APA California legislative update: May 2025

Jun 24 2025

The Appropriations Committees will meet May 23 to review high-cost proposals in the “Suspense File.” Facing a $12 billion deficit, fewer bills may pass, though key planning bills are expected to proceed. Governor Newsom’s May Budget Revision of $321.9 billion reflects this shortfall. The Legislature aims to pass bills by June 6, with policy committees resuming mid-July. APA California monitors and updates legislative concerns online.
