To the Citizens, Governor, and Members of the Legislature of the State of California:
I am pleased to submit the State of California’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. This report meets the requirements of Government Code section 12460
for an annual report prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and contains
information to help readers gain a reasonable understanding of California’s financial activities and
condition. The ability of the State Controller’s Office (SCO) to produce this report is dependent upon a
number of factors including a partnership with the California Department of Finance and our 203
reporting state entities. While there is no statutory deadline for publishing the ACFR, its completion
satisfies several compliance requirements for the State. This ACFR release represents the shortest
publication timeline in the SCO’s history and is reflective of my commitment to publish the 2024-25
ACFR on time in March of 2026.
California’s economic climate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, was marked by ongoing high
inflation, rising interest rates, a volatile stock market, job losses in high-wage sectors, and disruptions
from catastrophic weather events. The State ended the fiscal year with total General Fund revenues of
$192.4 billion and was supported by a strong internal borrowable cash position of $97.6 billion.
Since 2018, California has published its financial statements well beyond the regulatory target deadline.
As previously highlighted, when I assumed office in 2023, I determined early in my administration that
untimely financial statements were unacceptable. Consistent with the SCO’s purpose, I recognized that
timely, reliable, and sound financial reporting has long underpinned California’s financial stability, and
immediately established an aggressive goal of publishing an on-time ACFR in 2026. With an
unprecedented collaboration, referred to as “Team California,” with the Governor and his
administration, the Legislature, and the Department of Finance, we have made significant progress
towards achieving the goal. “Team California” has resulted in an ACFR governance structure and
operating model, standardized ACFR tasks, increased efficiencies through leveraging technology, and
substantive engagement with departments and agencies through technical assistance and training
regarding financial reporting.

As of the most recent ACFR publication in March of 2024, we have realized significant milestones in
our three-year path to timely submission of the ACFR. State departments and agencies have shown
significant improvements in the timely and accurate submission of their financial reports. My office is
now timely in publishing pension and other post-employment benefit schedules which support the
independent audits of state departments that issue bonds or conduct enterprise activities that are
ultimately reported in the ACFR. My office is also now current in obtaining and processing year-end
budgetary/legal financial statement for all funds. These milestones are all critical components necessary
to produce the ACFR, and because of “Team California’s” work we have realized a three month
improvement in our ACFR publication timeline since the publication of the prior ACFR earlier this year.
I extend my gratitude and appreciation to our “Team California” partners for prioritizing accountability
of the State’s finances through timely and accurate financial reporting. Thank you to the California
State Auditor and his team for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism as the independent
auditor of the State’s finances. Finally, I must also acknowledge and recognize the remarkable State
Accounting and Reporting Division in my office for always modeling our T.R.U.S.T.E.D. values and
executing on our purpose to move California forward so that everyone thrives, with completing this
complex financial report.
Sincerely,

Report Overview
General Overview
The State’s management assumes responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, and fairness of
information presented in the ACFR, including all disclosures, based on a comprehensive framework of
internal controls established for this purpose. The internal control structure is designed to provide
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatements.
The objective of these controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual
appropriated budget approved by the Legislature and Governor.
The California State Auditor has issued a modified opinion on certain components of the State’s basic
financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States, which warrants additional description:
• An unmodified opinion has been issued for the General Fund, Transportation Fund,
Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, Health Care Related Programs Fund, Water
Resources Fund, State Lottery Fund, California State University Fund, Unemployment Programs
Fund, aggregate remaining fund information, business-type activities within the
government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, and aggregate discretely
presented component units.
• A modified opinion, consisting of a qualified opinion, has been issued for the Balance Sheet and
Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance of the Federal Fund, and for
governmental activities within the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of
Activities.
The two modified opinions are the result of the State’s inability to provide the California State Auditor
with sufficient appropriate audit evidence to conclude that certain accounts in the aforementioned
financial statements are free from material misstatement. The modified opinions are the result of
ongoing financial accounting and reporting challenges experienced by one state department in
administering California’s unemployment insurance programs.
The State of California also is required to undergo an annual Single Audit in conformity with the
provisions of the United States Code of Federal Regulations, Title 2, Part 200, Subpart F, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. This report
is issued separately.
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s
report and contains an introduction, overview, and analysis of the financial statements. The MD&A also
contains information regarding California’s economy for the year ended June 30, 2023, and its economic
performance as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and beyond. The MD&A complements this
report overview and should be read in conjunction with it.
Profile of the State of California
The State of California was admitted to the Union on September 9, 1850. The State’s population, as of
2023, is estimated to be approximately 39 million residents. The State’s government is divided into three
branches: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Executive power is vested in the Governor. Other
members of the Executive branch include the Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of
State, State Treasurer, State Controller, Insurance Commissioner, and the State Superintendent of Public
v
Instruction. All officers of the Executive branch are elected to a four-year term. The Legislative branch
of government is the State’s law-making authority and is made up of two houses: the Senate and the
Assembly. The Judicial branch is charged with interpreting the laws of the State. It provides settlement
of disputes between parties in controversy, determines the guilt or innocence of those accused of
violating laws, and protects the rights of Californians.
California’s government includes control agencies that help to regulate internal governmental
operations. The State Controller’s Office, the State’s independent fiscal watchdog, ensures that the
State’s budget is spent properly, offers fiscal guidance to local governments, reports on the State’s
financial position, and uncovers fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars. The Department of Finance, part of
the Executive branch of government, establishes fiscal policies to carry out the State’s programs and
serves as the Governor’s chief fiscal policy advisor. The California State Auditor promotes the efficient
and effective management of public funds through independent evaluations of state and local
governments.
The State of California provides a wide range of services to its citizens, including social, health, and
human services; kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) and higher education; transportation; business,
consumer services, and housing; corrections and rehabilitation programs; and other general government
services. The State is also financially accountable for legally separate entities (component units) that
provide and support post-secondary education programs; provide financing for low and moderate
income housing and other public needs; promote agricultural activities; and provide financial assistance
to public agencies and small businesses. The State, through its related organizations (organizations for
which the primary government is not financially accountable), provides services such as the operation of
the statewide energy transmission grid; earthquake insurance for homeowners and renters; workers’
compensation insurance; health insurance for individuals, families, and employees of small businesses;
financing for pollution control facilities, and for acquiring, constructing, and equipping health facilities;
and loans to students attending public and private nonprofit colleges and universities. The financial
information of these institutions is not included in the State’s financial statements.
The State Legislature approves an annual budget that contains estimates of revenues and expenditures
for the ensuing fiscal year. This budget is the result of negotiations between the Governor and the
Legislature. The State Controller’s Office is statutorily responsible for controlling revenues due the
primary government and for expenditures of each appropriation contained in the budget. The State’s
annual budget is submitted by the Governor no later than January 10 preceding the beginning of the
fiscal year on July 1, and must be approved by the Legislature by June 15 each year. This annual budget
serves as the foundation for the State’s financial planning and control. Additional information on the
budgetary basis of accounting can be found in Note 2, Budgetary and Legal Compliance, in the
Budgetary Comparison Schedule at the end of the nonmajor governmental funds combining statements,
and in the Required Supplementary Information section of the ACFR that follows the Notes to the
Financial Statements.
Overview of the State’s Economy
California’s economy, the largest among the 50 states, accounted for 13.9% of the U.S. Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) in 2023 and continued to rank fifth largest in the world (in terms of GDP) at the end of
the year. Sectors of California’s diverse economy include technology, trade, entertainment,
manufacturing, government, tourism, construction, and services. California’s GDP totaled $3.8 trillion at
fiscal year-end and, as the nation’s leader in agricultural production, the state’s farming operations
generated approximately $55.9 billion in cash receipts for the 2022 crop year. In 2023, California
exported $178.7 billion in products; its three largest export markets are Mexico ($33.3 billion), Canada
($19.1 billion), and China ($16.9 billion). California’s six largest exports are computer and electronic
products, machinery (except electrical), chemicals, transportation equipment, agricultural products, and
miscellaneous manufactured commodities. California enjoys one of the finest and most diverse
collections of natural, cultural, and recreational resources in the nation. In 2023, California’s travel and
vi
tourism industry generated revenues of $150.4 billion, a 5.6% increase over the previous year and
travel-generated state and local tax revenues of $12.7 billion, a 3.7% increase over the previous year.
The increase was primarily as a result of increased prices of goods and services due to inflation.
Budget Outlook
Fiscal Year 2023-24
The Governor’s enacted 2023-24 Budget proposed to address the revenue shortfall caused by a declining
stock market, persistently high inflation, rising interest rates, and job losses in high-wage sectors. The
Budget provided balanced solutions to protect core State programs and services and preserve
investments in the programs essential to millions of Californians. This included protecting commitments
to address education, affordable housing, homelessness, healthcare, climate change, infrastructure, and
public safety. The Budget also supported water, transportation, and clean energy projects, and continued
to build budgetary reserves. The enacted Budget projected General Fund revenues of $208.7 billion and
set aside a record $37.8 billion in budgetary reserves to put California on strong fiscal footing to better
withstand future economic downturns or revenue declines.
Fiscal Year 2024-25
California enacted the 2024-25 Budget Act on June 26, 2024. After the tumultuous conditions caused by
the pandemic, the State’s economy quickly recovered and revenue volatility stabilized; however, the
pandemic was followed by a statewide flooding disaster in early 2023, resulting in an unprecedented
emergency tax filing and payment postponement, that delayed critical General Fund cash receipts by
more than six months. As a result, the Budget faced anticipated shortfalls, necessitating cuts, reductions,
and pauses in order to keep the State on a fiscally responsible long-term path and protect essential
programs assisting millions of Californians while minimizing the use of critical operating reserves. By
the end of the fiscal year 2024-25, the Budget estimates a decrease in total reserves by $15.6 billion, to
$22.2 billion, consisting of $17.6 billion in the Budget Stabilization Account, $1.1 billion in the Public
School System Stabilization Account, and $3.5 billion in the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties.
The 2024-25 Budget projects General Fund revenue of $212.1 billion ($225.6 billion after transfers) and
expenditures of $211.5 billion. The Budget anticipates increased revenues from personal income taxes,
sales and use taxes, and corporation taxes. Personal income taxes are estimated to contribute to the
majority of General Fund revenue, at 56.2% ($116.6 billion); corporation taxes are estimated to
contribute 20.5% ($42.6 billion); and sales and use taxes are estimated to contribute 16.4%
($34.0 billion).
Long-term Financial Planning
Long-term financial planning issues and initiatives that will affect the State’s long-term financial goals
include the following:
• California’s economy remains strong and resilient despite persistent inflation and elevated
interest rates. The 2024-25 Budget reflects a solid increase in overall expected General Fund
revenues of 8.9% from the prior year, and the State’s “Big Three” General Fund revenue sources
—personal income taxes, sales taxes, and corporation taxes—are projected to increase by 8.6%
from the prior year. The Budget anticipates that fiscal year 2024-25 personal income tax
revenues will increase from $111.2 billion in the previous fiscal year to $116.5 billion, sales and
use tax revenues will increase from $33.3 billion to $34.0 billion, and corporation tax revenues
will increase from $33.3 billion to $42.6 billion.
• The Consumer Price Index increased 3.0% during the year ended June 30, 2024. The food index
increased 2.2%, and the shelter index increased 5.2%. The energy index increased by only 1.0%,
vii
following a steep decrease of 16.7% in the prior year to correct for soaring pandemic energy
price increases of over 40%.
• Between March 17, 2022, and July 27, 2023, the Federal Reserve Board increased interest rates
by 525 basis points. Since July 27, 2023, the Federal Reserve Board has decreased interest rates
by 75 basis points, with the last decrease on November 8, 2024. The net increase in interest rates
of 450 basis points will continue to impact the State’s future cost of borrowing.
• The 2024 Budget Act reflects the State’s commitment to addressing the unfunded pension
liabilities over the long term. The Budget includes $337 million in one-time supplemental
Proposition 2 debt repayment funding to further reduce the unfunded liabilities of the State’s
pension plans. Depending on the availability of Proposition 2 funding, an additional $3.0 billion
is projected to be paid to CalPERS over the next three fiscal years to fund the State’s pension
liabilities.
• The State’s employee bargaining units and excluded and exempt employees prefund retiree
health benefits. As of June 30, 2023, more than $6.8 billion was set aside in a prefunding trust
fund to pay future retiree health benefits. The trust fund is expected to approach $10.8 billion in
assets by the end of fiscal year 2024-25.
• The 2023 fire season saw a substantial decrease in the number and magnitude of wildfires in the
state, with approximately 333,000 acres burned. The 2024 fire season was more significant, with
over 1.0 million acres burned. Both years were well below the five-year average of 2.3 million
acres burned per year. The 2024-25 Budget Act maintains $2.6 billion in investments over seven
years to restore forest and wildland health and reduce risk of future catastrophic wildfires.
• After three consecutive years of drought conditions, California experienced record flooding due
to a series of atmospheric river storms during December 2022 and January 2023. The 2024-25
Budget Act maintains $6.7 billion of investments committed in the 2021 and 2022 Budget Acts
over multiple years to enhance the state’s capacity to withstand droughts and floods.

