California AB 112: Amendments to State Budget Acts of 2022–2025
AB 112 proposes amendments to California's Budget Acts for fiscal years 2022 through 2025. The bill has been amended by the committee chair and re-referred to the Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, with a hearing scheduled for June 29, 2026. The legislation would revise spending, appropriations, or fiscal provisions already enacted across those four budget years, though the specific programmatic changes are contained in the amendments.
✓ REASONS TO SUPPORT
- Amending prior budget acts can correct outdated funding levels so that state money better reflects current program needs and economic conditions.
- Revisiting multiple budget years at once may allow lawmakers to close funding gaps or redirect unspent dollars more efficiently than piecemeal fixes.
- Updating enacted budgets can provide state agencies with clearer fiscal guidance, potentially reducing uncertainty in service delivery.
✕ REASONS TO OPPOSE
- Reopening four separate budget years in a single bill can make it difficult for the public and legislators to track exactly what spending is being changed and why.
- Last-minute amendments to already-enacted budgets may bypass the full deliberative review that major fiscal decisions typically receive.
- Revising past appropriations could disrupt funding commitments that agencies and local governments have already planned around or begun spending.
