The Cal State Long Beach budget increase significantly increase in the next
year, which means more money for each of the university’s departments.
Over the years, the budget has been steadily increasing, but Budget Director
Candie Sage-horn said nothing is finalized yet. Although, the school is expecting
an estimated $12 million increase in the new budget.
The budget approval is a long process which is submitted to the governor, who
then submits the proposed budget in January. The budget bill is then introduced
to the Legislature and prepared for analysis and overview.
The bill then goes through the Senate and budget committees. After this process,
the governor then submits a “May Revise.” The Budget Conference
Committee then reconciles and adopts the budget. Next the legislature votes
on the budget and finally the governor signs it.
The extra money in the school budget will be separated among each department
at CSULB. Each department has the decision of how it will then separate and
spend its share of the budget. Each department’s budget is based on’its
budget of the previous years.
