The 2023-24 Budget: Overview of the Spending Plan (Final Version)
They can be categorized into three types: reductions, delays, and reductions subject to trigger restoration. Nearly all of these solutions would apply to one‑time and temporary spending enacted in recent budgets. Appendix 1 provides a list of the spending solutions in the 2023‑24 budget package. The remainder of this section describes the spending solutions by type.
$5.6 Billion in Reductions. A spending reduction occurs when the Legislature eliminates an appropriation previously approved under current law or policy. The spending plan includes $5.6 billion in reductions. The largest of these is the withdrawal of a discretionary $750 million principal payment on state’s unemployment insurance loan (which otherwise is paid by employers’ payroll taxes). The spending plan also makes a $549 million reduction to the energy arrearage payment program and withdraws nearly $280 million for water recycling projects.
$6.7 Billion in Delays. A spending delay is an expenditure reduction proposed for the budget window (2021‑22 through 2023‑24) with an associated, offsetting cost increase in a future year of the multiyear (2024‑25 through 2026‑27). That is, the spending would be moved to a future year. About half of the spending‑related solutions in the budget package are delays. For example, in 2023‑24, the spending plan delays: $1 billion for zero‑emission school buses and infrastructure, $700 million for the higher education housing revolving loan program, and $550 million for broadband last‑mile project grants. 
$340 Million in Reductions Subject to Trigger Reduction. The Governor’s budget and May Revision proposed making a sizeable amount of spending‑related solutions subject to trigger restoration language. The final budget package, however, ultimately only included this trigger restoration language for $340 million in spending reductions. This included a $235 million reduction for multifamily seismic retrofit matching funds and $50 million reduction to the CalHome program. Under this language, these amounts will be reduced unless, in January 2024, the administration estimates there are sufficient resources available to fund these expenditures. In that case, the programs would be restored halfway through the fiscal year.

The Tribal Youth Nature-Based Solutions Conservation Corps program (Tribal Corps) was established in 2022 in collaboration with the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) to advance the objectives of Executive Order N-82-20 (PDF). Assembly Bill 179 (Section 52) allocates $10 million in grant funding exclusively available to California Native American tribes – federally-recognized or non-federally recognized – to establish tribal youth conservation corps programs.
The priority of the Tribal Corps grant program is to implement projects and develop programs designed to provide educational and career pathways for tribe’s young adults to engage in Nature-Based Solutions projects and programs on tribal lands that:
a) Support sustainable land management practices to tackle environmental, social, and economic challenges,
b) Promote biodiversity protection, habitat restoration, wildfire-resilient, sustainably managed landscapes, and other conservation outcomes, and
c) Accelerate natural removal of carbon and build climate resilience in our forests, wetlands, urban greenspaces, agricultural soils, and land conservation activities.

The 2024‑25 Budget
Initial Comments on the Governor’s May Revision

Key Takeaways
We Estimate Governor Addressed a $55 Billion Budget Problem. The Governor cites a budget problem of $27 billion. Based on the administration’s revenue estimates and proposals, we estimate the Governor addressed a larger deficit than this—$55 billion. The difference is attributable to what our offices consider to be current law, particularly for school and community college spending. While we would maintain that our approach more accurately reflects current law, these scoring differences do not reflect substantive differences in our views of the state’s fiscal position.
The Governor Addresses the Deficit by Adjusting Spending. The May Revision primarily solves the budget problem by adjusting spending. Spending-related solutions (including both school and community college spending and other spending) represent nearly 90 percent of the total solutions. Of this total, $22 billion are related to school and community college funding changes and $16 billion are spending reductions, while the remaining solutions comprise other types, like fund shifts.

Tribal Nature-Based Solutions Program
This funding will support the return of ancestral lands to tribal ownership and stewardship, planning and implementation of habitat restoration projects, protecting our coast and oceans, advancing wildfire resiliency and cultural fire, and so many more multi-benefit nature-based solutions projects across California. These projects and tribal leadership in advancing nature-based solutions is essential for the integration of tribal expertise and Traditional Ecological Knowledge into reaching the goal of conserving 30% of California’s lands and coastal waters by 2030 and working with our lands to address the climate and biodiversity crisis. 
In December 2023, the Tribal Nature-Based Solutions grant program provided early funding through its time-sensitive, shovel-ready application process to the Hoopa Valley Tribe in partnership with the State Coastal Conservancy and private funders to support the Tribe to acquire 10,395 acres of forested property to return Hupa Mountain back to tribal stewardship. 
Thank you to tribal leaders for your consultations, collaborations with partners, time, and energy spent advancing these important projects.