in all material respects, the financial position of Governmental Activities and the Federal Fund of the

activities, aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund except for the Federal
Fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the State of California, as of June 30, 2023,
and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year

We did not audit the financial statements of the following:
Government-wide Financial Statements
• Certain governmental funds that, in the aggregate, represent 1 percent of the assets and deferred
outflows, and less than 1 percent of the revenues of the governmental activities.
• Certain enterprise funds that, in the aggregate, represent 85 percent of the assets and deferred
outflows, and 60 percent of the revenues of the business-type activities.
• The University of California and the California Housing Finance Agency that represent 92
percent of the assets and deferred outflows, and 94 percent of the revenues of the discretely
presented component units.
Fund Financial Statements
• The following major enterprise funds: Water Resources, State Lottery, and California State
University.
• The Golden State Tobacco Securitization Corporation, the Public Building Construction, the
Public Employees’ Retirement, the State Teachers’ Retirement, the State Water Pollution Control
Revolving, the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving, and the 1943 Veterans Farm and Home
Building funds, that represent 87 percent of the assets and deferred outflows, and 52 percent of
the additions, revenues and other financing sources of the aggregate remaining fund information.
• The discretely presented component units noted above.
The related financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to
us, and our opinions, insofar as they relate to the amounts included for those funds and entities, are
based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
Basis for Qualified and Unmodified Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States of America. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Statements section of our report. The financial statements of the Golden State Tobacco
Securitization Corporation, the Public Building Construction fund, the State Lottery fund, and the
Campus Foundations of the University of California, which represents 14 percent of university’s total
assets and deferred outflows, and 4 percent of its revenues, were not audited in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards.
We are required to be independent of the State of California, and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
qualified and unmodified audit opinions.
Matter Giving Rise to the Qualified Opinions on Governmental Activities and the Federal Fund
The Employment Development Department had inadequate internal control over its financial
reporting for federally funded unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, including not properly
estimating the total population of ineligible payments. As a result, the department was unable to
provide complete and accurate information for certain accounts within the federally funded portion
of its UI program. We were therefore unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to
conclude that the department’s balances representing 100 percent of Other Liabilities within the
Federal Fund are free from material misstatement.
The issues pertaining to the Federal Fund also affect Governmental Activities. Therefore, we were
unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence about the Federal Fund balances that
represent 98 percent of Other Current Liabilities within Governmental Activities.
Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2023, the State of California implemented
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public
Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements and Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based
Information Technology Arrangements and restated the beginning net balances for its effect. Our
opinions are not modified with respect to these matters.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the State of California’s
ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months beyond the financial statement date, including
any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute
assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered
material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence
the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government
Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the State of California’s internal control. Accordingly, no such
opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the State of California’s ability to continue as a
going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-
related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management’s discussion and analysis, and other required supplementary information as listed in the
table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. We and other auditors have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the
basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information
because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or
provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the State of California’s basic financial statements. The combining financial
statements and schedules of nonmajor and other funds are presented for the purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures by us and other auditors, including comparing and reconciling such information directly
to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the
basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures, in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, based on our audit and
the reports of the other auditors, the combining financial statements and schedules of nonmajor and
other funds are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other
information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not
cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and
the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other
information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we will issue a separate report on our
consideration of the State of California’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of
its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, and other
matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion
on the effectiveness of the State of California’s internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards in considering the State of California’s internal control over financial reporting
and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis is required supplementary information to the
State of California’s financial statements. It describes and analyzes the financial position of the State,
providing an overview of the State’s activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. We encourage
readers to consider the information that we present here in conjunction with the information presented in
the Controller’s transmittal letter at the front of this report and in the State’s financial statements and
notes, which follow this section.
Financial Highlights – Primary Government
Government-wide Highlights
After a two-year span of unprecedented General Fund revenue growth, California faced an inevitable
reduction in its revenue in fiscal year 2022-23. General revenues, comprised primarily of taxes,
decreased by $6.9 billion (2.9%), compared to the increase of $6.6 billion (2.9%) recorded for
fiscal year 2021-22. This slowdown in revenue performance was attributable to a combination of global
economic challenges and shifting market dynamics. As the Federal Reserve aggressively raised interest
rates to combat soaring inflation, borrowing costs for consumers and businesses escalated alongside the
consumer price index, which together dampened spending and investment. This inflationary pressure
ultimately contributed to a sharp stock market decline and decreased tax collections from
high-income-earning Californians, whose strong capital gains and stock-based compensation played a
major role in the State’s prior-year tax collection increases. Still, through prudent planning and a
commitment to building operating reserves in previous budgets, California was in a fiscally responsible
position to address fiscal year 2022-23 downturn. As of June 30, 2023, the Budget Stabilization
Account, California’s “Rainy Day Fund,” held reserves of $22.3 billion, and accounted for a significant
portion of the State’s $35.6 billion in total budgetary reserves. Expenses and transfers for the State’s
governmental activities were reduced by $14.1 billion (3.3%) to accommodate for the lost revenue, and
were less than total revenues received, resulting in a $6.1 billion increase in the governmental activities’
net position, as restated. Total revenues and transfers for the State’s business-type activities also
exceeded expenses, resulting in a $1.8 billion increase in the business-type activities’ net position, as
restated, for fiscal year 2022-23.
Net Position – Activity for fiscal year 2022-23 reflects a combined $7.9 billion increase in the primary
government’s net position. Beginning net position included significant restatements related to the State’s
unemployment programs, which resulted in an increase in the beginning net position of governmental
activities of $9.1 billion, and a decrease in beginning net position of business-type activities of
$207 million. Beginning net position was also restated as a result of the implementation of
GASB Statement No. 94, Public-Private And Public-Public Partnerships And Availability Payment
Arrangements, which was established to improve financial reporting of public-private partnerships,
public-public partnerships, and availability payment arrangements. As a result of the implementation,
the primary government’s beginning net position increased by $594 million. GASB Statement No. 96,
Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements, which established uniform accounting and
reporting guidance for information technology arrangements, also contributed $42 million to the
restatement of the beginning net position. See Note 1 for additional details related to restatements.
The primary government ended fiscal year 2022-23 with a deficit net position of $37.9 billion, an
increase of $7.9 billion (17.2%) from the previous year, as restated. The total deficit net position is
7
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
reduced by $134.9 billion for net investment in capital assets and by $76.5 billion for restricted net
position, yielding a negative unrestricted net position of $249.4 billion. Restricted net position is
dedicated for specified uses and is not available to fund current activities. Approximately 71.1%, or
$177.3 billion, of the negative $249.4 billion unrestricted net position consists of unfunded,
employee-related, long-term liabilities (net pension liability, net OPEB liability, and compensated
absences) that are recognized as soon as an obligation occurs, even though payment will occur over
many future periods. In addition, the State’s outstanding bonded debt consists of $65.9 billion to build
capital assets of school districts and other local governmental entities. Bonded debt reduces the State’s
unrestricted net position; however, local governments, not the State, own the capital assets that would
normally offset this reduction.
Fund Highlights
Governmental Funds – As of June 30, 2023, the primary government’s governmental funds reported a
combined ending fund balance of $75.5 billion, a decrease of $1.3 billion over the prior fiscal year fund
balance, as restated. The unrestricted fund balance, comprised of committed, assigned, and unassigned
balances, was $5.0 billion, a decrease of $0.2 billion from the prior fiscal year unrestricted fund balance
of $5.2 billion. The nonspendable and restricted fund balances were $4.0 billion and $66.5 billion,
respectively.
Proprietary Funds – As of June 30, 2023, the primary government’s proprietary funds reported a
combined ending deficit net position of $18.8 billion, an increase of $2.2 billion from the prior fiscal
year, as restated. The total net position is reduced by $4.2 billion for net investment in capital assets,
expendable restrictions of $10.1 billion, and nonexpendable restrictions of $2 million, yielding a
negative unrestricted net position of $33.1 billion.
Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities
As of June 30, 2023, the primary government’s noncurrent assets totaled $193.9 billion, of which
$171.6 billion is related to capital assets. State highway infrastructure assets of $83.7 billion represent
the largest portion of the State’s capital assets, while buildings and other depreciable property are the
second largest portion at a total of $59.7 billion.
The primary government’s noncurrent liabilities totaled $298.6 billion, which consists of $177.2 billion
in unfunded employee-related future obligations, $75.4 billion in general obligation bonds, $29.3 billion
in revenue bonds, and $16.7 billion in other noncurrent liabilities. During fiscal year 2022-23, the
primary government’s noncurrent liabilities increased by $25.9 billion (9.5%) from the previously
reported noncurrent liabilities. The net increase in noncurrent liabilities is driven by an increase of
$35.7 billion in net pension liability, which was offset by a decrease of $12.5 billion in net other
postemployment benefits liability.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is an introduction to the section presenting the State’s basic financial
statements, which includes four components: (1) government-wide financial statements,
(2) fund financial statements, (3) discretely presented component units financial statements, and
(4) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains required supplementary information, and
combining financial statements and schedules intended to furnish additional detail that supports the basic
financial statements.
8
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Government-wide Financial Statements
Government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
State’s finances. The government-wide financial statements do not include fiduciary programs and
activities of the primary government and component units because fiduciary resources are not available
to support state programs.
The statements provide both short-term and long-term information about the State’s financial position to
help readers assess the State’s economic condition at the end of the fiscal year. These statements are
prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, similar
to methods used by most businesses. These statements take into account all revenues and expenses
connected with the fiscal year, regardless of when the State received or paid the cash. The
government-wide financial statements include two statements: the Statement of Net Position and the
Statement of Activities.
• The Statement of Net Position presents all of the State’s financial and capital resources in a format in
which assets and deferred outflows of resources equal liabilities and deferred inflows of resources,
plus net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position indicate whether the financial
position of the State is improving or deteriorating.
• The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the State’s net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. The State reports changes in net position as soon as the event
giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Thus, this
statement reports revenues and expenses for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal
periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). This statement also presents a
comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the State.
The government-wide financial statements separate into different columns the three types of state
programs and activities—governmental activities, business-type activities, and component units.
• Governmental activities are mostly supported by taxes, such as personal income and sales and use
taxes, and intergovernmental revenues, primarily federal grants. Most services and expenses
normally associated with state government fall into this activity category, including general
government; education (public K–12 schools and institutions of higher education); health and human
services; natural resources and environmental protection; business, consumer services, and housing;
transportation; corrections and rehabilitation; and interest on long-term debt.
• Business-type activities typically recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees
and charges to external users of goods and services. The business-type activities of the State of
California include providing unemployment insurance programs, providing housing loans to
California veterans, providing water to local water districts, providing services to California State
University students, selling California State Lottery tickets, selling electric power, and providing
wildfire prevention programs. These activities are conducted with minimal financial assistance from
the governmental activities or general revenues of the State.
• Component units are organizations that are legally separate from the State, but for which the State is
financially accountable, or whose relationship with the State is so significant that their exclusion
9
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
would cause the State’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Various types of
component units are presented; all are legally separate. However, blended component units function
as part of the State’s operations. Fiduciary component units are primarily the resources and
operations of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and the California
State Teachers’ Retirement System. Discretely presented component units contain some form of
accountability either from or to the State.
Most component units prepare their own separately issued financial statements. For information
regarding obtaining the financial statements of the individual component units, refer to Note 1A,
Reporting Entity.
Fund Financial Statements
The State of California, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal and contractual requirements. A fund is a grouping of
related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific
activities or objectives. All of the funds of the State may be divided into three categories: governmental
funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
• Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions that are reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on short-term
inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available
at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s short-term
financing requirements. This approach is known as the flow of current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. These governmental fund
statements provide a detailed short-term view of the State’s finances, enabling readers to determine
whether adequate financial resources exist to meet the State’s current needs.
Because governmental fund financial statements provide a narrower focus than do government-wide
financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with
similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s short-term
financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities. Primary differences between the
government-wide and fund-based statements relate to noncurrent assets, such as land and buildings, and
noncurrent liabilities, such as bonded debt and amounts owed for net pension liability, compensated
absences, and capital lease obligations. These amounts are reported in the government-wide statements
but not in the fund-based statements.
• Proprietary funds show activities that operate more like those found in the private sector. The State
of California has two proprietary fund types—enterprise funds and internal service funds.
◦ Enterprise funds record activities for which a fee is charged to external users; they are presented
as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements.
10
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
◦ Internal service funds accumulate and allocate costs internally among the State’s various
functions. For example, internal service funds provide public buildings construction, information
technology, printing, fleet management, and architectural services primarily for state
departments. As a result, their activity is considered governmental.
• Fiduciary funds account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the State. Fiduciary
funds and the activities of fiduciary component units are not reflected in the government-wide
financial statements because the resources of these funds are not available to support state programs.
The accounting used for fiduciary funds and similar component units is similar to that used for trusts.
Discretely Presented Component Units Financial Statements
The State has financial accountability for discretely presented component units, which have certain
independent qualities and operate in a similar manner to private sector businesses. The activities of the
discretely presented component units are classified as enterprise activities.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes to the financial statements in this publication provide additional information that is essential
for a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The
notes to the financial statements, which describe particular accounts in more detail, immediately follow
the discretely presented component units’ financial statements.
Required Supplementary Information
A section of required supplementary information follows the notes to the basic financial statements in
this publication. This section includes several schedules of information for the State’s pension and
OPEB plans and the State’s contributions to those plans; information on infrastructure assets based on
the modified approach; a budgetary comparison schedule; and a reconciliation of the budgetary basis
and the GAAP basis fund balances for the major governmental funds presented in the governmental fund
financial statements.
Combining Financial Statements and Schedules
The Combining Financial Statements and Schedules – Nonmajor and Other Funds section presents
combining statements that provide separate financial statements for nonmajor governmental funds,
nonmajor proprietary funds, fiduciary funds, and nonmajor component units as supplementary
information. The basic financial statements present only summary information for these activities.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
Net Position
The primary government’s combined deficit net position (governmental and business-type activities
improved by $7.9 billion (17.2%), from a negative $45.8 billion, as restated, to a negative $37.9 billion
at June 30, 2023. As previously mentioned, the net position at the beginning of fiscal year 2022-23 was
restated as a result of the implementation of GASB Statement No. 94, and there were significant
restatements to the Federal Fund and Unemployment Programs Fund due to error corrections in
accounting for the State’s unemployment programs.
11
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
The primary government’s $134.9 billion net investment in capital assets, such as land, buildings,
equipment, and infrastructure (roads, bridges, and other immovable assets), comprise a significant
portion of its net position. This amount of capital assets is net of any outstanding debt used to acquire
those assets. The State uses capital assets when providing services to citizens; consequently, these assets
are not available for future spending. Although the State’s investment in capital assets is reported net of
related debt, the resources needed to repay this debt must come from other sources because the State
cannot use the capital assets to pay off the liabilities.
The primary government’s deficit net position includes another $76.5 billion, which represents resources
that are externally restricted as to how they may be used, such as resources pledged to debt service. The
internally imposed earmarking of resources is not presented in this publication as restricted net position.
As of June 30, 2023, the primary government’s combined unrestricted deficit net position was
$249.4 billion—$218.2 billion for governmental activities and $31.1 billion for business-type activities.
Table 1 presents condensed financial information derived from the Statement of Net Position for the
primary government.

