Fiscal Update
Governor鈥檚 May Revision for 2026鈥�27 Budget, LAO Overview, and CCC Funding Details听
The Governor鈥檚 2026鈥�27 budget process reflects two key milestones. In January, the Administration proposed a budget with a $42.3鈥痓illion revenue surge, driven听largely by听capital gains tied to stock market performance and artificial intelligence investments, but still projected a $2.9鈥痓illion deficit due to ongoing cost pressures.听
The May Revision significantly improves the state鈥檚 near-term outlook. With revenues revised upward by听roughly $16.5鈥痓illion, the Governor now presents a balanced budget for 2026鈥�27 and 2027鈥�28,听maintaining听reserves and ending each year with positive balances.听听
This balance, however, is achieved through a combination of higher revenues and deliberate policy solutions, including approximately $14鈥痓illion in budget actions such as revenue increases, spending adjustments, borrowing tied to Proposition 98 obligations, and the use of tools like the Temporary Surplus Holding Account (TSHA) to shift resources across fiscal years听
The Legislative Analyst鈥檚 Office (LAO) acknowledges that the May Revision successfully balances the budget over the next two years but raises important concerns about the underlying fiscal condition of the state.听
The LAO emphasizes that the state is heavily relying on the one-time funding sources for its鈥� ongoing structural deficit issues. The plan relies heavily on听roughly $20鈥痓illion听in reserve withdrawals and suspended deposits, along with borrowing and the use of the Temporary Surplus Holding Account (TSHA) to manage timing differences between fiscal years.听听
Despite a strong revenue environment, the LAO concludes that California now faces a structural imbalance, where ongoing expenditures exceed ongoing revenues. Under current projections, the state is expected to face operating deficits of about $10鈥痓illion annually in the听out years, even after the improvements reflected in the May Revision.听听
The LAO also highlights that revenue growth is heavily dependent on volatile capital gains, meaning that even a modest market downturn could quickly reverse the state鈥檚 fiscal gains and lists a heavier impact to the California Community College funding.听
Next Steps in the State Budget Process:听
The post-May Revise phase follows this sequence of events:听听
- Subcommittee Reviews:听Budget subcommittees in the Assembly and Senate review the May Revision proposals, integrating them into their respective legislative budget frameworks.听
- LAO Analysis:听The Legislative Analyst鈥檚 Office (LAO) continues issuing detailed, rolling analyses of the May proposals to inform these hearings.听
- Legislative Deadline (June 15):听The Legislature must constitutionally pass a balanced budget bill by midnight on June 15. The bill typically must be in print by June 12 to meet the 72-hour rule before being voted on.听
- Conference Committee & Negotiations:听Differences between the Assembly and Senate versions are reconciled, often through a joint legislative听budget听conference committee.听
- Final Passage and Signature:听After both houses vote on the final compromise package, it is sent to the Governor for final approval and signature before the fiscal year begins on July 1.听
