COVID-19 and California’s Evolving Fiscal Outlook

Mar 18, 2020 - The extended tax filing due date —while justified —will further complicate the task of developing revised revenue estimates both for the current year and the 2020 ‑21 fiscal year. Given that it will take time to appraise the ultimate effects on the state, the Legislature may need to take incremental steps —like adopting a workload budget in the nearer term —to

The 2020-21 Budget: Proposition 2 Debt Payment Proposals

Mar 10, 2020 - In those intervening years, there would be a difference between the rate the state is paying and the rate the state would pay if the CalSTRS board had full rate setting authority.

The 2020-21 Budget: Structuring the Budget

Feb 10, 2020 - In addition, required General Fund spending on schools and community colleges —under the provisions of Proposition  98 (1988) —also usually declines when revenues do.

The 2020-21 Budget: Structuring the Budget [Publication Details]

Feb 10, 2020 - California has made significant progress in recent years to make its budget more resilient. Yet the process of achieving resilience can never be considered finished.

Jan 13, 2020 - The Governor allocates most of the surplus toward one-time purposes, including maintaining a positive year-end balance in the state’s discretionary reserve.