Note: Prior-year adjustments recorded in the current year have not been reflected in the prior-year column.
A significant factor contributing to the unrestricted net deficit is that governments recognize a liability
on the government-wide Statement of Net Position as soon as an obligation occurs, while financing and
budgeting functions focus on when a liability will be paid. As of June 30, 2023, the primary government
12
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
recognized $177.3 billion (71.1% of the $249.4 billion unrestricted net deficit) in unfunded
employee-related obligations—net pension liability, net OPEB liability and compensated absences. In
addition, the primary government recognized $65.9 billion in outstanding bonded debt issued to build
capital assets for school districts and other local governmental entities, a common state practice
nationwide. As the State does not own these capital assets, neither the assets nor the related bonded debt
is included in the portion of net position reported as net investment in capital assets. Instead, the bonded
debt is reported as a noncurrent liability that increases the State’s unrestricted deficit net position. The
State can expect continued deficits in the unrestricted net position of governmental activities as long as it
has significant unfunded employee-related obligations and outstanding obligations for school districts
and other local governmental entities.

The expenses of the primary government totaled $441.9 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
Of this amount, $222.0 billion (50.2%) was funded with program revenues (charges for services or
program-specific grants and contributions), leaving a $219.9 billion to be funded with general revenues
(mainly taxes). The primary government’s general revenues of $227.8 billion were greater than the
unfunded expenses. As a result, the total net position, as restated, increased by $7.9 billion, or 17.2%.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Governmental Activities
During fiscal year 2022-23, governmental activities’ expenses and transfers totaled $410.5 billion.
Program revenues totaling $188.8 billion, including $149.1 billion in federal grants and contributions,
funded 46.0% of expenses and transfers, leaving $221.7 billion to be funded with general revenues
(mainly taxes). General revenues for governmental activities of $227.7 billion exceeded net unfunded
expenses and transfers by $6.1 billion resulting in the governmental activities’ deficit net position of
$20.3 billion, after restatement, as of June 30, 2023, on par with the prior year’s restated deficit net
position of $26.4 billion.

Program Revenues Expenses
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, total governmental activities’ revenue was $416.5 billion, a
decrease of 6.1% from the prior year. General revenues decreased by $6.9 billion (2.9%), to
$227.7 billion, and program revenues decreased by $19.9 billion (9.5%), to $188.8 billion. Corporation
taxes rose marginally, by $835 million (2.3%) over the prior year due to growth in retail sales earnings.
Sales and use taxes increased by $1.1 billion (2.2%) from the prior year due to an increase in consumer
spending in services which also increased tax revenues. Personal income taxes decreased by
$11.5 billion (9.1%) from the prior year in fiscal year 2022-23, compared to a decrease of $6.0 billion
(4.5%) for fiscal year 2021-22. The decrease occurred despite an overall positive job market. This could
be attributed in part to a slump in employee compensation levels due to the economic uncertainty of the
15

pandemic and significantly fewer corporate initial public offerings (IPOs) to fuel individual
investment earnings.

Overall, expenses for governmental activities decreased by $14.7 billion (3.5%) from the prior year. The
largest decrease in expenditures, $13.8 billion (35.6%), occurred in general government, and $8.0 billion
(7.3%) in education expenditures; these decreases were partially offset by increases in other activities.
The general government expenditures decreased due to a reduction in one-time spending programs and a
focus on core budget priorities to align with the reduction in anticipated revenues. The decrease in
education expenditures was due to a decrease in the State’s minimum funding guarantee for K-12
education and community colleges based on lower estimated General Fund revenues in fiscal
year 2022-23.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Business-type Activities
As of June 30, 2023, business-type activities’ expenses totaled $37.4 billion. Program revenues of
$33.2 billion, primarily generated from charges for services, and $6.0 billion in transfers, exceeded
business-type activities expenses. As a result, the business-type activities’ total deficit net position
improved by $1.8 billion over the prior-year’s restated deficit net position of $19.5 billion, to a net
deficit of $17.7 billion at June 30, 2023.

Fund Financial Analysis
The financial position of the State’s governmental funds declined in fiscal year 2022-23, with a
combined fund balance decrease of $1.3 billion from the prior year’s restated ending fund balance.
Governmental funds rely heavily on taxes to support the majority of the State’s services and programs.
The State’s “Big Three” tax revenues (personal income, sales and use, and corporation) had a combined
net decrease during the fiscal year, primarily due to a sharp decline in personal income taxes. The
proprietary funds’ total net position increased by $2.2 billion during fiscal year 2022-23—comprised of
a $1.8 billion increase for enterprise funds, as well as a $443 million increase for internal service funds.
The increase in the enterprise funds’ net position includes a net position increase of $1.8 billion for the
California State University, driven largely by subsidies, and a net position decrease of $230 million in
17
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
the Unemployment Programs Fund to a deficit balance of $12.1 billion. The deficit net position for
Unemployment Programs is due to the programs’ inability to confirm eligibility for unemployment
benefits claims.
Governmental Funds
As of June 30, 2023, the governmental funds’ balance sheet reported $260.1 billion in assets,
$184.6 billion in liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, and fund balances totaling $75.5 billion.
Total assets of governmental funds decreased by 9.9%, while total liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources decreased by 16.1%, which yielded a net fund balance decrease of $1.3 billion.
Within the governmental funds’ total fund balance, $4.0 billion is classified as nonspendable, as this
amount consists of long-term interfund receivables, loans receivable, and legal or contractual
requirements. Another $66.4 billion is classified as restricted for specific programs by external
constraints such as debt covenants and contractual obligations, or by constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation. Furthermore, $20.4 billion of the total fund balance is classified as committed for
specific purposes and $20.8 billion is classified as assigned for specific purposes. The remaining
unassigned balance of the governmental funds is a deficit of $36.1 billion — $17.0 billion less than the
unassigned balance from the prior fiscal year.
The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of the governmental funds
reported $416.3 billion in revenues, $423.1 billion in expenditures, and $5.4 billion in net receipts from
other financing sources. The ending fund balance of the governmental funds for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2023, was $75.5 billion, a $1.3 billion decrease from the prior year’s restated ending fund
balance of $76.8 billion.
Governmental funds’ revenue consists primarily of taxes (53.8%) and intergovernmental
revenue (36.4%). Personal income taxes accounted for 51.1% of tax revenues, a decrease of
$11.5 billion from the prior fiscal year. Sales and use taxes accounted for 23.9% of tax revenues, an
increase of $1.2 billion over the prior fiscal year. Corporation taxes accounted for 16.4% of tax
revenues, an increase of $838 million over the prior fiscal year. Intergovernmental revenue, primarily
from the federal government, plummeted by $23.6 billion (13.5%) from the prior fiscal year as funding
from the American Rescue Plan Act was exhausted.
Governmental funds’ expenditures decreased by $22.3 billion (5.0%) from the prior fiscal year. The
decrease is mainly due to a decline in general government expenditures of $14.8 billion (33.5%). The
overall decrease in governmental funds’ expenditures also consists of a decrease in education
expenditures of $10.2 billion (9.1%), and bond and commercial paper retirement expenditures of
$3.2 billion (23.5%) from the prior fiscal year. Proposition 98 outlines the constitutional requirements
that provide a minimum funding guarantee to support California’s K-12 schools and community
colleges. The minimum funding guarantee decreased as a result of decreased General Fund revenue in
fiscal year 2022-23 impacting expenditures.

The State’s major governmental funds are the General Fund, the Federal Fund, the Transportation Fund,
the Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, and the Health Care Related Programs Fund. The
General Fund ended the fiscal year with a fund balance of $64.0 billion, a decrease of $9.1 billion from
the prior year’s fund balance, as restated. The Federal Fund ended the year with a negative fund balance
of $45.2 billion, while the Transportation Fund, the Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, and the
Health Care Related Programs Fund ended the fiscal year with fund balances of $10.8 billion,
$20.7 billion, and $2.0 billion, respectively. The nonmajor governmental funds ended the fiscal year
with a combined fund balance of $23.2 billion.
General Fund: As shown on the Balance Sheet, the General Fund (the State’s main operating fund)
ended fiscal year 2022-23 with assets of $133.6 billion; liabilities and deferred inflows of resources of
$69.6 billion; and nonspendable, restricted, committed, and assigned fund balances of $4.0 billion,
$24.8 billion, $4.2 billion, and $20.7 billion, respectively. This left the General Fund with an unassigned
fund balance of $10.3 billion, a decrease of $26.2 billion from the prior year. Total assets of the General
Fund decreased by $34.9 billion (20.7%) from the prior fiscal year, and total liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources decreased by $24.9 billion (26.3%) over the prior year.

