State Budget Update
Last Friday‚ the Legislature voted on the Supermajority’s 2025-26 legislative budget plan‚ which will now head to the Governor’s desk. Senate Bill 101 reflects an agreement between the Senate and Assembly Democrats on the major provisions of the budget. This budget plan is expected to spend roughly $324.7 billion total‚ which is $5.5 billion more than the Governor’s proposal‚ and would increase out-year deficits by about $6 billion annually through 2028-29. This increase in spending is only possible through spending gimmicks like borrowing $7.1 billion from the state’s rainy day fund‚ borrowing $6.5 billion from special funds and General Fund cash‚ collecting $5.5 billion from tax increases imposed last year‚ and an additional $330 million more from new tax increases.
While the Governor’s proposal had zero funding for Proposition 36‚ which supports mental health and drug treatment programs‚ SB 101 dedicates $110 million in direct funding to Prop 36‚ with an additional $89 billion in flexible grants to local governments that can be used for these programs. However‚ that falls woefully short of the $400 million needed to fully fund Prop 36‚ especially considering it was overwhelmingly passed by California voters.
I was pleased to see that the Legislative proposal rejected the Governor’s cuts to the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Program‚ which provides in-home assistance to eligible aged‚ blind and disabled individuals allowing recipients to stay safely in their homes. This proposal also commits some funding to fight wildfires but again falls short on wildfire prevention‚ providing only $200 million while spending $1 billion on High-Speed Rail.
