ADVOCACY
The November election marked a significant milestone for California counties. With the passage of Proposition
30, counties have achieved constitutional guarantees to the funding that supports realignment and secured
safeguards against future program expansion without accompanying funding. With these provisions in place,
counties can continue to thoughtfully and responsibly implement the array of programs transferred under 2011
realignment, confident that funding is secure and programmatic responsibilities defined.
Over ayear-long process, CSAC negotiated with the Administration to achieve protections counties deemed
fundamental for local success of realignment. These protections cover about $6 billion in realignment revenue
and program obligations and allow for Iota[ flexibility in the administration of realigned public safety and health
and human services programs. In the end, counties embraced a partnership with the Administration focused on
meaningful solutions -solutions that can only be achieved with revenue stability and program flexibility.