As shown on the Statement of Revenue, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances, General Fund
expenditures exceeded revenues by $1.4 billion $192.4 billion in revenues and $191.0 billion in
expenditures). Approximately $182.5 billion (94.8%) of General Fund revenue is derived from the
State’s largest three taxes—personal income taxes ($112.7 billion), corporation taxes ($36.7 billion), and
the sales and use taxes ($33.1 billion). A total of $494 million in revenue is included in the General
Fund as a result of fund classifications made to comply with generally accepted governmental
accounting principles. These revenues are not considered General Fund revenues for any budgetary
purposes or for the State’s Budgetary/Legal Basis Annual Report.
During fiscal year 2022-23, total General Fund revenue decreased by $6.7 billion (3.4%), mainly due to
a decrease in intergovernmental revenue and personal income taxes. Meanwhile, General Fund
expenditures increased by $0.1 billion (0.1%). The largest component of the expenditure increase was
health and human services, which rose by $13.4 billion. The General Fund ended the fiscal year with a
fund balance of $64.0 billion, a decrease of $9.1 billion from the prior year’s restated ending fund
balance of $73.1 billion. The General Fund’s ending fund balance includes $22.3 billion restricted for
budget stabilization if the Governor must declare a budget emergency during an economic crisis, such as
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Federal Fund: The Federal Fund reports federal grant revenues and the related expenditures to support
grant programs. The largest of these programs is for health and human services, including Medi-Cal and
unemployment programs, which accounted for $127.3 billion (85.9%) of the total $148.2 billion in fund
expenditures. Education and general government programs also constituted $13.2 billion (8.9%) and
$1.3 billion (0.9%) of the fund’s expenditures, respectively. The Federal Fund’s revenues decreased by
$23.3 billion from the prior year, while expenditures and transfers had a combined decrease of
20
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
$22.4 billion, resulting in a $291 million improvement over the prior year’s restated ending deficit fund
balance of $45.5 billion, to a $45.2 billion deficit.
Transportation Fund: The Transportation Fund accounts for fuel taxes, bond proceeds, and other
revenues used primarily for highway and passenger rail construction. The Transportation Fund’s
revenues increased by $1.2 billion (7.4%) and its expenditures increased by $3.5 billion (21.2%) as a
result of continued funding under the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Senate Bill 1). Other
financing sources provided net receipts of $2.7 billion. The Transportation Fund ended the fiscal year
with a $10.8 billion fund balance, an increase of $609 million from the prior year.
Environmental and Natural Resources Fund: The Environmental and Natural Resources Fund accounts
for fees, bond proceeds, and other revenues that are used for maintaining the State’s natural resources
and improving the environmental quality of its air, land, and water. The Environmental and Natural
Resources Fund’s revenues increased by $112 million (1.2%) over the prior year, due to the spending
requirements related to the Parks and Water Bond Act of 2018 (Proposition 68), passed by voters in June
2018. Expenditures decreased marginally by $52 million (0.6%). Other financing sources provided net
receipts of $2.4 billion, mainly from bond proceeds, including those sold under Proposition 68. The
Environmental and Natural Resources Fund ended the fiscal year with a $20.7 billion fund balance, an
increase of $3.0 billion (16.9%) over the prior year.
Health Care Related Programs Fund: The Health Care Related Programs Fund accounts for fees, taxes,
intergovernmental revenue, bond proceeds, transfers from other state funds, and other revenue used for
the Medi-Cal program, medical research, and other health care related programs. The Health Care
Related Programs Fund’s revenues increased by $1.3 billion (13.6%), and expenditures increased by
$1.2 billion (11.7%). Other financing sources provided net receipts of $539 million. The Health Care
Related Programs Fund ended the fiscal year with a $2.0 billion fund balance, an increase of
$294 million from the prior year.
Proprietary Funds
Enterprise Funds: The total deficit net position of the enterprise funds at June 30, 2023, was
$17.7 billion—a $1.7 billion improvement from the prior year’s restated deficit net position of
$19.4 billion. The largest portion of this improvement in net position, totaling $1.8 billion, was
attributable to California State University Fund. The Unemployment Programs Fund offset this increase
with a $230 million decrease to net position, ending the fiscal year with a deficit net position of
$12.1 billion. The net position of nonmajor enterprise funds increased by $178 million, while the net
position of the State Lottery Fund decreased by $41 million.
As shown on the proprietary funds’ Statement of Net Position, total assets and deferred outflows of
resources for the enterprise funds were $55.5 billion as of June 30, 2023. Of this amount, current assets
totaled $16.7 billion, noncurrent assets totaled $32.6 billion, and deferred outflows of resources totaled
$6.2 billion. Total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources for the enterprise funds was $73.1 billion.
One of the largest liabilities of the enterprise funds is $18.1 billion due to other governments,
$17.7 billion of which represents the balance in the Unemployment Programs Fund for which the
program was unable to confirm unemployment benefits eligibility claims, primarily associated with
federal pandemic relief programs. As of June 30, 2023, the Unemployment Programs Fund also reported
a balance on deposit with the U.S. Treasury of $475 million, funds used to pay unemployment claims
during the pandemic. Other noteworthy cumulative liabilities of the enterprise funds include a net OPEB
liability of $14.5 billion, $14.6 billion in revenue bonds payable including the current portion, and
$9.7 billion in net pension liability.
21
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Total net position for enterprise funds consisted of four segments: net investment in capital assets of
$3.5 billion, nonexpendable restricted net position of $2 million, restricted expendable net position of
$9.9 billion, and unrestricted net deficit of $31.1 billion.
As shown on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position of proprietary
funds, the enterprise funds ended the year with operating revenues of $29.7 billion, operating expenses
of $34.4 billion, and net revenues from other transactions and transfers of $6.4 billion. The largest
sources of operating revenues were unemployment and disability insurance receipts of $15.2 billion in
the Unemployment Programs Fund, and lottery ticket sales of $9.2 billion collected by the State Lottery
Fund. Unemployment and disability insurance receipts in the Unemployment Programs Fund were
$1.1 billion (6.6%) less than the prior fiscal year. The largest operating expenses were distributions to
beneficiaries of $15.3 billion reported in the Unemployment Programs Fund, personal services expenses
of $6.4 billion reported in the California State University Fund, and lottery prizes of $6.0 billion
distributed by the State Lottery Fund.
Internal Service Funds: The total net deficit of the internal service funds was $1.2 billion as of
June 30, 2023. The net position consists of three segments: net investment in capital assets of
$650 million, restricted expendable net position of $177 million, and unrestricted deficit net position of
$2.0 billion.
Fiduciary Funds
The State of California has four types of fiduciary funds: pension and other employee benefit trust funds,
private purpose trust funds, investment trust funds, and custodial funds. The pension and other employee
benefit trust funds ended the fiscal year with a net position of $826.2 billion. The private purpose trust
funds ended the fiscal year with a net position of $14.4 billion. The investment trust funds ended the
fiscal year with a net position of $25.8 billion. The custodial fund ended the fiscal year with a net
position of $668 million.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the fiduciary funds’ combined net position was $867.1 billion, a
$39.1 billion increase from the prior-year net position. The net position increased primarily because
contributions received and investment income in pension and other employee benefit trust funds
exceeded payments made to participants, despite a 28.0% decrease in investment trust net position
compared to the prior fiscal year.
General Fund Budget Highlights
The original General Fund budget of $207.3 billion was increased by $18.7 billion during fiscal year
2022-23. This increase is primarily attributed to additional funding for education and other general
government expenditures.
The Education budget increased due to updated revenue estimates which increased the guaranteed
minimum funding levels for K-12 schools and community colleges under Proposition 98.
The other general government budget increased as a result of one-time Better for Families Tax
Refund program.

Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital Assets
As of June 30, 2023, the State’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type
activities amounted to $172.0 billion (net of accumulated depreciation/amortization). The State’s capital
assets include land, state highway infrastructure, collections, buildings and other depreciable property,
intangible assets, and construction/development in progress. The buildings and other depreciable
property account includes buildings, improvements other than buildings, equipment, certain
infrastructure assets, certain books, and other capitalized and depreciable property. Intangible assets
include computer software, land use rights, patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Infrastructure assets are
items that normally are immovable, such as roads and bridges, and can be preserved for a greater
number of years than can most capital assets.
As of June 30, 2023, the State’s capital assets increased by $6.4 billion, or 3.9% over the prior fiscal
year. The majority of the increase is attributed to net additions to buildings and other depreciable
property of $4.0 billion, construction/development in progress of $1.2 billion, and State highway
infrastructure of $1.0 billion. Additional information on the State’s capital assets can be found in Note 6.

Modified Approach for Infrastructure Assets
The State has elected to use the modified approach for capitalizing infrastructure assets of the state
highway system (state bridges and roadways). Under the modified approach, the State does not report
depreciation expense for its bridges and roads but capitalizes all costs that add to their capacity and
efficiency. All maintenance and preservation costs are expensed. Under the modified approach, the State
maintains an asset management system to demonstrate that the infrastructure is preserved at or above
established condition levels. During fiscal year 2022-23, the actual amount spent on preservation was
42.2% of the estimated budgeted amount needed to maintain the infrastructure assets at established
condition levels. Although the amount spent fell short of the budgeted amount, the assessed condition of
the State’s bridges and roadways is better than the established condition baselines, with 93.7% of bridge
deck area judged to be of fair or better quality and 85.3% of lane miles judged to be of fair or better
quality in the last completed pavement-condition survey. The State is responsible for maintaining
12,604 bridges and tunnels and 50,607 lane miles.
The Required Supplementary Information includes additional information on how the State uses the
modified approach for infrastructure assets; it also presents the established condition standards,
condition assessments, and preservation costs.
Debt Administration
At June 30, 2023, the State had total bonded debt outstanding of $110.1 billion. Of this amount,
$79.4 billion (72.1%) represents general obligation bonds, which are backed by the full faith and credit
of the State. The current portion of general obligation bonds outstanding is $4.0 billion and the
24
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
long-term portion is $75.4 billion. The remaining $30.7 billion (27.9%) of bonded debt outstanding
represents revenue bonds, which are secured solely by specified revenue sources. The current portion of
revenue bonds outstanding is $1.4 billion and the long-term portion is $29.3 billion.
During the fiscal year, the State issued a total of $8.8 billion in new general obligation bonds to fund
various capital projects and other voter-approved costs related to K-12 schools and higher education
facilities, transportation improvements and high-speed rail, water quality and environmental protection,
and other public purposes.

