Sep 17, 2024 - The deferral, which was initially enacted to help address a budget problem in the 2006-07 budget, was scheduled to end in 2022-23. The 2023-24 budget delayed its end to 2024-25. Withdrawing the scheduled end of the deferral in 2024-25, thereby allowing it to continue, provides $5 33  million one-time General Fund savings in 2024-25.
