Major Program Changes
  • Suspend/Repeal State Mandates - A decrease of $728.8 million in 2012-13 as a result of suspending most mandates not related to law enforcement or property taxes. In addition, the Administration is proposing trailer bill language to repeal or make permissive many of the mandates that have been suspended for the past two years or more.

  • Deferral of Pre-2004 Mandate Obligations - A one-time reduction of $99.5 million in 2012-13 as a result of deferring the 2012-13 payment for costs incurred prior to 2004-05, which are statutorily required to be completely paid by 2020-21.