Standard and Poor’s Rating Services, and Moody’s Investors Service remained unchanged at “AA”,
“AA-”, and “Aa2”, respectively.
Economic Condition and Future Budgets
The Economy for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2023
After two years of rapid economic expansion spurred by pandemic-related federal stimulus, mounting
economic headwinds began to push California’s economy toward a downturn during the year ended
June 30, 2023. In an effort to maintain stable price growth and slow inflation, the Federal Reserve Board
repeatedly enacted large interest rate increases, raising rates by 500 basis points between March 2022
and May 2023. The increased cost of borrowings meant that California businesses had less access to
capital to expand operations and hire new workers. After record-high unemployment during the
pandemic, and a rapid and steady descent thereafter, the number of unemployed workers in California
rose by nearly 120,000 during the 2022-23 fiscal year, resulting in a 0.7% increase to the state’s
unemployment rate. Economic difficulties were evident in California government as well, as the State
conformed with federal actions postponing tax payment deadlines in response to widespread California
flooding disasters in December 2022 and January 2023. Collections data showed a severe revenue
decline, with total income tax collections down by 25.0% in fiscal year 2022-23.
As of June 2023, California’s real gross domestic product (GDP) had reached $3.8 trillion, an increase
of 5.8% during fiscal year 2022-23, compared to growth of 7.5% during the 2021-22 fiscal year, to
$3.6 trillion. California’s economic growth slowed but did not trail far behind that of the United States
GDP, which increased by 6.4% during fiscal year 2022-23.
The California real estate market continued to experience a downshift in June 2023 as a result of the rise
in interest rates. The median price of homes in California was $837,850 as of June 2023, a slight
decrease of 2.4% from the prior year and a nominal increase of 2.2% over a two-year span. This
stabilization in home prices is in sharp contrast to the appreciation that occurred during the pandemic, as
the median price of homes in California at June 2023 was still 33.8% higher than in June 2020. By
comparison, the national median home price decreased by 0.9% from the prior year to $410,100 in
June 2023. The housing market saw 30-year fixed mortgage rates rise to an average of 6.7% in
June 2023, compared to 5.5% in June 2022. The rate increase impacted sales of existing single-family
homes; in June 2023 sales were down 19.7% from the prior year. New active listings declined by 34.0%,
the largest year-over-year decrease since May 2021. The number of new privately owned residential
units in California also decreased during fiscal year 2022-23 by approximately 14,199 units. Despite the
dampening of the California real estate market as a result of high home prices and rising interest rates,
the market could see some improvement as buyer demand stabilizes, inflation subsides, and mortgage
rates and housing supply conditions improve.
The real estate market was not the only segment of the state’s economy that was adjusting during the
2022-23 fiscal year. New light vehicle registrations increased by 11.6% in the first six months of 2023
compared to the prior year, due to the cessation of pandemic-induced supply chain interruptions that
significantly impacted sales in the second half of 2022.
Unemployment insurance claims per week, which were reduced by roughly half to 299,000 at the end of
the 2021-22 fiscal year, rose significantly as California issued approximately 385,000 claims per week
to unemployed workers by June 30, 2023. The unemployment rate responded comparably, increasing to
4.6% by the end of fiscal year 2022-23, compared to 3.9% at the end of the prior period. During fiscal
year 2022-23, the increase of approximately 150,000 new non-farm jobs was a steep regression from the
increase of one million jobs in each of the two immediately preceding fiscal years. Five of California’s
11 major industry sectors experienced job growth. The private education and health services sector saw
26
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
growth for two consecutive years, with a 3.8% gain in jobs during fiscal year 2021-22 and another
169,000 jobs added in fiscal year 2022-23, an increase of 5.8%. The private education and health
services sector includes jobs in private educational services as well as health care and social assistance.
Californians’ personal income exhibited modest gains, increasing 4.8% during the period; this was less
than the national increase of 5.6%. Since 2011, personal income of Californians has grown an average of
5.4% annually, due largely to the low unemployment rate sustained during the majority of this period.
Comparatively, personal income in the United States grew an average of 4.8% during the same period.
Effective January 1, 2023, California’s minimum wage increased to $15.50 per hour. The minimum
wage continued to increase to $16.00 per hour on January 1, 2024, with fast food restaurant employees’
minimum wage increasing to $20.00 per hour on April 1, 2024, and certain health care workers
receiving the $20.00 per hour minimum wage between October 15, 2024, and January 1, 2025. In spite
of the long-term growth trend of personal earnings for Californians and other positive economic growth
factors, ongoing inflationary pressures and elevated Federal Reserve interest rates will continue to pose a
risk to the state’s economy.
Economic Conditions for the 2023-24 Fiscal Year and Future Outlook
California’s economy remained resilient during fiscal year 2023-24 despite tight financial conditions—
with inflationary pressures receding, and the Federal Reserve Board in a holding pattern while waiting
for an opportunity to curb a 16-month tide of interest rate hikes—alleviating concerns of a recession in
the near-term. At the same time, California technology companies in the San Francisco Bay Area alone
cut more than 48,000 jobs between 2022 and mid-2024, seeking to trim their workforces in response to
inflation and increase efficiency in the post-pandemic era. The California technology industry was also
briefly disrupted by the withdrawal of market capital available for startup and expansion loans in the
aftermath of the financial fallout incited by Silicon Valley Bank in early 2023; however, the market
showed signs of normalizing by the beginning of 2024. In addition, California experienced a season of
severe winter storms, which produced flooding, landslides, and mudslides in early 2023, leading to a
State tax filing postponement that affected 99% of California taxpayers.
In spite of these challenges, California strengthened its position as the fifth largest economy in the world
during the year. At June 30, 2024, the state’s GDP climbed to $4.1 trillion, an increase of 6.3% over the
previous fiscal year—higher than the United States GDP increase of 5.7% over the same period.
Personal income growth for Californians was robust, increasing by 7.1% during fiscal year 2023-24.
Statewide personal income growth outpaced both the increase in Consumer Price Index of 3.3% during
the period and the U.S. national personal income increase of 5.9%.
California’s unemployment rate for the 2023-24 fiscal year rose slightly throughout the year, ending at
5.2% on June 30, 2024. The private education and health services sector saw growth for a fourth
consecutive year, with a 5.3% gain in jobs during fiscal year 2023-24. The private education and health
services sector includes jobs in private educational services as well as health care and social assistance.
The technology sector continued to make headlines, with nearly 13,000 reported Silicon Valley job cuts
in the first half of 2024, and continued layoffs tapering through the subsequent months.
As a result of the Federal Reserve Board’s aggressive hoist of interest rates to tame consumer price
increases, California’s statewide inflation of 8.3% in 2022 had decreased to 3.1% and 3.3% in 2023 and
2024, respectively. The Federal Reserve Board maintained a steady interest rate after July 2023, and
once the national inflation retreated to a target rate of 2.0%, the Board cut its rate by 50 basis points in
September 2024. The pause in rate hikes from July 2023 had a stabilizing effect on the statewide
housing market, with existing home sales totaling 270,200 units in June 2024, a modest 2.7% decrease
from June 2023. The 30-year fixed mortgage interest rate rose slightly, from an average of 6.7% in June
2023, to a 6.9% average in June 2024. As demand for homes outpaced supply, the statewide median
home price eclipsed the $900,000 benchmark for the final three months of fiscal year 2023-24, ending at
$900,700 in June 2024, an increase of 7.5% from June 2023. The U.S. national median home price
27
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
increased at a lesser rate of 4.1% during the same period, landing at $432,700 in June 2024. In contrast
to the 11.6% rebound in new vehicle registrations experienced in fiscal year 2022-23, the state’s
automotive industry remained flat in the first six months of 2024, with a 0.7% decrease in new vehicle
registrations compared to the same period during the prior year. The decrease in consumer spending on
automobiles is mainly attributable to monthly finance and lease costs remaining elevated due to higher
interest rates; sales may begin to increase if the Federal Reserve Board continues to cut interest rates
into 2025.
The state experienced a net population loss of 410,000 Californians since the last Census Bureau survey
was conducted in April 2020; the loss can be primarily be attributed to displacement during the
pandemic and the high cost of living in the state. Housing costs will likely remain elevated, as lower
interest rates will push buyers from the sidelines into an already supply-constrained housing market.
New state minimum wage increases, including the increase to $20.00 per hour in 2024 for fast-food
restaurant and certain health care workers, will make it difficult for some businesses in those sectors to
remain afloat, unless they are able to pass the increases on to consumers in the form of higher prices
without reducing demand. California’s short-term economic outlook will likely closely correlate to the
greater US economy, which has shown potential harbingers for recessions over the past few years but
has adeptly managed to circumvent such an outcome.
California’s 2023-24 Budget
California’s 2023-24 Budget Act was enacted on June 27, 2023. The Budget Act appropriated
$310.8 billion; $225.9 billion from the General Fund, $82.0 billion from special funds, and $2.9 billion
from bond funds. Budgeted expenditures for the General Fund decreased by $8.7 billion, or 3.7% less
than last year’s budget, and General Fund revenues were projected to be $208.7 billion. General Fund
revenue comes predominantly from taxes, with personal income taxes expected to provide 56.6% of
total revenue in fiscal year 2023-24. California’s major taxes, including personal income taxes, sales and
use taxes, and corporation taxes were projected to supply approximately 92.8% of the General Fund’s
resources in the 2023-24 fiscal year. The General Fund was projected to end the 2023-2024 fiscal year
with $37.8 billion in total reserves, including $22.3 billion in the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA)
for fiscal emergencies, $10.8 billion in the Public School System Stabilization Account (PSSSA),
$3.8 billion in the State’s operating reserve, and $900 million in the Safety Net Reserve (SNR).
The 2023-24 Budget Act increased total state expenditures by $4.4 billion over the 2022-23 budgeted
level. General Fund spending decreases included $6.3 billion for General Government operations, and
$4.7 billion for Legislative, Judicial, and Executive, partially offset by an increase of $5.9 billion for
Health and Human Services. The General Fund’s share of the Proposition 98 guaranteed minimum
funding level for K-12 schools and community colleges decreased by $660 million from the revised
2022-23 level, to $77.5 billion.
The Budget included total funding of $129.2 billion for all K-12 education programs, reflecting
significant Proposition 98 funding that enables increased support for core programs such as the Local
Control Funding Formula, special education, transitional kindergarten, nutrition, and preschool. The
Budget includes over $52.0 billion in multi-year climate investments and $5.1 billion for public transit,
including $4.0 billion in Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program funding and $1.1 billion in
zero-emission vehicle transit funding.
Continuing the State’s comprehensive approach to providing service and support for individuals
experiencing homelessness, the Budget couples the Administration’s $15.3 billion investment in
measures to address homelessness with new accountability measures. The Budget maintains the
28
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
commitment to increase access to health care for all Californians, regardless of their immigration status,
and especially for low-income Californians. It also maintains key investments—including more than
$10.0 billion for the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal program (CalAIM) and over
$8.0 billion for behavioral health. After two years of unprecedented General Fund revenue growth due to
unanticipated increases in tax revenue collections and federal stimulus grants, the State now faces a
downturn in revenues and slower future projected revenue growth. The Budget avoids new significant
ongoing commitments and maintains fiscal discipline by setting aside $37.8 billion in total budgetary
reserves. It also preserves investments in programs that are essential to millions of Californians while
closing a shortfall of more than $30.0 billion through a balanced package of solutions that avoids deep
program cuts. The Budget protects investments in education, health care, climate, public safety and
social service programs that are relied on by millions of Californians. Additionally, it is paired with the
Governor’s streamlining proposals that accelerate construction of water, transportation, and clean energy
projects to advance the State’s ambitious economic, climate, and social goals.
In June 2024, the 2024-25 Budget Act was enacted, and provided updated estimates of fiscal year
2023-24 General Fund revenues, expenditures, and reserves. The 2024-25 Budget Act projected fiscal
year 2023-24 General Fund revenue of $189.4 billion after transfers—$19.3 billion (9.2%) less than
projected in the 2023-24 Budget Act—and expenditures of $223.1 billion. Total year-end reserves were
estimated at $26.3 billion—$22.5 billion in the BSA, $2.9 billion in the State’s operating reserve, and
$900 million in the SNR—which is $11.5 billion less than projected in the 2023-24 Budget Act.
California’s 2024-25 Budget
California’s fiscal year 2024-25 Budget Act was enacted on June 26, 2024, and includes projections of
fiscal year 2024-25 General Fund revenues, expenditures, and reserves. General Fund revenues are
anticipated to be $207.2 billion, an increase of $17.0 billion (8.9%) from revised fiscal year 2023-24
revenue estimates, primarily due to projected increases of $9.3 billion in corporation taxes, $5.4 billion
in personal income taxes, and $1.5 billion in other revenue sources. General Fund expenditures for fiscal
year 2024-25 are budgeted at $211.5 billion, a decrease of $11.6 billion (5.2%) compared to the fiscal
year 2023-24 estimates. The Budget again avoids new significant ongoing commitments and, after
subsidizing expenditures through transfers, preserves a total of $22.2 billion in budgetary reserves:
$17.6 billion in the BSA for fiscal emergencies, $3.5 billion in the State’s operating reserve, and
$1.1 billion in the PSSSA.
The 2024-25 Budget Act maintains the State’s commitments to increase funding for K-12 schools and
higher education, combat the impacts of climate change, and address homelessness. The Budget
allocates total funding of $133.8 billion for K-12 education programs, and $44.6 billion for higher
education programs in 2024-25. The Budget also maintains $44.6 billion in climate investments over
eight years to integrate climate solutions with equity and economic opportunity. Additionally, as part of
the State’s continued focus on homelessness, the Budget includes $1.3 billion in new funding for
homelessness programs.
Emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, California experienced significant revenue volatility, seeing
unprecedented revenue growth quickly followed by a sharp and deep correction back toward historical
trends. In addressing a $46.8 billion deficit, the Budget maintains the multi-year fiscal structure by
providing positive balances in the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties (SFEU), the State’s
“Rainy Day” fund, for both the 2024-25 and 2025-26 fiscal years. Additionally, the Budget includes
commitments to support further budget resilience. Part of the budget agreement reached proposes
29
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
additional legislation requiring the State to set aside a portion of anticipated surplus funds to be allocated
in a subsequent Budget Act, adding further fiscal protection so that the State does not commit future
anticipated surplus revenues until those revenues have been realized.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental
Funds to the Statement of Activities
(amounts in thousands)
Net change in fund balances – total governmental funds $ (1,325,057)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different from those in
the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
because:
• Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities,
the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. In the
current year, these amounts are:
Purchase of assets 4,981,665
Disposal of assets (244,928)
Depreciation expense, net of asset disposal (985,220)
3,751,517
• Some revenues in the Statement of Activities do not provide current financial resources and, 214,840
therefore, are unavailable in governmental funds.
• Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as 442,658
building construction and architectural services, procurement, and technology services, to
individual funds. The net revenue (expense) of the internal service funds is reported with
governmental activities.
• The issuance of long-term debt instruments provides current financial resources to governmental
funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt is an expenditure of governmental
funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on the Statement of Activities. Also,
governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first
issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities. The
following shows the effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related
items:
General
Obligation Revenue Commercial

Debt issued (8,590,580) (218,300) (1,715,635) (10,524,515)

Fund Financial Statements
• The following expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and, therefore, are not recognized as expenditures in governmental funds. Once
the use of current financial resources is required, expenditures are recognized in governmental
funds but are eliminated from the Statement of Activities. In the current period, the net adjustment
consists of:
Compensated absences (88,536)
Lease, subscription, and financed purchase liability 17,282
Net pension liability 3,580,959
Net other postemployment benefits liability 1,296,578
Mandated cost claims 113,089
Workers’ compensation (483,190)
Proposition 98 funding guarantee —
Pollution remediation obligations (122,005)

