| a The May Revision modifies a Governor's budget proposal by converting a reduction associated with sweeping vacant positions (across state agencies) from being one time to ongoing. In addition, the May Revision proposes an ongoing unallocated 7.95 percent reduction to state operations beginning in 2024-25. This proposed reduction would be implemented pursuant to Control Section 4.05 (instead of being reflected within each agency's budget). Combined, the two proposals would reduce each agency's state operations funding by an estimated 10 percent, but the administration has discretion in applying the reductions across agencies. This table excludes these proposals. | |||
| b Includes $59,000 General Fund shifted to the Central Service Cost Recovery Fund. Action taken to ensure that the correct fund source is paying for central services. | |||
| c Reflects encumbered carryover from various appropriations originally made in 2021-22. | |||
| d Represents fourth year of four-year funding plan initiated as part of the 2021-22 budget agreement. | |||
| e The Governor initially proposed to pull back $131.3 million previously appropriated for local library infrastructure projects. By May Revision, $126.9 million of that amount already had been encumbered. | |||
