Prudent Budget Proposed by Governor for 2014-15By California Chamber of Commerce-Alert

2014 Mixer and Wake-Up Schedule

Balanced budget. No newtaxes. Rainy day reserve.Debt repayment.

These are phrases rarely asso-ciated with California’s fiscal out-look. But economics and politicshave intervened to apply thosephrases to today’s circum-stances.

Governor Edmund G. BrownJr. proposed a fiscal plan inJanuary that harvests the fruits ofthe state’s economic recovery,and mostly reinvests right backinto the state’s balance sheet.

California’s moderate eco-nomic recovery has proceededsteadily for the past year, butstate revenues have blossomed.

For the three fiscal yearsbetween 2012 and 2015, rev-enues are forecast to outpace ini-tial estimates by $6.3 billion,almost all from the personalincome tax.The reason: windfallcapital gains tax receipts from aroaring stock market andrebounding real estate market.

The temporary tax increasespassed in 2012 parlayed thesewindfall realizations into big taxreceipts.The same taxpayers real-izing capital gains profits alsowere the target of the taxincreases. Indeed, revenues fromcapital gains in 2014 will behigher than in 2007, even though

requiring anything from manufacturers ofconsumer products at all, much less impos-ing a huge fee to cover the costs of DPHhaving to read manufacturers’ responses.

SB 747 appears to be turning DPH into apublic health research agency, funded byemployers,without any end product.Althoughthe impact on employers will be smaller, themerits of the policy are now less clear.

Highly DuplicativeTo the extent that SB 747 envisions the

regulation of chemicals within consumerproducts that pose a risk of cancer or otherhealth epidemic, the program is duplica-tive. Consumer products already are subjectto regulation through Proposition 65,administered by the Office ofEnvironmental Health Hazard Assessment,and by the Safer Consumer ProductsRegulation run by the Department of ToxicSubstances Control (DTSC).

Virtually all consumer products areunder the regulatory authority of one orboth of these agencies and the criteria fortoxicity includes public health, not justenvironmental criteria.

In addition, food preparation safety isalready regulated by local public healthdirectors and inspectors, who coordinate

with the DPH Food and Drug Branch andthe U.S. Department of Agriculture. Foodsourcing safety also is regulated already bythe state Department of Food andAgriculture.Tobacco is regulated already byDPH, and alcohol by the U.S.Treasury Taxand Trade Bureau, and both also are cov-ered by Proposition 65.Toxic metals (lead,cadmium) are regulated in consumer prod-ucts by the DTSC.

Manufacturers also are subject to a num-ber of federal rules (for example,Food andDrug Administration,Consumer ProductSafety Commission,Environmental ProtectionAgency).Given this broad array of regulatoryprograms that exist to protect the publicfrom harm caused by consumer products, it isunclear what value would be obtained fromcreating a costly new reporting program.

Key VoteSB 747 passed Senate Health 5-2:Ayes: Beall (D-San Jose), De León (D-Los Angeles), DeSaulnier (D-Concord), Monning (D-Carmel),Pavley (D-Agoura Hills).Noes: Hernandez (D-West Covina),

Wolk (D-Davis).No Vote Recorded:Anderson (R-Alpine),Nielsen (R-Gerber).

MEETINGS & EVENTS FOR FEBRUARY & MARCH 2014 CHAMBER WAKE-UP VACAVILLE, MIXER, EVENTS AND RIBBON CUTTING

1. Wake-Up hosted by H&R Block, 2060 Harbison Drive,Vacaville

3. Ribbon Cutting for the Solano Community College Anex,2002 North Village Parkway, Vacaville

Another California Chamber ofCommerce-opposed “job killer” bill from2013 has been amended and the “jobkiller” designation has been removedbecause it no longer allows the stateDepartment of Public Health (DPH) toban products in California or requireemployers to change the way they mar-ket or manufacture their products.However, the CalChamber remainsopposed because the bill establishes anunworkable, costly, duplicative and bur-densome new program for consumerproducts.

