The 2025-26 Budget: Estimated State Savings From Proposition 47

Feb 26, 2025 - By overestimating the impact of Proposition  36, the administration underestimates the remaining prison population reduction still attributable to Proposition  47. This means that the $88.3  million in state savings estimated to occur in 2024-25 and reflected in the 2025-26 Governor ’s budget as a transfer from the General Fund to the SNSF is likely underestimated.

The 2025-26 Budget: California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

Feb 25, 2025 - However, we anticipate that even after adjusting for the effects of Proposition  36 there will still be excess capacity. For example, if Proposition  36 increases the number of MHCBs needed by 4  percent in 2025 ‑26 (the amount the administration expects the measure to increase the overall population by in that year) there would still be 95  excess beds in 2025 ‑26.
