The people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.00.

This act shall be known and may be cited as the Budget Act of 2025.

SEC. 1.50.

(a)In accordance with Sections 12460, 13338, and 13344 of the Government Code, it is the intent of the Legislature that this act and other financial transactions authorized outside of this act utilize a coding scheme or structure compatible with the Governors Budget, the records of the Controller in legacy systems, and the Financial Information System for California (FI$Cal), and provide for the appropriation of federal funds received by the state and deposited in the State Treasury.

(b)Essentially, the format and style are as follows:

(1)Appropriation item numbers have a structure which is common to all the states fiscal systems. The meaning of this structure is as follows:

2720Business Unit (known as organization code in legacy systems, indicates the department or entity) (e.g., 2720 represents the Department of the California Highway Patrol)

001Reference Code (indicates whether the item is from the Budget Act or some other source and its character (e.g., 001100 represents state operations in the Budget Act))

0044Fund Code (e.g., 0044 represents the Motor Vehicle Account, State Transportation Fund)

(2)Appropriation items are organized in Business Unit order.

(3)All the appropriation items, reappropriation items, and reversion items, if any, for each Business Unit are adjacent to one another.

(4)Federal funds received by the state and deposited in the State Treasury are appropriated in separate items.

(c)The Department of Finance may authorize revisions to the codes or structures used in this act or used in other spending authority outside of this act to provide compatibility between the codes or structures used in this act or in other spending authority outside of this act and those used in the Governors Budget, in the records of the Controller in legacy systems, and in FI$Cal.

(d)Notwithstanding any other law, the Department of Finance may revise the schedule of any appropriation made in this act or in other spending authority outside of this act where the revision is of a technical nature and is consistent with legislative intent. These revisions may include, but shall not be limited to, the distribution of any unallocated amounts within an appropriation and the adjustment of schedules to facilitate departmental accounting operations. These revisions shall include a certification that the revisions comply with the intent and limitation of expenditures as appropriated by the Legislature.

(e)Notwithstanding any other law, and in accordance with legislative intent, the Department of Finance may authorize technical changes or corrections in FI$Cal or the Controllers legacy systems resulting from or related to the conversion or implementation of FI$Cal for the current or past fiscal years, including, but not limited to, any of the following:

(1)Corrections to errors inadvertently created during the data conversion process from legacy systems into FI$Cal.

(2)Corrections or changes related to renumbering of programs and capital outlay projects. FI$Cal requires a different numbering scheme for the programs, elements, components, and tasks and projects. A new set of numbers is being utilized in FI$Cal different from what is reflected in prior budget acts and other authorizing sources. A comprehensive crosswalk facilitates the translation from programs, elements, components, and tasks to programs and subprograms and projects.

(3)Corrections or changes necessary to ensure compatibility among the legacy systems of the Controller and departments, and with that of FI$Cal. Multiple coding systems and structures (or chart of accounts) are being utilized during the transition period and until all departments and the Controllers control functions are fully implemented in FI$Cal.

SEC. 1.51.

For purposes of this act, a citation to a budget act includes all acts amending that budget act.

SEC. 1.80.

(a)The following sums of money and those appropriated by any other sections of this act, or so much thereof as may be necessary unless otherwise provided herein, are hereby appropriated and available for encumbrance or expenditure for the use and support of the State of California for the 202526 fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026. All of these appropriations, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid out of the General Fund in the State Treasury and shall be available for liquidation of encumbrances in accordance with Section 16304.1 of the Government Code.

(b)All capital outlay appropriations and reappropriations, unless otherwise provided herein, are available as follows:

(1)Studies, preliminary plans, working drawings, and performance criteria appropriations are available for encumbrance or expenditure until June 30, 2026.

(2)All other capital outlay appropriations are available for encumbrance or expenditure until June 30, 2028.

(c)Whenever by constitutional or statutory provision the revenues or receipts of any institution, department, board, bureau, commission, officer, employee, or other agency, or any moneys in any special fund created by law therefor, are to be used for any proper purpose, expenditures shall be made therefrom for any such purpose only to the extent of the amount therein appropriated, unless otherwise stated herein.

(d)Appropriations for purposes not otherwise provided for herein that have been heretofore made by any existing constitutional or statutory provision shall continue to be governed thereby.