Notes to the Financial Statements
Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements present information on the financial activities of the State of
California over which the Governor, the Legislature, and other elected officials have direct or indirect
governing and fiscal control. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The provisions of the
following Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements have been implemented for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023:
GASB Statement No. 91, Conduit Debt Obligations is effective for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2023. This Statement provides a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by
issuers and eliminates diversity in practice associated with (a) commitments extended by issuers,
(b) arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations, and (c) related note disclosures. This
Statement achieves those objectives by clarifying the existing definition of a conduit debt
obligation, establishing that a conduit debt obligation is not a liability of the issuer, establishing
standards for accounting and financial reporting of additional commitments and voluntary
commitments extended by issuers and arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations, and
improving required note disclosures. Implementation of GASB Statement No. 91 resulted in minor
changes to conduit debt reporting in the notes to the financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 93, Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates is effective for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2023. This Statement addresses the accounting and financial reporting implications that
result from the replacement of an Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR). This Statement achieves that
objective by:
a. Providing exceptions for certain hedging derivative instruments to the hedge accounting
termination provisions when an IBOR is replaced as the reference rate of the hedging
derivative instrument’s variable payment.
b. Clarifying the hedge accounting termination provisions when a hedged item is amended to
replace the reference rate.
c. Clarifying that the uncertainty related to the continued availability of IBORs does not, by
itself, affect the assessment of whether the occurrence of a hedged expected transaction is
probable.
d. Removing London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as an appropriate benchmark interest
rate for the qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of an interest rate swap.
e. Identifying a Secured Overnight Financing Rate and the Effective Federal Funds Rate as
appropriate benchmark interest rates for the qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of an
interest rate swap.
f. Clarifying the definition of reference rate, as it is used in Statement No. 53, as amended.
g. Providing an exception to the lease modifications guidance in Statement No. 87, as amended,
for certain lease contracts that are amended solely to replace an IBOR as the rate upon which
variable payments depend.
The implementation of GASB Statement No. 93 had an insignificant impact to the State’s ACFR.
71
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
GASB Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment
Arrangements is effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The Statement improves
financial reporting by addressing issues related to public-private and public-public partnership
arrangements (PPPs). As used in this Statement, a PPP is an arrangement in which a government
(the transferor) contracts with an operator (a governmental or nongovernmental entity) to provide
public services by conveying control of the right to operate or use a nonfinancial asset, such as
infrastructure or another capital asset (the underlying PPP asset), for a period of time in an
exchange or exchange-like transaction. Some PPPs meet the definition of a service concession
arrangement, which is defined in this Statement as a PPP in which (a) the operator collects and is
compensated by fees from third parties; (b) the transferor determines or has the ability to modify or
approve which services the operator is required to provide, to whom the operator is required to
provide the services, and the prices or rates that can be charged for the services; and (c) the
transferor is entitled to significant residual interest in the service utility of the underlying PPP asset
at the end of the arrangement.
This Statement also provides guidance for accounting and financial reporting for availability
payment arrangements (APAs). As defined in this Statement, an APA is an arrangement in which a
government compensates an operator for services that may include designing, constructing,
financing, maintaining, or operating an underlying nonfinancial asset for a period of time in an
exchange or exchange-like transaction. This Statement requires that PPPs that meet the definition
of a lease apply GASB 87 guidance. A transferor will generally recognize an underlying PPP asset
as a capital asset, a related receivable, a receivable for installment payments (if any), and a
deferred inflow of resources. An operator should recognize an intangible right-to-use asset and
related liability, and a liability for installment payments if applicable. This Statement requires that
APAs related to designing, constructing, and financing a nonfinancial asset in which ownership of
the asset transfers to the State by the end of the contract should be accounted for as a financed
purchase by recognizing a capital asset and related installment contract liability. The
implementation of GASB Statement No. 94 had a material impact the financial statements and the
notes to the financial statements including a restatement of beginning net position, the recognition
of new capital assets, and recognition of new long-term obligations. Previously reported
receivables and deferred inflows related to service concession arrangements of the primary
government are no longer reported as a result of the implementation of GASB Statement No. 94.
GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements is effective for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The objective of this Statement is to better meet the
information needs of financial statement users by improving accounting and financial reporting for
subscription-based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) by governments. The
Statement establishes uniform accounting and financial reporting requirements for SBITAs. Under
this Statement, a government is required to recognize a SBITA liability and an intangible right-to-
use SBITA asset, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about SBITAs.
GASB 96 defines a SBITA as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s (a
SBITA vendor) IT software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the underlying IT
assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like
transaction. Any contract that meets this definition should be accounted for under the SBITAs
guidance, unless specifically excluded in this Statement. The implementation of GASB Statement
No. 96 had a material impact to the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements
including a restatement of beginning net position, the recognition of new capital assets, and
recognition of new long-term obligations.
72
Notes to the Financial Statements
GASB Statement No. 99, Omnibus 2022 is effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. This
Statement enhances comparability in accounting and financial reporting and improves the
consistency of authoritative literature by addressing practice issues that have been identified during
implementation and application of certain GASB Statements. The practice issues addressed by this
Statement are as follows:
a. Clarification of provisions in Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended, related to the
determination of the lease term, classification of a lease as a short-term lease, recognition and
measurement of a lease liability and a lease asset, and identification of lease incentives.
b. Clarification of provisions in Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public
Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements, related to (a) the determination of the
public-private and public-public partnership (PPP) term, and (b) recognition and
measurement of installment payments and the transfer of the underlying PPP asset.
c. Clarification of provisions in Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology
Arrangements, related to the SBITA term, classification of a SBITA as a short-term SBITA,
and recognition and measurement of a subscription liability.
The implementation of GASB Statement No. 99 had an insignificant impact to the State’s ACFR.
A. Reporting Entity
These financial statements present the primary government of the State and its component units. The
primary government consists of all funds, organizations, institutions, agencies, departments, and
offices that are not legally separate from the State. Component units are organizations that are legally
separate from the State, but for which the State is financially accountable, or organizations whose
relationship with the State is such that exclusion would cause the State’s financial statements to be
misleading. Following is information on the blended, fiduciary, and discretely presented component
units of the State.
1. Blended Component Units
Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance part of the primary
government’s operations. Therefore, data from these blended component units are integrated into the
appropriate funds for reporting purposes.
Building authorities are blended component units because they have been created through the use of
joint exercise of powers agreements with various cities to finance the construction of state buildings.
The building authorities’ financial activities are reported in capital projects funds. As a result, contracts
receivable arrangements between the building authorities and the State have been eliminated from the
financial statements. Instead, only the underlying capital assets and the debt used to acquire them are
reported in the government-wide financial statements. For information regarding obtaining copies of the
financial statements of the building authorities, email the State Controller’s Office, State Accounting and
Reporting Division at StateGovReports@sco.ca.gov.
The Golden State Tobacco Securitization Corporation (GSTSC) is a not-for-profit corporation
established through legislation in September 2002 solely for the purpose of purchasing Tobacco
Settlement Revenues from the State. The five voting members of the State Public Works Board serve
ex officio as the directors of the corporation. The GSTSC is authorized to issue bonds as necessary to
provide sufficient funds for carrying out its purpose. The GSTSC’s financial activity is reported in the
73
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
combining statements in the Nonmajor Governmental Funds section as a special revenue fund. For
information regarding obtaining copies of the financial statements of GSTSC, contact the Department of
Finance, Natural Resources, Energy, Environmental, and Capital Outlay Section, 915 L Street,
9th Floor, Sacramento, California 95814.
2. Fiduciary Component Units
The State has two legally separate fiduciary component units that administer pension and other
employee benefit trust funds. The State appoints a voting majority of the board members of both plans
which, due to their fiduciary nature, are presented in the fiduciary fund statements as pension and other
employee benefit trust funds, along with other primary government fiduciary funds.
The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) administers pension and health benefit
plans for state employees, non-teaching school employees, and employees of California public agencies.
Its Board of Administration has plenary authority and fiduciary responsibility for the investment of
monies and the administration of the plans. CalPERS administers the following seven pension and other
employee benefit trust funds: the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund, the Judges’ Retirement Fund, the
Judges’ Retirement Fund II, the Legislators’ Retirement Fund, the Public Employees’ Deferred
Compensation Fund, the public employee Supplemental Contributions Program Fund, and the California
Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust Fund. CalPERS administers one investment trust fund: the California
Employers’ Pension Prefunding Trust Fund. CalPERS also maintains two custodial funds: the
Replacement Benefit Fund, and the Old Age and Survivors’ Insurance Revolving Fund. CalPERS’
separately issued financial statements may be found on its website at www.CalPERS.ca.gov.
The California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) administers pension benefit plans for
California public school teachers and certain other employees of the public school system. The State is
financially accountable for CalSTRS. CalSTRS administers a hybrid retirement system consisting of the
State Teachers’ Retirement Plan, a defined benefit plan, composed of the Defined Benefit Program, the
Defined Benefit Supplement Program, the Cash Balance Benefit Program, and the Replacement Benefits
Program; two defined contribution plans; a postemployment benefit plan; and a fund used to account for
ancillary activities associated with various deferred compensation plans and programs. CalSTRS’
separately issued financial statements may be found on its website at www.CalSTRS.com.
3. Discretely Presented Component Units
Enterprise activity of discretely presented component units is reported in a separate column in the
government-wide financial statements. Discretely presented component units are legally separate from
the primary government and usually provide services to entities and individuals outside the primary
government. Discretely presented component units that report enterprise activity include the University
of California, the California Housing Finance Agency, and nonmajor component units. Most component
units separately issue their own financial statements. In general, the notes to the financial statements in
this publication do not include information found in the component units’ separately issued financial
statements. Instead, references to the individual component unit financial statements are provided where
applicable.
The University of California was founded in 1868 as a public, state-supported, land-grant institution. It
was written into the State Constitution of 1879 as a public trust to be administered by a governing board,
the Regents of the University of California (Regents). The University is a component unit of the State
because the State appoints a voting majority of the Regents and provides financial assistance to the
University. The University offers defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution pension plans
74
Notes to the Financial Statements
to its employees through the University of California Retirement System (UCRS), a fiduciary
responsibility of the Regents. The financial information of the UCRS is not included in the financial
statements of this report due to its fiduciary nature. The University’s financial statements may be found
on its website at www.ucop.edu.
The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) was created by the Zenovich-Moscone-Chacon
Housing and Home Finance Act, as amended. CalHFA’s purpose is to finance the housing needs of
persons and families of low and moderate income. It is a component unit of the State because the State
appoints a voting majority of CalHFA’s governing board and the executive director, who administers the
day-to-day operations. CalHFA’s financial statements may be found on its website at
www.CalHFA.ca.gov.
State legislation created various nonmajor component units to provide certain services outside the
primary government and to provide certain private and public entities with a low-cost source of
financing for programs deemed to be in the public interest. California State University Auxiliary
Organizations are considered component units because they exist entirely or almost entirely for the
direct benefit of the universities. The remaining nonmajor component units are considered component
units because the majority of members of their governing boards are appointed by or are members of the
primary government, and the primary government can impose its will on the entity; or the entity
provides a specific financial benefit to or imposes a financial burden on the primary government. For
information regarding obtaining copies of the financial statements of these component units, email the
State Controller’s Office, State Accounting and Reporting Division at StateGovReports@sco.ca.gov.
The nonmajor consolidated component unit segments are:
California State University Auxiliary Organizations, which provide services primarily to university
students through foundations, associated student organizations, student unions, food service entities,
book stores, and similar organizations.
Financing authorities, which provide financing for specific purposes. These agencies include:
• The California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority, which
provides financing for alternative energy and advanced transportation technologies;
• The California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank, which provides financing for
business development and public improvements; and
• The California Urban Waterfront Area Restoration Financing Authority, which provides financing
for coastal and inland urban waterfront restoration projects.
District agricultural associations, which exhibit all of the industries, industrial enterprises, resources,
and products of the State (the district agricultural associations’ financial report is as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2022).
Other component units, which include the following entities:
• The University of California Hastings College of the Law, which was established as the law
department of the University of California to provide legal education programs and operates
independently under its own board of directors. The college has a discretely presented component
75
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
unit, the Foundation, which provides private sources of funds for academic programs, scholarships,
and faculty research;
• The State Assistance Fund for Enterprise, Business and Industrial Development Corporation,
which provides financial assistance to small business; and
• The Public Employees’ Contingency Reserve, which provides health benefit plans for state
employees and annuitants.
4. Joint Venture
A joint venture is an entity resulting from a contractual arrangement; it is owned, operated, or governed
by two or more participants as a separate and specific activity subject to joint control. In such an
arrangement, the participants retain an ongoing financial interest or an ongoing financial responsibility
in the entity. These entities are not part of the primary government or a component unit.
The State participates in a joint venture called the Capitol Area Development Authority (CADA). CADA
was created in 1978 by the joint exercise of powers agreement between the primary government and the
City of Sacramento for the location of state buildings and other improvements. CADA is a public entity,
separate from the primary government and the city; it is administered by a board composed of five
members—two appointed by the primary government, two appointed by the city, and one appointed by
the affirmative vote of at least three of the other four members of the board. The primary government
designates the chairperson of the board. Although the primary government does not have an equity
interest in CADA, it does have an ongoing financial interest. The primary government subsidizes
CADA’s operations by leasing land to CADA without consideration; however, the primary government
is not obligated to do so. At June 30, 2023, CADA had total assets and deferred outflows of resources of
$81.2 million, total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources of $53.8 million, and total net position of
$27.4 million. Total revenues for the fiscal year were $17.9 million and expenses were $12.4 million,
resulting in an increase in net position of $5.5 million. As the primary government does not have equity
interest in CADA, CADA’s financial information is not included in the financial statements of this
report. Separately issued financial statements may be obtained on CADA’s website at www.cadanet.org.
5. Jointly Governed Organization
A jointly governed organization is a regional government or other multigovernmental arrangement that
is governed by representatives from each of the governments that create the organization, but that is not
a joint venture because the participants do not retain an ongoing financial interest or responsibility.
These entities are not part of the primary government or a component unit.
The State participates in a jointly governed organization called the California Residential Mitigation
Program (CRMP). CRMP was created in 2011 by the joint exercise of powers agreement between the
primary government and the California Earthquake Authority (CEA); a related organization. The
purpose of CRMP is to provide for the joint exercise of powers common to the primary government and
the CEA by funding and managing programming to supply grants, assistance, and incentives to owners
of dwellings in California who wish to retrofit their homes to protect against earthquake damage. CRMP
is a public entity, separate from the primary government and the CEA; it is administered by a board
composed of four members – two appointed by the primary government, and two appointed by the CEA.
As the primary government does not have an ongoing financial interest or responsibility for CRMP, the
financial information of this institution is not included in the financial statements of this report. For
information regarding obtaining copies of the financial statements of CRMP, go to its website at
www.californiaresidentialmitigationprogram.com.

