Schools, transportation and homelessness prevention programs will see big spending increases under the nearly $200 billion state budget passed by the California legislature Thursday.
The budget provides more than 13,000 new slots for state-subsidized child care and $500 million in one-time emergency funds for local governments to respond to homelessness. It allocates $5 billion for transportation improvements. It also brings state reserves up to nearly $16 billion.
The plan includes $138.6 billion in general fund spending. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Lakewood, said the budget bill touches on every part of the state.
