending of $78.2 billion, an increase of 16.3 percent. On an inflation-adjusted basis, the Governor’s proposed spending would rise 12.1 percent.
The Assembly version shows higher spending in 2000-01--up $1.7 billion from the Governor, or 19.2 percent from the current year.
For the current year, budget expenditures are $67.3 billion, or 16.3 percent above the prior year. The Assembly’s spending amount is slightly below the Governor’s proposal for the current year--by $152 million.
Over the past decade, real spending fell during the recession and early recovery years, but has risen substantially in recent years.

The Assembly version spends $27.3 billion from the General Fund for Proposition 98 K-12 programs. This is $107 million more than proposed in the Governor’s May Revision.
The Assembly version approves the May Revision proposal for $1.84 billion for “deficit reduction.” This action fully funds K-12 revenue limits, commencing with the budget year.
The Assembly version provides less funding for teacher and school performance awards tied to improved school scores on the Academic Performance Index, and provides more funding for various other priorities--including child care, summer school/ after school, deferred maintenance/technology, and classroom supplies.
