Budget Act of 2025.

SB 208 is a procedural bill that expresses the California Legislature's intent to make statutory changes to the upcoming Budget Act of 2025. It does not create new spending or tax policies but formally declares the Legislature's plan to develop the actual budget framework later. The bill directly affects the legislative process, signaling that future work will shape the state's budget structure. It passed the Senate unanimously (28-10) and is now moving to the Assembly for consideration. This is a preparatory step, not a substantive budget measure.