SB 747 (DeSaulnier; D-Concord)allows DPH to request information fromselected manufacturers of consumerproducts the department determinescontribute to a significant public healthepidemic. It also allows the departmentto impose a fee of up to $20,000 permanufacturer to cover its costs.

SB 747 passed the Senate HealthCommittee on January 15 and will beconsidered by the Senate AppropriationsCommittee on January 21.

“The bill ignores the inherent com-plexity of the program’s undertaking,”CalChamber Policy Advocate MiraGuertin said in testimony to the SenateHealth Committee.“We believe this pro-gram is unworkable, burdensome,duplicative of other state and federal reg-ulatory programs, and creates a newavenue for product liability lawsuitsagainst manufacturers. Further, there isno end-goal in the legislation that war-rants such a threat to California manufac-turers.”

New Costs, BurdensSB 747 charges DPH with identifying

the largest manufacturers of consumerproducts that contribute to federally rec-ognized public health epidemics with afiscal impact on California’s publichealth system of $50 million or more.Once identified, those manufacturersthen may be required by DPH to preparean analysis identifying the public healthimpacts resulting from sale of the rele-vant consumer product in the state and alist of mitigation strategies sufficient toreduce those impacts.

Although the bill no longer imposesany mandates on DPH, the departmentstill would have the authority to targetvirtually any manufacturer of any con-sumer product it deems harmful andrequire a detailed analysis. In addition,DPH still has authority to impose a fee ofup to $20,000 on each manufacturer tocover the costs of reviewing the informa-tion the manufacturer provides.

To What End?Significantly, language indicating what

DPH should do with the information itgathers from manufacturers has beenremoved from the bill; DPH is no longerrequired to report to the health andbudget committees in the Legislature, andno longer has authority to require manu-facturers to implement any of their mitiga-tion strategies or ban a product from sale.

These changes are comforting in thatthe immediate threat to manufacturers ofconsumer products has been reduced,but it is now unclear why the state is

capital gains realizations were much lowerin 2014 than in 2007.

The steeply progressive nature ofCalifornia’s tax system will guarantee rapidrevenue growth as long as the taxes are ineffect and the economy grows.

Although they may be wealthy, upper-income taxpayers are relatively scarce. Only1% of income earners in California paymore than 40% of income taxes (in 2011).That ratio has only increased as the 2012tax increases have taken effect.Therefore, arelatively small number of taxpayers willhave a dominant effect on state revenues,and their decisions on whether and howmuch to do business in California will dis-proportionately affect the state’s fortunes.

The temporary tax increases and therecovering economy played the largest

roles in restoring fiscal health to California.But they don’t tell the whole story.

‘Live within Our Means’ Governor Brown has presided over

three budgets that are notable for their fru-gality.With the exception of spending onschools (which are constitutionally guaran-teed a generous share of new revenues),the Governor has kept the lid on spendingand rejected legislative overspending.Indeed, Governor Brown began his admin-istration in 2011 by reducing spending byabout $10 billion. He also inherited a bene-ficial legacy from Governor ArnoldSchwarzenegger—elimination of mostautomatic cost-of-living adjustments forstate programs, which has reduced some ofthe pressure for annual budget increases.

But just because a tax increase wascentral to producing balanced budgetsdoesn’t mean that new taxes will be thego-to policy in the future—at least accord-ing to the Governor.

“I don’t think this is the year for newtaxes,” said Brown.“I just think we need todo everything we can to live within ourmeans.”This statement was in response toa question about an oil severance tax, butis supported by the absence of any newtaxes in the budget proposal.

Multi-Year Goal A balanced budget is apparently a

multi-year goal for the administration,since a top fiscal priority is drawingdown debts and creating a rainy dayreserve.

Much of the windfall revenues fromcapital gains taxes will be used for one-time purposes:

• Making a deposit of $1.6 billion intothe state’s Rainy Day Reserve—thefirst such deposit in six years.

