Legislative bill overview

SB 200 is California's fiscal year 2025 budget bill that has passed the state Senate and is now in the Assembly for consideration. The bill allocates state spending and revenue across various departments and programs for the upcoming fiscal year.

Why is this important

  • Tax policy changes: Any proposed tax increases, decreases, or structural reforms included in the budget
  • CalPERS/pension obligations: Ongoing debate over unfunded public employee retirement liabilities