Notes to the Financial Statements
6. Related Organizations
A related organization is an organization for which a primary government is accountable because that
government appoints a voting majority of the organization’s governing board, but for which the primary
government is not financially accountable.
Chapter 854 of the Statutes of 1996 created an Independent System Operator (ISO), a state-chartered,
nonprofit market institution. The ISO provides centralized control of the statewide electrical
transmission grid to ensure the efficient use and reliable operation of the transmission system. The ISO
is governed by a five-member board, the members of which are appointed by the Governor and
confirmed by the Senate. The State’s accountability for this institution does not extend beyond making
the initial oversight board appointments. As the primary government is not financially accountable for
the ISO, the financial information of this institution is not included in the financial statements of this
report. For information regarding obtaining copies of the financial statements of the ISO, go to its
website at www.caiso.com.
The California Earthquake Authority (CEA), a legally separate organization, offers earthquake insurance
for California homeowners, renters, condominium owners, and mobile home owners. A three-member
board composed of state-elected officials governs the CEA. The State’s accountability for this institution
does not extend beyond making the appointments. As the primary government is not financially
accountable for the CEA, the financial information of this institution is not included in the financial
statements of this report. For information regarding obtaining copies of the financial statements of the
CEA, go to its website at www.earthquakeauthority.com.
The State Compensation Insurance Fund (State Fund) was established by the State through legislation
enacted in 1913 to provide an available market for workers’ compensation insurance to employees
located in California. State Fund operates in competition with other insurance carriers to serve California
businesses. The State appoints all 11 members of the State Fund’s governing board. The State’s
accountability for this institution does not extend beyond making the initial oversight board
appointments. As the primary government is not financially accountable for the State Fund, the financial
information of this institution is not included in the financial statements of this report. For information
regarding obtaining copies of the financial statements of the State Fund, go to its website at
www.statefundca.com.
The California Health Benefit Exchange (Exchange), an independent public entity, offers health
insurance to individuals, families, and small businesses. A five-member board of state-appointed
officials governs the Exchange. The State’s accountability for this institution does not extend beyond
making the appointments. As the primary government is not financially accountable for the Exchange,
the financial information of this institution is not included in the financial statements of this report. For
information regarding obtaining copies of the financial statements of the Exchange, go to its website at
https://hbex.coveredca.com.
The California Pollution Control Financing Authority (CPCFA) was created through the California
Pollution Control Financing Authority Act of 1972. The CPCFA is a legally separate entity that provides
financing for pollution control facilities. A three-member board composed of state-elected officials and
an appointee governs the CPCFA. The State’s accountability for this institution does not extend beyond
making the appointments. As the primary government is not financially accountable for the CPCFA, the
financial information of this institution is not included in the financial statements of this report. For
information regarding obtaining copies of the financial statements of the CPCFA, go to its website at
www.treasurer.ca.gov/cpcfa.
77
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
The California Health Facilities Financing Authority (CHFFA) was established by the State through
legislation enacted in 1979. The CHFFA is a legally separate entity that provides financing for the
construction, equipping, and acquisition of health facilities. A nine-member board composed of
state-elected officials and appointees govern the CHFFA. The State’s accountability for this institution
does not extend beyond making the appointments. As the primary government is not financially
accountable for the CHFFA, the financial information of this institution is not included in the financial
statements of this report. For information regarding obtaining copies of the financial statements of the
CHFFA, go to its website at www.treasurer.ca.gov/chffa.
The California Educational Facilities Authority (CEFA) was created by the State through legislation
effective in 1973. The CEFA is a legally separate entity established to issue revenue bonds to finance
loans for students attending public and private colleges and universities, and to assist private educational
institutions of higher learning in financing the expansion and construction of educational facilities. A
five-member board composed of state-elected officials and appointees govern the CEFA. The State’s
accountability for this institution does not extend beyond making the appointments. As the primary
government is not financially accountable for the CEFA, the financial information of this institution is
not included in the financial statements of this report. For information regarding obtaining copies of the
financial statements for the CEFA, go to its website at www.treasurer.ca.gov/cefa.
The California School Finance Authority (CSFA) was created in 1985. The CSFA is a legally separate
entity that provides loans to school and community college districts to assist them in obtaining
equipment and facilities. A three-member board composed of state-elected officials and an appointee
governs the CSFA. The State’s accountability for this institution does not extend beyond making the
appointments. As the primary government is not financially accountable for the CSFA, the financial
information for this institution is not included in the financial statements of this report. For information
regarding obtaining copies of the financial statements of the CSFA, go to its website at
www.treasurer.ca.gov/csfa.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
Government-wide financial statements (the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities)
provide information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component
units. The primary government is reported separately from legally separate component units for which
the State is financially accountable. Within the primary government, the State’s governmental activities,
which are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The effect of
interfund activity has been removed from the statements, with the exception of amounts between
governmental and business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances and transfers.
Centralized services provided by the General Fund for other funds are charged as direct costs to the
funds that received those services. Also, the General Fund recovers the cost of centralized services
provided to federal programs from the federal government.
The Statement of Net Position reports all of the financial and capital resources of the government as a
whole in a format in which assets and deferred outflows of resources equal liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources, plus net position. The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the
expenses of a given function are offset by program revenues. Program revenues include charges to
customers who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given
function. Program revenues also include grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital requirements of a particular function. Taxes and other items that are not
program-related are reported as general revenues.
78
Notes to the Financial Statements
Fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, fiduciary funds and
similar component units, and discretely presented component units. A fund is a fiscal and accounting
entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their
intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal
and contractual provisions. The State maintains the minimum number of funds consistent with legal and
managerial requirements. Fiduciary funds, although excluded from the government-wide statements, are
included in the fund financial statements. Major governmental and enterprise funds are reported in
separate columns in the fund financial statements. Nonmajor governmental and proprietary funds are
grouped into separate columns. Discretely presented component unit statements, which follow the
fiduciary fund statements, also separately report the enterprise activity of the major discretely presented
component units. In this report, the enterprise activity of nonmajor discretely presented component units
is grouped in a separate column.
Governmental fund types are used to account for activities primarily supported by taxes, grants, and
similar revenue sources.
The State reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the main operating fund of the State. It accounts for transactions related to
resources obtained and used for those services that need not be accounted for in another fund.
The Federal Fund accounts for the receipt and use of grants, entitlements, and shared revenues
received from the federal government that are all restricted by federal regulations.
The Transportation Fund accounts for fuel taxes, including the State’s diesel, motor vehicle, and fuel
use taxes; bond proceeds; automobile registration fees; and other revenues that are restricted for
transportation purposes, including highway and passenger rail construction and transportation
safety programs.
The Environmental and Natural Resources Fund accounts for fees, bond proceeds, and other
revenues that are restricted for maintaining the State’s natural resources and improving the
environmental quality of its air, land, and water.
The Health Care Related Programs Fund accounts for fees, taxes, intergovernmental revenue, bond
proceeds, transfers from other state funds, and other revenue used for the Medi-Cal program, medical
research, and other health and human services programs.
Proprietary fund types focus on the determination of operating income, changes in net position,
financial position, and cash flows.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses include the cost
of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. For its
proprietary funds, the State applies all applicable GASB pronouncements.
79
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
The State has two proprietary fund types: enterprise funds and internal service funds.
Enterprise funds record business-type activity for which a fee is charged to external users for goods and
services. In addition, the State is required to report activities as enterprise funds in the context of the
activity’s principal revenue sources when any of the following criteria are met:
• The activity’s debt is secured solely by fees and charges of the activity;
• There is a legal requirement to recover costs; or
• The pricing policies of fees and charges are designed to recover costs.
The State reports the following major enterprise funds:
The Water Resources Fund accounts for charges to local water districts and the sale of excess power
to public utilities.
The State Lottery Fund accounts for the sale of California State Lottery (Lottery) tickets and the
Lottery’s payments for education.
The Unemployment Programs Fund accounts for employer and worker contributions used for
payments of unemployment insurance and disability benefits.
The California State University Fund accounts for student fees and other receipts from gifts,
bequests, donations, federal and state grants, and loans that are used for educational purposes.
Nonmajor enterprise funds account for additional operations that are financed and operated in a manner
similar to private business enterprises.
Additionally, the State reports internal service funds as a proprietary fund type with governmental
activities. Internal service funds account for goods or services provided to other agencies, departments,
or governments on a cost-reimbursement basis. The goods and services provided include architectural
services, public building construction and improvements, printing and procurement services, goods
produced by inmates of state prisons, data processing services, and administrative services related to
water delivery. Internal service funds are included in the governmental activities at the
government-wide level.
Fiduciary fund types are used to account for assets held by the State. The State acts as a trustee or as a
custodian for individuals, private organizations, other governments, or other funds. Fiduciary funds,
including fiduciary component units, are not included in the government-wide financial statements.
The State has the following four fiduciary fund types:
Private purpose trust funds account for all trust arrangements, other than those properly reported in
pension or investment trust funds, whereby principal and income benefit individuals, private
organizations, or other governments. The following are the State’s largest private purpose trust funds:
The Scholarshare Program Trust Fund accounts for money received from participants to fund their
beneficiaries’ higher education expenses at certain postsecondary educational institutions.
80
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Unclaimed Property Fund accounts for unclaimed money and properties held in trust by the
State. Unclaimed money is remitted to the General Fund where it can be used by the State until it
is claimed.
Pension and other employee benefit trust funds of the primary government and fiduciary component
units account for transactions, assets, liabilities, and net position available for plan benefits of the
retirement systems and for other employee benefit programs.
Investment trust funds consist of the external portion of investment pools and account for the deposits,
withdrawals, and earnings of local governments and public agencies.
The Custodial Fund generally accounts for fiduciary activities that are not held under a trust
agreement or equivalent, such as receipts and disbursements of sales tax, use tax, and other
assessments held for local agencies, cash deposits for bail solicitors, and condemnation deposits.
Discretely presented component units consist of certain organizations that have enterprise activity.
The enterprise activity component units are the University of California, the California Housing Finance
Agency, and nonmajor component units. In this report, all of the enterprise activity of the discretely
presented component units is reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements
and on separate pages following the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
1. Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when they are earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar
transactions are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider
have been met.
2. Fund Financial Statements
The measurement focus and basis of accounting for the fund financial statements vary with the type of
fund. Governmental fund types are presented using the current financial resources measurement focus.
With this measurement focus, operating statements present increases and decreases in net current assets;
the unassigned fund balance is a measure of available, spendable resources.
The accounts of the governmental fund types are reported using the modified accrual basis of
accounting. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recorded as they become measurable and
available, and expenditures are recorded at the time the liabilities are incurred. The State records revenue
sources when they are earned or when they are due, provided they are measurable and available within
the ensuing 12 months. When an asset is recorded in a governmental fund statement, but the revenue is
not available within the ensuing 12 months, the State reports a deferred inflow of resources until such
time as the revenue becomes available. Principal tax revenues susceptible to accrual are recorded as
taxpayers earn income (personal income and corporation taxes), as sales are made (consumption and use
taxes), and as a taxable event occurs (miscellaneous taxes), net of estimated tax overpayments. Principal
tax revenues are reported net of immaterial tax abatements from programs that promote economic
81
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
development and otherwise benefit the State, such as the Film and Television Tax Credit, the
California Competes Tax Credit, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, and the Sales and Use Tax
Exclusion Program.
Proprietary fund types and fiduciary fund types are accounted for using the economic resources
measurement focus.
The accounts of the proprietary fund types and fiduciary fund types are reported using the accrual basis
of accounting. Under the accrual basis, most transactions are recorded when they occur, regardless of
when cash is received or disbursed. Lottery revenue and the related prize expenses are recognized when
sales are made. Certain prizes are payable in deferred installments. Such liabilities are recorded at the
present value of amounts payable in the future.
Discretely presented component units are accounted for using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
D. Cash and Investments