• Paying off early the EconomicRecovery Bonds, which were firstissued to cover budget deficits from2002: $1.6 billion.

• Repaying ahead of schedule loans fromspecial funds, including money back totransportation programs: $440 million.

• Eliminating deferral of scheduled pay-ments to school districts, which hadrequired schools to incur short-termdebt while waiting for state pay-ments: $6.1 billion.

The Governor also proposes to tweak aballot measure, scheduled for theNovember ballot, to enshrine a rainy dayreserve mandate in the state Constitution.His proposal would make some changesto the formula by which the reserve is cal-culated, and allows the reserve to be usedfor debt repayment, as well as economicdownturns.

The California Chamber of Commercehas supported past measures to createsuch a requirement, and will review theGovernor’s proposal closely when it isrevealed.

Much of the state’s long-term liabilitiesremain unaddressed.The administrationcalculates more than $217 billion inunfunded retirement liabilities for stateemployees, the University of Californiaand public school teachers. In addition,more than $100 million in additional infra-structure, maintenance and budget debtremain on the books.

Budget PrioritiesProgrammatically, the Governor main-

tains the priorities he has exhibited thepast three years.

• Public schools again receive themajor share of new General Fundspending: an additional $10 billion isdevoted to schools over the three fis-

cal years between 2012 to 2014.TheProposition 30 tax increase was soldto voters in 2012 on a promise torestore public school funds and bal-ance the state budget. So far, thosepriorities have driven state fiscal policy.

• Higher education spending is alsobeing restored, but more slowly. Statepolicy leaders’ top goal has been tohalt any tuition increase, which theyhave achieved. However, state fundsto support colleges and universitiesare increasing by about 5%, whichsystem leaders consider only a mildrestoration of prior cuts.

• Cap-and-trade auction revenues.One of the most contentious items inthe budget proposal will have noth-ing to do with general revenues orbudget deficits, but will directly con-cern how tax revenues from largeenergy users will be spent.The cap-and-trade auction has thrown off hun-dreds of millions in new revenuesover the past year; the new budget isthe first to propose how to spendthat revenue.The Governor intends the money—totaling $850 million—to be spent onhigh speed rail, subsidies for zero-emission vehicles, weatherization

projects for low-income residents,wetlands restoration, urban foresta-tion and many other energy and car-bon emission reduction projects.TheCal Chamber has challenged thelegality of the cap-and-trade auction,and therefore believes that the pro-ceeds of the auctions should not bespent, pending a final outcome of thelitigation.

• The Judicial Branch has sufferedsome of the deepest cuts in recentyears, resulting in less access to thecivil justice system.The Governorproposes restoring $105 million,which stops the worst of the bleed-ing, but will not prevent additionalservice reductions next year, accord-ing to the courts. Past cuts were off-set in part by using trial courtreserves, which no longer are available.

• A new local economic develop-ment proposal purports to providesome new, limited financing authorityfor local infrastructure projects. Localeconomic development has beendealt a serious blow with eliminationof redevelopment agencies and enter-prise zones.The administration pro-poses to expand the scope andstreamline formation of Infrastructure

Financing Districts to use propertytax increments from new develop-ment (not including property taxesdevoted to schools) under some lim-ited circumstances.There are manylegal and organizational hurdles tomaking this authority a practical tool,but the administration’s attention tothis local development financing voidis welcome.

• Statewide infrastructure invest-ment will benefit from the adminis-tration’s policy of using one-time rev-enues for one-time purposes.Theadministration is proposing morethan $800 million in one-time invest-ments in deferred maintenance proj-ects, primarily on highways and forschools and public buildings.However, the administration has notprovided a road map to financeother public works needs in trans-portation, public schools and waterfacilities.

• New health and welfare spendingwill be dominated by continuingescalation in the cost of the Medi-Calprogram, largely in response to imple-mentation of federal health carereform.The Governor also proposesproviding one of the first increases infamily welfare grants in many years.

