A.G. File No. 2011-006

California Deficit Prevention Act

April 29, 2011

 


This measure makes major changes to the state and local spending limits as well as placing a limit on the amount of long-term debt that the state can owe at any one time. The measure places an annual limit on total state expenditure from the General Fund and special funds based on the growth of the state’s population and inflation, and specifies how revenues that are in excess of this limit can be spent.
