Fiscal Update

The proposals by Governor Gavin Newsom highlight fiscal stability and strategic investments, reflecting a stronger financial position compared to 2024-25. Following a budget gap ranging from $38鈥�$68 billion last year, current-year revenues are projected to exceed expectations by $16.5 billion.听

For key highlights include:听

• A statutory COLA of 2.43% for the Student-Centered Funding Formula (SCFF), costing $230.4 million annually.听

• Programs like Adult Education, EOPS, and CalWORKs will receive the same 2.43% COLA.听

• 0.50% for systemwide Enrollment Growth.听

Other Investments:听

• $100 million one-time for expansion of Credit for Prior Learning (Career Passport Program).听

• $168 million one-time for the Statewide Technology Transformation project.听

• $162.5 million for a common cloud data platform.听

• $30 million ongoing to expand the Rising Scholars Network.听

• Proposition 2 (2024) allocates $51.5 million one-time funds for infrastructure, modernization, and growth projects at 28 CCC facilities.听

Economic and Revenue Outlook听

The Governor assumes stable economic growth for 2025-26, with projected GDP growth slowing to 2.1% in 2025 and 1.8% in 2026. Inflation and unemployment rates are expected to decrease gradually. However, risks include federal policy changes, stock market volatility, and California鈥檚 high cost of living.听

Key projections:听

• Personal income tax remains the largest revenue source (67% of General Fund revenue).听

• Capital gains revenue is expected to contribute 8.5%鈥�9.1% of annual General Fund revenues through 2026.听

• A $16.5 billion revenue surplus over the three-year budget window (2023-26) is anticipated, driven by personal income and corporation taxes.

Proposition 98 Minimum Guarantee and State Reserves听

Proposition 98 Funding:听

• The Proposition 98 funding proposal for 2024-25 is set $1.6 billion below ($117.6 billion proposed to be funded) the calculated guarantee ($119.2 billion). This approach aims to safeguard the state from allocating more funding to K-14 education than constitutionally required, as recovering excess appropriations would be challenging.听

• Estimated at $118.9 billion for 2025-26, slightly below the 2024-25 peak of $119.2 billion.听

State Reserves:听

• Maintains a $7.1 billion withdrawal from the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA) to balance the state budget over the two fiscal years (2024-25 and 2025-26).听

• Proposes increasing the BSA cap from 10% to 20% of General Fund revenues for the state to increase California鈥檚 budget resiliency.听

• Adds $376 million to the Public School System Stabilization Account (PSSSA), for an end-of-year balance for 2025-26 of $1.2 billion.听

Career Education Investments听

The Governor鈥檚 proposals align with the new Master Plan for Career Education, focusing on dual enrollment, pathways programs, and skill documentation through initiatives like the Career Passport Program ($100 million one-time).听

Other key investments include:听

• $5 million ongoing for a state planning and coordination body.听

• $4 million one-time for regional coordination in career education and training.听

Closing听

The Governor has prioritized stability funding for TK-14 education while postponing the planned 5% funding compacts for both the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) systems until 2027-28. At the same time, the proposed budget maintains a 7.95% reduction in ongoing General Fund support beginning in the 2025-26 fiscal year for both systems and state agencies including the State Chancellor鈥檚 Office.听
