SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom, Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limón, and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas today announced a three-party agreement on California’s 2026-27 state budget, delivering a balanced spending plan with zero deficit that protects Californians while maintaining the state’s long-term fiscal stability amid continued economic uncertainty and President Trump’s politically motivated attacks on the state, including the withholding of state funding.
The agreement builds on California’s strong fiscal foundation by preserving reserves, maintaining responsible budgeting practices, and continuing strategic investments that strengthen communities, grow the economy, and expand opportunity across the state.
A balanced budget isn’t an end in itself—it’s how we deliver for Californians. This budget demonstrates responsible choices that protect our fiscal strength while continuing to invest in what matters most. In California, we support working families, create more opportunity, and build safer, healthier communities. That’s how we keep California the engine of America’s economy and a place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
Governor Gavin Newsom
“In January, California was faced with a difficult fiscal outlook that prompted the legislature to take a hard look at the financial future of the Golden State. Thankfully, despite continued funding cuts from the federal administration, California was able to mitigate the impacts to programs that millions rely on. Today’s budget agreement reflects our commitment to protect core programs and address our short and long-term financial future by building up our rainy day fund and making responsible budgeting choices. I am also proud that the Senate was able to secure critical funding for child care slots, safeguard access to care, and take significant steps towards ensuring large corporations pay their fair share. Thank you to the Governor and Speaker of the Assembly for their partnership to deliver a strong foundation for our future.”
Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limón
“Working families deserve a budget that has their back — and that’s exactly what California is delivering. We’re protecting health care, preserving food programs, investing in housing at record levels and building reserves to fight back no matter what Trump and Republicans throw at us. While Washington’s agenda drives up prices and guts critical programs, California is focused on what matters: Real solutions that put affordability first.”
Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas
The budget agreement reflects the Governor and Legislature’s longstanding commitment to balanced budgets that protect Californians while preparing the state for future economic uncertainty.
Governor Newsom’s administration has prioritized building reserves, reducing long-term liabilities, and making historic investments in education, public safety, housing, healthcare, climate resilience, infrastructure, and economic opportunity.
Earlier this week, Governor Newsom and legislative leaders announced two major agreements that form key pillars of the broader budget package:
Among its key priorities, the balanced budget agreement:
The agreement also reflects California’s continued commitment to responsible fiscal management, preserving the state’s ability to respond to future economic conditions while protecting the essential programs Californians rely upon.
The Governor, Senate, and Assembly will continue working together through the constitutional budget process in the coming days.
Over the past seven years, California has transformed its fiscal outlook by paying down debt, building historic reserves, maintaining the state’s credit rating, and making record investments in the people and infrastructure that power one of the world’s largest economies. This budget continues this disciplined approach — protecting essential services today while positioning California for long-term success.
Since Governor Newsom took office, California has:
The 2026-27 budget agreement continues this disciplined approach — making strategic investments while preserving California’s fiscal strength for years to come. A fact sheet is available here.
