	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1426, as introduced, DeSaulnier. State budget: 2-year spending
plan.
   The California Constitution requires the Governor to submit
annually to the Legislature a budget itemizing state expenditures and
estimating state revenues and requires the Legislature to pass the
Budget Bill by midnight on June 15.
   This bill would require the Governor to submit, together with the
Governor's Budget for each fiscal year that begins in an odd-numbered
year, commencing with the 2011-12 fiscal year, a proposed budget
plan for the immediately following fiscal year. The bill would
specify that the Governor's Budget subsequently submitted for that
immediately following fiscal year identify proposed modifications to
the budget plan previously submitted for that year.
   Under existing statutory law, every state agency and court for
which an appropriation is made is required to submit to the
Department of Finance for approval, a complete and detailed budget
setting forth all proposed expenditures and estimated revenues for
the ensuing fiscal year.
   This bill would require that this budget, as submitted for each
ensuing fiscal year that begins in an odd-numbered year, commencing
with the 2011-12 fiscal year, be accompanied by a budget plan that
sets forth proposed expenditures and estimated revenues for the
immediately following fiscal year.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
