AB910: Bill Text

However, current law further provides that if the balance of the budget stabilization fund on June 30 of the fiscal year is at least equal to five percent of the estimated expenditures from the general fund during the fiscal year, the secretary may not make the transfer to the budget stabilization fund.

Under this bill, if the secretary of administration does not make a transfer to the budget stabilization fund because the balance of the budget stabilization fund on June 30 of the fiscal year is at least equal to five percent of the estimated expenditures from the general fund during the fiscal year, 50 percent of the surplus must be used to reduce the state's general obligation and variable rate debt supported by general purpose revenue.

The bill further requires that the state's general obligation and variable rate debt supported by general purpose revenue be reduced by $100,000,000 in the 2020-21 fiscal year.

Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed as an appendix to the bill.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
