State Budget Process Overview
The Governor releases the state budget proposal in early January, which kicks off the state and Cabrillo budget processes.
The Governor's budget proposal is a baseline of funding upon which we build our annual budget planning assumptions. Per Title 5 mandates, it usually is approved mid-June in order to have a spending plan in place for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
