Bill Summary

This bill relates to the timing of the establishment of the state percent of growth and the categorical state percent of growth. Current law requires the state percent of growth and categorical state percent of growth for a budget year to be enacted within 30 days of the transmission of the governor’s budget during the regular legislative session preceding the budget year. For the budget years beginning July 1, 2026, and July 1, 2027, the bill requires that the state percent of growth and categorical state percent of growth be enacted within 30 days of the governor’s budget submitted during the 2026 regular legislative session. For budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2028, the state percent of growth and categorical state percent of growth are required to be established within 30 days of the governor’s budget submitted during the regular legislative session beginning in the budget year preceding the base year. The bill takes effect upon enactment.

AI Summary

This bill adjusts the timeline for when the state's percentage of growth, which influences education funding, must be established by law. Currently, this percentage needs to be set within 30 days of the governor submitting their budget proposal for the legislative session preceding the budget year. For the budget years starting July 1, 2026, and July 1, 2027, this bill requires the percentage to be enacted within 30 days of the governor's budget submission during the 2026 legislative session. For budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2028, the bill shifts the deadline to 30 days after the governor's budget submission during the legislative session that begins in the year *before* the base year for that budget. The bill also specifies that the "categorical state percent of growth," which is a similar measure for specific education funding categories, will follow the same new timelines. This bill takes effect immediately upon being signed into law.
