SACRAMENTO, CALIF.
California lawmakers have approved a $122.5 billion budget that funds state government for 2016-17. The budget was negotiated by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, and the top two legislative leaders, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon of Paramount and Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, of Los Angeles.
Here’s a look at what’s in it, and some things that are not.
WHAT’S GOING UP?
— Vehicle registration fees rise from $70 per year to $80, generating about $400 million annually for the Department of Motor Vehicles, California Highway Patrol, Air Resources Board and other departments
— $100 million increase for subsidized child care, growing to $500 million over the next four years
— $107 million next year and $233 million the following year to repeal the maximum family grant in CalWORKs, the state welfare program
