Bill Summary · SB 110

Legislative bill overview

SB 110 is California's Budget Act of 2025, which establishes the state's fiscal spending plan and revenue allocations for the 2025-2026 budget cycle. The bill has passed the California Senate and is currently in the Assembly for consideration. Budget acts are the primary legislative vehicle through which the state appropriates funds and sets fiscal policy.

Why is this important

The Budget Act determines how California allocates approximately $300+ billion in general fund spending across education, healthcare, infrastructure, public safety, and social services. This bill directly affects tax policy, spending priorities, and whether programs receive funding increases, decreases, or face elimination. It reflects the state's fiscal health and policy priorities during a period of potential economic uncertainty.

Potential points of contention

  • Revenue vs. spending balance: Whether the budget relies on new revenue sources, draws down reserves, or implements spending cuts to address any deficit
  • Education and healthcare funding: Allocation levels for K-12 schools, higher education, and Medicaid (Medi-Cal), which are major budget drivers
  • Infrastructure and housing priorities: Competition between transportation, climate initiatives, and affordable housing funding amid limited resources
