As counties work diligently to prepare local budgets in the face
of great fiscal uncertainty, we know there are many questions
about existing revenue streams. The economic impacts of COVID-19
are anticipated to result in sharp reductions in Vehicle License
Fee (VLF) and Sales and Use Tax, creating unprecedented times for
2011 Public Safety Realignment—the first year-over-year decline
in revenue for the Local Revenue Fund 2011.
Given the number of questions that have been raised, and because
counties may be asked or asking these questions in the near
future, CSAC and Urban Counties of California partnered to
develop the attached
2011 Public Safety Realignment Fact Sheet/FAQ.
If you have additional questions regarding 2011 Public Safety
Realignment, please reach out to the CSAC Administration of
Justice or Health and Human Services policy teams.
