MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGES Back to Top
  • Environmental License Plate Fund - The Budget includes $4.7 million in reductions to various Resources Agency and CalEPA departments to maintain a positive fund balance. This includes a $3 million reduction for the Department of Fish and Game that will be backfilled by the Fish and Game Preservation Fund. The Budget also proposes to increase the cost of an Environmental License Plate registration or renewal by $4 to increase revenue by approximately $4.0 million. This is consistent with the Administration's overarching approach to solve budget problems with a combination of reductions and revenues.
