# California AB 1830 (20172018) — Budget Deficit Savings Account: Safety Net Reserve Fund.

Existing provisions of the California Constitution, approved by the electors on November, 4, 2014, establish the Budget Stabilization Account in the General Fund and require the Controller, on or before October 1 of the 2015–16 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, to transfer from the General Fund to the Budget Stabilization Account amounts that include a sum equal to 1.5% of the estimated amount of General Fund revenues for that fiscal year. These existing provisions prohibit for each fiscal year transfers to the account that would cause the balance in the account to exceed 10% of the amount of General Fund proceeds of taxes for the fiscal year, as estimated by the Department of Finance. These existing provisions authorize, for any fiscal year, General Fund proceeds of taxes that, but for the above prohibition, would have been transferred to the account, to be expended only for infrastructure, as prescribed.
