a Proposition 56 (2016) earmarked up to $40 million in tobacco-tax revenue for a certain GME program. As tobacco-tax revenue has dropped over time, the state has provided General Fund to backfill the shortfall. Rather than increasing the backfill as proposed in the Governor's budget, the May Revision proposes to eliminate the General Fund backfill entirely.
b Implements a four-year budget agreement. In 2023-24, the budget included $1.3 million, increasing to $2.4 million in 2024-25.
c Consists of $5 million for professional development and $4.5 million for the UC Hematologic Malignancies Pilot program. The May Revision proposes to pull back $5 million in unspent one-time professional development funding.
