The governor will sign a final budget by July 1, the start of California’s new fiscal year.
The California Legislature on Thursday passed the 2023-24 budget, adhering to its constitutional deadline.
Like many other issues, Democrats and Republicans remain divided over the budget, which contains $311.7 billion in total spending, especially as California faces a nearly $32 billion deficit. But Assemblymember Diane Dixon, a Republican member who represents Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Laguna Hills, said it is “half-baked” and has a “handful of investments in good programs with a truckload of unrestrained program spending.”
Legislators’ budget restores $2 billion in cuts Newsom proposed for the Transportation Infrastructure Package — money that will go toward transit capital improvements, such as expanding transit lines and procuring new buses and trains.
