2004 Initiative Analysis: Local Government Property Tax Protection Act

Conversely, the measure does not provide a comparable downward adjustment for cities and counties experiencing declines in sales tax activity over the three-year period.

The 2016-17 Budget: Fiscal Impacts of Proposition 47

Feb 12, 2016 - Of the $26.9  million in court costs identified by the administration, our analysis finds that $25  million is for workload associated with resentencing hearings that occurred in 2014 –15 .
