Description

STATE BUDGET. STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AND STATUTE.
• Establishes two-year state budget cycle.
• Prohibits Legislature from creating expenditures of more than $25 million unless offsetting
revenues or spending cuts are identified.
• Permits Governor to cut budget unilaterally during declared fiscal emergencies if Legislature fails
to act.
• Requires performance reviews of all state programs.
• Requires performance goals in state and local budgets.
• Requires publication of bills at least three days prior to legislative vote.
• Allows local governments to alter how laws governing state-funded programs apply to them, unless
Legislature or state agency vetoes change within 60 days.
Summary of Legislative Analyst’s Estimate of Net State and Local Government Fiscal Impact:
• Decreased state sales tax revenues of about $200 million annually, with a corresponding increase
of funding to certain local governments.
• Other, potentially more significant changes in state and local spending and revenues, the
magnitude of which would depend on future decisions by public officials.