Another California Chamber ofCommerce-opposed “job killer” bill from2013 has been amended and the “jobkiller” designation has been removedbecause it no longer allows the stateDepartment of Public Health (DPH) toban products in California or requireemployers to change the way they mar-ket or manufacture their products.However, the CalChamber remainsopposed because the bill establishes anunworkable, costly, duplicative and bur-densome new program for consumerproducts.

SB 747 (DeSaulnier; D-Concord)allows DPH to request information fromselected manufacturers of consumerproducts the department determinescontribute to a significant public healthepidemic. It also allows the departmentto impose a fee of up to $20,000 permanufacturer to cover its costs.

SB 747 passed the Senate HealthCommittee on January 15 and will beconsidered by the Senate AppropriationsCommittee on January 21.

“The bill ignores the inherent com-plexity of the program’s undertaking,”CalChamber Policy Advocate MiraGuertin said in testimony to the SenateHealth Committee.“We believe this pro-gram is unworkable, burdensome,duplicative of other state and federal reg-ulatory programs, and creates a newavenue for product liability lawsuitsagainst manufacturers. Further, there isno end-goal in the legislation that war-rants such a threat to California manufac-turers.”

New Costs, BurdensSB 747 charges DPH with identifying

the largest manufacturers of consumerproducts that contribute to federally rec-ognized public health epidemics with afiscal impact on California’s publichealth system of $50 million or more.Once identified, those manufacturersthen may be required by DPH to preparean analysis identifying the public healthimpacts resulting from sale of the rele-vant consumer product in the state and alist of mitigation strategies sufficient toreduce those impacts.

Although the bill no longer imposesany mandates on DPH, the departmentstill would have the authority to targetvirtually any manufacturer of any con-sumer product it deems harmful andrequire a detailed analysis. In addition,DPH still has authority to impose a fee ofup to $20,000 on each manufacturer tocover the costs of reviewing the informa-tion the manufacturer provides.

To What End?Significantly, language indicating what

DPH should do with the information itgathers from manufacturers has beenremoved from the bill; DPH is no longerrequired to report to the health andbudget committees in the Legislature, andno longer has authority to require manu-facturers to implement any of their mitiga-tion strategies or ban a product from sale.

These changes are comforting in thatthe immediate threat to manufacturers ofconsumer products has been reduced,but it is now unclear why the state is

capital gains realizations were much lowerin 2014 than in 2007.

The steeply progressive nature ofCalifornia’s tax system will guarantee rapidrevenue growth as long as the taxes are ineffect and the economy grows.

Although they may be wealthy, upper-income taxpayers are relatively scarce. Only1% of income earners in California paymore than 40% of income taxes (in 2011).That ratio has only increased as the 2012tax increases have taken effect.Therefore, arelatively small number of taxpayers willhave a dominant effect on state revenues,and their decisions on whether and howmuch to do business in California will dis-proportionately affect the state’s fortunes.

The temporary tax increases and therecovering economy played the largest

roles in restoring fiscal health to California.But they don’t tell the whole story.

‘Live within Our Means’ Governor Brown has presided over

three budgets that are notable for their fru-gality.With the exception of spending onschools (which are constitutionally guaran-teed a generous share of new revenues),the Governor has kept the lid on spendingand rejected legislative overspending.Indeed, Governor Brown began his admin-istration in 2011 by reducing spending byabout $10 billion. He also inherited a bene-ficial legacy from Governor ArnoldSchwarzenegger—elimination of mostautomatic cost-of-living adjustments forstate programs, which has reduced some ofthe pressure for annual budget increases.

But just because a tax increase wascentral to producing balanced budgetsdoesn’t mean that new taxes will be thego-to policy in the future—at least accord-ing to the Governor.

“I don’t think this is the year for newtaxes,” said Brown.“I just think we need todo everything we can to live within ourmeans.”This statement was in response toa question about an oil severance tax, butis supported by the absence of any newtaxes in the budget proposal.

