Governor Signs California Budget
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ended the 85 day budget stalemate today when he
signed a $103.4 billion general-fund spending plan.
This came after vetoing $510 million in line-item expenditures.
Nursing homes, community colleges and state vendors will again be for
services
Low-income elderly, blind and disabled, as well as welfare recipients, will
receive no state cost-of-living increases.
The wealthy and those required to file quarterly income tax will pay more
taxes in the first half of the next year and less in the second half.
As I mentioned in the previous post, and in my presentations, the Governor was holding off signing the bill containing the Medi-Cal Long-Term Care changes until he signed the new budget. Thus, expect SB 483 to be signed soon.
Once signed, Medi-Cal Long-Term Care laws will go into effect as soon as state regulations are
implemented and filed with the Secretary of State. This will take place
over the course of 2009.
