State Budget. Budget Stabilization Account. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.
- Requires annual transfer of 1.5% of general fund revenues to state budget stabilization account.
- Requires additional transfer of personal capital gains tax revenues exceeding 8% of general fund
revenues to budget stabilization account and, under certain conditions, a dedicated K–14 school
reserve fund.

unfunded liabilities.
- Allows limited use of funds in case of emergency or if there is a state budget deficit.
- Caps budget stabilization account at 10% of general fund revenues, directs remainder to

Summary of Legislative Analyst's Estimate of Net State and Local Government Fiscal Impact:
- Some existing state debts would be paid down faster, resulting in long-term savings for the state.
- Changes in the level of state budget reserves, which would depend on the economy and future
decisions by the Governor and the Legislature.
- Reserves kept by some school districts would be smaller.
