State Budget

​Policy Issues​
Counties in California provide most state services, making counties keenly interested and active in the state budget process.

CSAC Budget and Fiscal Advocacy Letters

In the coming weeks, CSAC will submit letters to the Governor’s Administration, legislative leadership, and budget committee chairs in both houses offering comments to inform budget conversations throughout the spring and summer.  

Concurrently, budget committees in the Assembly and Senate will hold hearings to review the Governor’s budget proposals and craft the legislative vehicles that will eventually become the 2026 Budget Act. Most budget committee work is done through subcommittees that focus on specific policy areas. A list of subcommittees by policy area and their hearing schedules are available on the Senate and Assembly budget committee websites.  

Budget negotiations will begin in earnest later this spring, particularly after the Governor releases his May Revision budget proposal in mid-May, with the tight constitutional deadline for the Legislature to pass the budget bill(s) a scant month later, by June 15.
