The 2023-24 California Spending Plan: Judiciary and Criminal Justice
(This was reduced in prior years when the budget partially addressed the fund’s insolvency by temporarily redirecting General Fund support from another DOJ program to support BFS instead.)
Legal Resources. The budget includes a net $28.8 million augmentation in 2023-24 (decreasing to $20.6 million annually beginning in 2027-28) from the General Fund and various special funds for additional legal resources. Of this amount, $11 million General Fund in 2023-24 (declining to $10.4 million annually beginning in 2027-28) is to implement recently enacted legislation. This includes $2.2 million General Fund in 2023-24, $2.1 million in 2024-25, and $848,000 annually in 2025-26 and 2026-27 to address an anticipated increase in workload of appellate cases due to implementation of the Racial Justice Act. The remaining amount reflects adjustments to baseline funding for DOJ legal workload, including the following:

About $8 million ongoing special funds for increased investigations and prosecutions of antitrust violations in technology, gasoline and oil, and agriculture sectors.

About $4.4 million ongoing General Fund and special funds for increased enforcement of tenant protection rights and increased housing-related litigation workload pursued by the Housing Strike Force.

$3 million ongoing General Fund reduction of support for legal workload related to state responses to actions taken by the federal government. This reduces the amount for this workload (originally provided as part of the 2017-18 budget package) to $3.5 million.

The budget also reflects the internal redirection of $13.8 million ongoing General Fund—$6.2 million from the Civil Law subdivision and $7.6 million from the California Justice Information Services Division (CJIS)—to support a new Office of General Counsel. The CJIS transfer would include shifting the entire Cybersecurity Unit as well as the entire Research Center under this new office. Additionally, DOJ’s Chief Information Security Officer will now report to the new General Counsel.
Litigation Deposit Fund (LDF). The budget includes an up to $400 million no-interest loan from the LDF to the General Fund to help address the state’s budget problem.

Explore Dublin History | Dublin, CA - Official Website
By the end of the war, over 350,000 personnel had worked, trained, or been housed at the bases.  After the war, the U.S. government closed the bases and began selling the buildings and property.  The first large purchaser was Alameda County, which repurposed the old Navy brig (prison) to become the Santa Rita Jail.Making SuburbiaThroughout the 1950s, there was little private development in the area.  One important local improvement came when Highway 50 was expanded from a two-lane road to a four-lane highway in 1953.  The U.S. Air Force took over the old Navy base and operated Parks Air Force base until 1959.  Tens of thousands of young men went through basic training there or passed through on their way to, or back, from Air Force service.By the early 1960s, two real estate developers sought to recreate their building successes in Southern California in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.  They chose the Dublin area for a huge suburban housing development.  The Volk-McLain company’s success led other developers to purchase and build near Dublin.  Dublin went from a few hundred residents to several thousand residents in the period from 1960 to 1965.  More commercial and residential development took advantage of the creation of a new, more substantial crossroads with the completion of the multi-lane freeways, Interstates 580 and 680 in the late 1960s.Local Control, Incorporation, and The New HistoryAs the population increased, so, too, did the need for local infrastructure, especially schools.  The Murray School District (founded 1866) provided the one-, then two-room school the community needed through the early 1960s.  It then struggled to provide facilities and programs to the rapidly expanding community.  Many schools were built, opened, and sometimes closed through the 1980s.  In response to community needs, the Dublin Unified School District was formed in 1988. Dublin remained an unincorporated area of Alameda County until 1982.  Starting in the late 1960s, residents became increasingly unhappy with the lack of infrastructure and control over their community’s growth and safety.  The Valley Community Services District, now known as the Dublin San Ramon Services District, provided sewer, recreation, and fire services, but it had limited taxing resources and no control over land use.
FAQs • History of Dublin
Throughout the late 1800s and the early 1900s, Dublin’s total population hovered around 200-250.  People lived on small- or medium-sized farms and only a few lived and worked at the crossroads.  This changed during World War II.  The U.S. Navy, as part of its huge expansion in the San Francisco Bay Area, bought nearly five square miles of land just east of the crossroads.  Between 1942 and 1944, the Navy built three bases which eventually housed about 90,000 sailors and Marines.  Known collectively as Fleet City, they consisted of Camp Parks, Camp Shoemaker, and Shoemaker Naval Hospital.  By the end of the war, over 350,000 personnel had worked, trained, or been housed at the bases.  After the war, the U.S. government closed the bases and began selling the buildings and property.  The first large purchaser was Alameda County, which repurposed the old Navy brig (prison) to become the Santa Rita Jail.

As the population increased, so, too, did the need for local infrastructure, especially schools.
The 2023-24 Budget: Overview of the Spending Plan (Final Version)
To inform such potential future deactivation decisions, the budget package includes budget trailer legislation requiring the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to report on various factors that impact its prison capacity needs, such as the amount of space needed to operate rehabilitation programs. The budget also reflects a $92 million reduction primarily from the General Fund in 2023‑24 (generally growing to $96 million annually beginning in 2025‑26) to reflect the closure of the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) and resulting deactivation of three of its facilities. This closure is the result of legislation included in the 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 budget packages which realigned responsibility for DJJ youth from the state to the counties. 
San Quentin Capital Outlay Projects to Support Development of the California Model. On May 5, 2023, Governor Newsom established an advisory council to recommend changes to San Quentin State Prison in order to help develop the California Model, which is broadly focused on promoting a more rehabilitative and health‑focused environment in California prisons. To support this effort, the budget includes $360.6 million in new lease revenue bond authority to demolish an existing building and construct a new educational and vocational center as well as $20 million one‑time from the General Fund for various related capital outlay projects at the prison. In addition, the budget package includes budget trailer legislation to (1) facilitate completion of these projects by 2025, such as by exempting them from historic building preservation requirements and (2) change the name of the prison to the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center.
Housing and Homelessness
Significant, Prior‑Year Funding Augmentations Generally Maintained. Previously enacted budgets authorized significant, albeit primarily one‑time and temporary, funding for housing and homelessness, including authorizing some spending actions for 2023‑24. The 2023‑24 Budget Act largely maintains those spending actions. During the 2023‑24 budget process, the Governor proposed $367.5 million in spending reductions for various primarily homeownership‑related programs.
History of the California State Library - California State Library
In 1860, the collection grew again as the Library received authorization to purchase newspaper files.

On March 8, 1861, legislation was enacted that removed responsibility for the State Library from the Secretary of State and assigned it to the newly created five-member State Library Board of Trustees. The Board, intended to reflect the role of the Library as a resource for the entire state government, was composed of the Governor, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and three members elected by the Legislature. To assist with the daily operations of the Library, the Board of Trustees was authorized to appoint a State Librarian, who was to fill that role for a four year term.
“The Board of Trustees shall have power to appoint a Librarian to superintend and take care of the State Library, and they shall prescribe such rules and regulations for the government of the library as they shall think proper.”Chapter 62, Statutes of 1861

In 1871, the Library was expanded to include a large collection of minerals, precious metals, and other geological items. This “Cabinet Department” was initially valued at $13,000 and remained with the Library until 1887, when it was moved to the Crocker Art Gallery.
In 1899, James L. Gillis was appointed State Librarian, beginning one of the most important eras in the history of the Library. In addition to founding the county library system, which serves Californians in all 58 counties today, Gillis was instrumental in building support for the construction of the Library and Courts Building in downtown Sacramento to house the growing collection.
