THE LIST OF CHANGES TO THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET, FINAL CHANGE BOOK - 6355

The Final Change Book publication, released after budget enactment, includes all spending authority changes made to proposals contained in the Governor’s Budget, as submitted to the California State Legislature by January 10 each year. Changes are presented in three columns that represent different points-in-time during the budget process. The May Revision column presents changes since the Governor’s Budget, as proposed in the May Revision. The Conference Committee column contains legislative changes to the proposed budget plan, as well as the Legislature’s acceptance of the Administration’s proposals. The Enacted Budget column includes all changes to the Governor’s Budget, including any changes resulting from vetoes by the Governor.

Each change is identified by an item number or control section related to the Budget Act or other authority, and a budget request name and title. Only changes for the newly enacted fiscal year are displayed (changes to the prior fiscal years are not included). Details include information for the categories and programs changed in the identified department for state operations, local assistance, capital outlay, and unclassified items. The Final Change Book also includes statewide fiscal summaries.
