2020-21 State Budget Plan Finalized
Assemblymember Quirk-Silva Votes on the 2020-2021 State Budget
Sacramento, CA - Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Fullerton) joined her colleagues yesterday to present and vote on the Legislature’s proposed budget, SB 74. Last month, the Governor unveiled his May Revise budget proposal. The California Constitution provides that each house of the Legislature must adopt a balanced state budget by midnight on June 15. This year, the Senate and the Assembly came together to put forth a unified budget bill with priorities to stand strong to protect jobs, housing, education, health care and against steep cuts to vital services for children, families, seniors, and our most vulnerable populations.
“The economic outlook of our state looks much different than it did when the Governor’s initial state budget proposal was presented in January, said Assemblywoman Quirk-Silva. “Even though there are some differences between the Governor’s May Revise budget proposal and the unified Legislature proposal, we all understand that there will be tough choices that will affect everyone in some way or another through these tough economic times. But one thing is for sure, California is strong, and together we can overcome these obstacles, as we have done many times in our state’s history.”

Assemblywoman Quirk-Silva Returns to State Capitol to Tackle Budget and Legislation Related to COVID-19
Sacramento, CA – Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Fullerton) heads back to Sacramento as the State Assembly reconvenes today. While the state continues to be under the Governor’s shelter-in-place order, the Assemblywoman wants to make sure Californians receive the resources they need during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Legislature’s top priority is to pass the state budget. This is a critical time, as people have lost their jobs, businesses have closed, and children have been out of school. There are a lot of services and programs that will need funds and resources to help those most impacted by the pandemic.
“Our budget and legislation requests have shifted in order to address the growing concerns of the pandemic,” said Assemblywoman Quirk-Silva. “We have to provide critical funding with projected lower revenue resources. Nevertheless, I am pleased that the focus regarding homelessness, mental health, and education are still able to be addressed.”
