General Government
Other Special Session Issues

The Governor has called a Special Session of the Legislature to immediately address the Budget and cash shortfall. Included in the Special Session is a proposal to make a transfer from the Budget Stabilization Account pursuant to Proposition 58.

As authorized by Control Section 35.60 of the 2007 Budget Act, and consistent with constitutional provisions enacted by Proposition 58, the Director of Finance ordered the transfer of $1.494 billion from the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA) to the General Fund. The transfer was made to address a fiscal emergency proclaimed by the Governor on January 10, 2008.

The Governor is proposing to suspend the 2008-09 transfer of $1.509 billion from the General Fund to the BSA, in light of the current condition of the General Fund.
