Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday provided what he called a spending plan “of correction and normalcy” that relies greatly on tapping reserves and postponing programs to close a predicted $37.8 billion deficit however mostly spares California’s courts from cuts.
The 2024-25 costs proposition sets out a $5.2 billion budget for the judicial branch, consisting of $3 billion for high court operations. Newsom’s strategy includes $311 million for increasing court worker healthcare expenses, court house upkeep, self-help centers and other core branch operations. And it supplies $89.5 million for the brand-new Sixth District Court of Appeal court house in Sunnyvale.