The Tribal Nature-Based Solutions grant program is honored to partner with the following California Native American tribes in awarding these funds:

Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indian
American Indian Council of Mariposa County (Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation)
Cold Springs Rancheria of Mono Indians of California*

The 2024-25 Budget: Initial Comments on the Governor’s May Revision
In addition, the May Revision includes $4 billion in reserve withdrawals, $1 billion in cost shifts, and about $2 billion in revenue-related solutions. Online appendices 1 and 2 (forthcoming) list all of the solutions by area.

School and Community College Spending
The California Constitution sets a minimum annual funding requirement for schools and community colleges—otherwise known as Proposition 98. The state meets this requirement through a combination of General Fund spending and local property tax revenue. When General Fund revenue declines, the minimum requirement usually declines in tandem. Most school spending, however, does not automatically decrease when the minimum requirement drops in the current or prior year. Due to lower General Fund revenues, the amount of authorized school and community college spending exceeds the minimum requirements for 2022-23 and 2023-24. The May Revision aligns school and community college spending to the minimum required level in each year of the budget window. This reduces total General Fund spending on schools and community colleges by $22 billion.
Spending-Related Solutions
Reductions. Under our definition, a spending reduction occurs when the Governor proposes that the state spend less money than what has been established under current law or policy. More colloquially, these are spending cuts. The May Revision includes $16 billion in spending-related reductions. This includes:

One-Time and Temporary Reductions. Within the budget window, the May Revision eliminates or reduces over $11 billion in one-time or temporary spending. For example, the May Revision forgoes nearly $1 billion in provider rate increases in the Managed Care Organization package (growing to over $2 billion in 2025-26), reduces $325 million in funding for the multifamily housing program, and reduces the Regional Early Action Planning program by $300 million.
Ongoing Spending Reductions. The May Revision also includes about $5 billion in ongoing spending reductions in 2024-25, which grow to roughly $8 billion over time. These ongoing reductions include, for example: an unallocated cut to state operations, an indefinite pause to the multiyear child care slot expansion plan, and a reduction to foster care permanent rates (which would be subject to a trigger restoration if revenues are sufficient to fund them in the future).

Midwest Farmers Using Cover Crops Take Small Yield Hit

2019 - 2020JPEG

Most farm fields in the U.S. Midwest lay bare over the winter. From the time of corn and soybean harvests—sometime between September and December—until the planting season in spring, valuable topsoil is often unprotected. Wind, snowmelt, and rain can remove topsoil and nutrients from fields and carry them into the Mississippi River, where, instead of providing a foundation for crop production, they contribute to water pollution and flow into the Gulf of Mexico.
Cover crops are increasingly planted by farmers between growing seasons to reduce soil erosion and fertilizer runoff. Planting cover crops has been found to protect soil, improve soil carbon sequestration, reduce nitrogen and phosphorous runoff, and reduce the need for chemical weed control. But the practice has hindered yields of primary cash crops, a recent study has found. The study, led by NASA Harvest researchers, analyzed the productivity of farm fields across the U.S. Midwest and found that cover crop adoption was associated with an average yield hit of 5.5 percent for corn fields and 3.5 percent for soybean fields.

Proposition 84

Proposition 84, the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 was passed by the voters November 8, 2006. It added Public Resources Code 75050, authorizing the Legislature to appropriate $45 million to the California Conservation Corps (CCC) for resource conservation and restoration projects, and for facilities acquisition, development and local resource conservation activities.
The bond appropriated $32.5 million to certified local conservation corps (LCC) between two allocations:

Allocation 1 75050(l)(1): For projects to improve public safety and improve and restore watersheds.
Allocation 2: 75050(I)(2): For acquisition and development of facilities to support LCCs and for local resource conservation activities.