Multi-Year Goal A balanced budget is apparently a

multi-year goal for the administration,since a top fiscal priority is drawingdown debts and creating a rainy dayreserve.

Much of the windfall revenues fromcapital gains taxes will be used for one-time purposes:

• Making a deposit of $1.6 billion intothe state’s Rainy Day Reserve—thefirst such deposit in six years.

• Paying off early the EconomicRecovery Bonds, which were firstissued to cover budget deficits from2002: $1.6 billion.

• Repaying ahead of schedule loans fromspecial funds, including money back totransportation programs: $440 million.

• Eliminating deferral of scheduled pay-ments to school districts, which hadrequired schools to incur short-termdebt while waiting for state pay-ments: $6.1 billion.

requiring anything from manufacturers ofconsumer products at all, much less impos-ing a huge fee to cover the costs of DPHhaving to read manufacturers’ responses.

SB 747 appears to be turning DPH into apublic health research agency, funded byemployers,without any end product.Althoughthe impact on employers will be smaller, themerits of the policy are now less clear.

Highly DuplicativeTo the extent that SB 747 envisions the

regulation of chemicals within consumerproducts that pose a risk of cancer or otherhealth epidemic, the program is duplica-tive. Consumer products already are subjectto regulation through Proposition 65,administered by the Office ofEnvironmental Health Hazard Assessment,and by the Safer Consumer ProductsRegulation run by the Department of ToxicSubstances Control (DTSC).

Virtually all consumer products areunder the regulatory authority of one orboth of these agencies and the criteria fortoxicity includes public health, not justenvironmental criteria.

In addition, food preparation safety isalready regulated by local public healthdirectors and inspectors, who coordinate

with the DPH Food and Drug Branch andthe U.S. Department of Agriculture. Foodsourcing safety also is regulated already bythe state Department of Food andAgriculture.Tobacco is regulated already byDPH, and alcohol by the U.S.Treasury Taxand Trade Bureau, and both also are cov-ered by Proposition 65.Toxic metals (lead,cadmium) are regulated in consumer prod-ucts by the DTSC.

Manufacturers also are subject to a num-ber of federal rules (for example,Food andDrug Administration,Consumer ProductSafety Commission,Environmental ProtectionAgency).Given this broad array of regulatoryprograms that exist to protect the publicfrom harm caused by consumer products, it isunclear what value would be obtained fromcreating a costly new reporting program.

Key VoteSB 747 passed Senate Health 5-2:Ayes: Beall (D-San Jose), De León (D-Los Angeles), DeSaulnier (D-Concord), Monning (D-Carmel),Pavley (D-Agoura Hills).Noes: Hernandez (D-West Covina),

Prudent Budget Proposed by Governor for 2014-15By California Chamber of Commerce-Alert

2014 Mixer and Wake-Up Schedule

Balanced budget. No newtaxes. Rainy day reserve.Debt repayment.

These are phrases rarely asso-ciated with California’s fiscal out-look. But economics and politicshave intervened to apply thosephrases to today’s circum-stances.

Governor Edmund G. BrownJr. proposed a fiscal plan inJanuary that harvests the fruits ofthe state’s economic recovery,and mostly reinvests right backinto the state’s balance sheet.

California’s moderate eco-nomic recovery has proceededsteadily for the past year, butstate revenues have blossomed.

For the three fiscal yearsbetween 2012 and 2015, rev-enues are forecast to outpace ini-tial estimates by $6.3 billion,almost all from the personalincome tax.The reason: windfallcapital gains tax receipts from aroaring stock market andrebounding real estate market.

The temporary tax increasespassed in 2012 parlayed thesewindfall realizations into big taxreceipts.The same taxpayers real-izing capital gains profits alsowere the target of the taxincreases. Indeed, revenues fromcapital gains in 2014 will behigher than in 2007, even though
