b The May Revision proposes a 7.95 percent reduction to state operations for most state departments in 2024-25. For CLSF, the reduction is applied in 2025-26. The reduction is to CLSF's main General Fund appropriation, which supports administration, campus operations, and lease revenue debt service.