The State considers cash and pooled investments, for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, as
cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand; deposits in the
State’s pooled investment program; restricted cash and pooled investments for debt service,
construction, and operations; restricted cash on deposit with fiscal agents (for example, revenue bond
trustees); and highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less.
The State reports investments at fair value, as prescribed by GAAP. Additional information on the
State’s investments and fair value measurement can be found in Note 3, Deposits and Investments.
E. Receivables
Amounts are aggregated into a single receivables account net of allowance for uncollectible
amounts. The detail of the primary government’s accounts receivable can be found in Note 4,
Accounts Receivable.
F. Inventories
Inventories of supplies are reported at cost and inventories held for resale are stated at the lower of
average cost or market. In the government-wide financial statements, inventories for both governmental
and business-type activities are expensed when they are consumed and unused inventories are reported
as an asset on the Statement of Net Position. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report
inventories as expenditures when purchased, and proprietary funds report inventories as expenditures
when consumed. The discretely presented component units have inventory policies similar to those of
the primary government.
82
Notes to the Financial Statements
G. Long-term Prepaid Charges
The long-term prepaid charges account in the enterprise funds primarily represents operating and
maintenance costs that will be recognized in the Water Resources Fund as expenses over the remaining
life of long-term state water supply contracts. These costs are billable in future years. In addition, the
account includes unbilled interest earnings on unrecovered capital costs that are recorded as long-term
prepaid charges. These charges are recognized when billed in the future years under the terms of water
supply contracts. Long-term prepaid charges are also included in the State Lottery Fund. These prepaid
charges are incurred in connection with certain contracts that extend beyond a one-year period, which
are amortized as expenses over the remaining life of the contracts. The long-term prepaid charges for the
Public Buildings Construction Fund, an internal service fund, include prepaid insurance costs on revenue
bonds issued. In the government-wide financial statements, the prepaid charges for governmental
activities include prepaid insurance costs on revenue bonds issued.
H. Capital Assets and Right-to-Use Assets
Capital assets are categorized into land, state highway infrastructure, collections, buildings and other
depreciable property, intangible assets, and construction in progress. The buildings and other depreciable
property account includes buildings, improvements other than buildings, equipment, certain
infrastructure assets, certain books, and other capitalized and depreciable property. Intangible assets
include computer software, land-use rights, patents, copyrights, trademarks, and right-to-use assets. The
value of the capital assets, including the related accumulated depreciation and amortization, is reported
in the applicable governmental, business-type, or component unit activities columns in the
government-wide Statement of Net Position.
The primary government has a large collection of historical and contemporary treasures that have
important documentary and artistic value. These assets are not capitalized or depreciated because they
are cultural resources and cannot reasonably be valued and/or the assets have inexhaustible useful lives.
These treasures and works of art include furnishings, portraits and other paintings, books, statues,
photographs, and miscellaneous artifacts. These collections meet the conditions for exemption from
capitalization because the collections are held for public exhibition, education, or research in furtherance
of public service, rather than financial gain; protected, kept unencumbered, cared for, and preserved; and
subject to an organizational policy that requires the proceeds from sales of collection items to be used to
acquire other items for collections.
In general, capital assets of the primary government are defined as assets that have a normal useful life
of at least one year and a unit cost of at least $5,000. These assets are recorded at historical cost or
estimated historical cost, including all costs related to the acquisition. Donated capital assets, donated
works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are
recorded at acquisition value on the date received. Major capital asset outlays are capitalized as projects
are constructed.
Buildings and other depreciable or amortizable capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line
method with no salvage value for governmental activities. Generally, buildings and other improvements
are depreciated over 40 years, equipment is depreciated over five years, and intangible assets are
amortized over 10 to 20 years. Depreciable or amortizable assets of business-type activities are
depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful or service lives,
ranging from one to 100 years.
83
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
California has elected to use the modified approach for capitalizing the infrastructure assets of the state
highway system. The state highway system is maintained by the California Department of
Transportation. By using the modified approach, the infrastructure assets of the state highway system are
not depreciated and all expenditures made for those assets, except for additions and improvements, are
expensed in the period incurred. All additions and improvements made after June 30, 2001 are
capitalized. All infrastructure assets that are related to projects completed prior to July 1, 2001 are
recorded at the historical costs contained in annual reports of the American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials and the Federal Highway Administration.
The capital assets of the discretely presented component units are reported at cost at the date of
acquisition or at fair market value at the date of donation, in the case of gifts. They are depreciated or
amortized over their estimated useful service lives.
The State is a lessee for various noncancelable leases of land, buildings, equipment. For leases that meet
the capitalization threshold of $100,000 or greater in total payments over the lease term, the State
recognizes right-to-use lease assets at the commencement of a lease. Right-to-use lease assets represent
the State’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Right-to-use lease assets are measured at
the initial value of the lease liability plus any payments made to the lessor before commencement of the
lease term, less any lease incentives received from the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease
term, plus any initial direct costs necessary to place the lease asset into service. Right-to-use lease assets
are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, ranging from two
to 50 years, using the straight-line method. Leases below the capitalization threshold and leases with a
maximum possible term of 12 months or less at commencement are expended or expensed as incurred.
The State has noncancelable SBITAs for the right to use information technology (IT) arrangements. For
SBITAs that meet the capitalization threshold of $50,000 or greater in total payments over the
subscription term, the State recognizes right-to-use SBITA assets at the commencement of a SBITA.
Right-to-use SBITA assets represent the State’s right to use underlying IT assets for the subscription
term. The right-to-use SBITA asset is measured at the initial value of the subscription liability, plus any
subscription payments made to the SBITA vendor before commencement of the subscription term and
capitalizable implementation costs, less any vendor incentive received at or before the SBITA
commencement date. The right-to-use SBITA asset is amortized over the shorter of the subscription term
or useful life of the underlying IT assets, ranging from two to 10 years, using the straight-line method.
SBITAs below the capitalization threshold and SBITAs with a maximum possible term of 12 months or
less at commencement are expended or expensed as incurred.
I. Long-term Obligations
Long-term obligations consist of various types of bonds and other long-term payables including
unmatured general obligation bonds, unmatured revenue bonds, lease liabilities, certificates of
participation, commercial paper, net pension liability, net other postemployment benefits liability,
employees’ compensated absences and workers’ compensation claims, pollution remediation
obligations, asset retirement obligations, amounts owed for lawsuits, reimbursement for costs mandated
by the State, outstanding Proposition 98 funding guarantee owed to schools, the liability for lottery
prizes and annuities, loans from other governments, and the primary government’s share of the
University of California’s pension liability that is due in more than one year. In the government-wide
financial statements, the obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities,
business-type activities, and component units columns of the Statement of Net Position. The current
84
Notes to the Financial Statements
portion—amount due within one year—of the long-term obligations is reported under current liabilities.
Pollution remediation obligations are recorded by the State when one or more of the GASB
Statement No. 49 obligating events have occurred and when a reasonable estimate of the remediation
cost is available. These liabilities are measured using actual contract costs, where no change in cost is
expected, or the expected cash flow technique. The remediation obligation estimates that appear in this
report are subject to change over time. Costs may vary due to price fluctuations, changes in technology,
changes in potential responsible parties, results of environmental studies, changes to statutes or
regulations, and other factors that could result in revisions to these estimates. Prospective recoveries
from responsible parties may reduce the State’s obligation.
Asset retirement obligations are recorded by the State when the internal and external obligating events
described in GASB Statement No. 83 have occurred and when a reasonable estimate of the cost to retire
certain tangible capital assets is available. The types of underlying assets include above ground and
underground fuel and chemical storage tanks, various medical equipment, dams, water treatment
facilities, bridges and other infrastructure, and electric power generating equipment. Asset retirement
obligation estimates are based on professional judgment, experience, and historical cost data, and are
subject to change over time due to price fluctuations, changes in technology, updated information from
engineering studies or other evaluations, changes to statutes or regulations, and other factors that could
result in revisions to these estimates.
Bond premiums and discounts for business-type activities and component units are deferred and
amortized over the life of the bonds. In these instances, bonds payable is reported net of the applicable
premium and discount. Bond premiums and discounts for governmental funds are reported as other
financing sources (uses). However, in the government-wide financial statements, the bonds payable for
governmental activities is reported net of the applicable unamortized premium and discount. Bond
issuance costs, excluding prepaid insurance, are expensed when incurred.
With advance approval from the Legislature, certain authorities and state agencies may issue revenue
bonds. Principal and interest on revenue bonds are payable from the pledged revenues of the respective
funds, building authorities, and agencies. The General Fund has no legal liability for payment of
principal and interest on revenue bonds. With the exception of certain special revenue funds
(Transportation and the Golden State Tobacco Securitization Corporation) and the building authorities
capital projects fund, the liability for revenue bonds is recorded in the respective fund.
Lease liabilities represent the State’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease contract.
Lease liabilities are recognized by the State at the lease commencement date based on the present value
of future lease payments expected to be made during the lease term. The present value of lease payments
is discounted based on a borrowing rate explicitly stated in the lease contract, the incremental borrowing
rate published on the State Controller’s website, or other determined incremental borrowing rates.
Variable lease payments based on future performance of the lessee or usage of the underlying asset are
expensed as incurred, and are not included in the measurement of the lease liability. Subsequent to their
initial measurement, lease liabilities are reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The
State assesses each lease liability annually for changes in the terms of the lease, interest rate, impairment
of the underlying leased asset, or other factors that may impact the expected future lease payments.
Lease amendments and other modifications could necessitate remeasuring the lease liability.
Subscription liabilities represent the State’s obligation to make subscription payments arising from a
SBITA contract. Subscription liabilities are recognized by the State at the SBITA commencement date
based on the present value of future subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription
85
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
term. The present value of subscription payments is discounted based on a borrowing rate explicitly
stated in the SBITA contract, the incremental borrowing rate published on the State Controller’s Office
website, or other determined incremental borrowing rates. Variable payments based on future
performance of the government, usage of the underlying IT assets, or number of user seats are expensed
as incurred, and are not included in the measurement of the subscription liability. The State assesses
each subscription liability annually for changes in the terms of the SBITA, interest rate, impairment of
the underlying IT assets, or other factors that may impact the expected future subscription payments.
SBITA amendments and other modifications could necessitate remeasuring the subscription liability.
Availability Payment Arrangement (APA) liabilities represent the State’s obligation to make APA
payments arising from an APA agreement where the operator provides the design, construction, or
financing of a nonfinancial asset whose ownership transfers to the State at the end of the agreement.
APA liabilities are recognized by the State when the APA asset is placed into service and are based on
the present value of future APA payments expected to be made during the APA term. The present value
of APA payments is discounted based on a borrowing rate explicitly stated in the APA agreement, the
incremental borrowing rate published on the State Controller’s Office website, or other determined
incremental borrowing rates. APA agreements are reported as a financed purchase by the State.
J. Compensated Absences
The government-wide financial statements report both the current and the noncurrent liabilities for
compensated absences, which are vested unpaid vacation, annual leave, and other paid leave programs.
However, unused sick-leave balances are not included in the compensated absences because they do not
vest to employees. In the governmental fund financial statements, only the compensated absences
liability for employees who have left state service and have unused reimbursable leave at fiscal year-end
is included. The amounts of vested unpaid vacation and annual leave accumulated by state employees
are accrued in proprietary funds when incurred. In the discretely presented component units, the
compensated absences are accounted for in the same manner as in the proprietary funds of the primary
government.
K. Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources
The government-wide and fund financial statements report deferred outflows of resources and deferred
inflows of resources.
1. Deferred Outflows of Resources
Deferred outflows of resources are the consumption of assets that are applicable to future reporting
periods. Deferred outflows of resources are presented separately after “Total Assets” in the Balance
Sheet and Statement of Net Position.
Deferred outflows of resources consist of the following transactions:
• Loss on Refunding of Debt: The defeasance of previously outstanding general obligation and
revenue bonds results in deferred refunding losses for governmental activities, business-type
activities, and component units. These deferred losses are recognized as a component of interest
expense over the remaining life of the old debt or the life of the new debt, whichever is shorter.
• Decrease in Fair Value of Hedging Derivative Instruments: Negative changes in the fair value of
hedging derivative instruments are reported for component units.
86
Notes to the Financial Statements
• Net Pension Liability: Increases in net pension liability that are not recognized in pension expense
for the reporting period are reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pensions.
Differences between expected and actual experience with regard to economic or demographic
factors; changes of assumptions about future economic or demographic factors, or of other inputs
used by the actuaries to determine total pension liability; and increases in the State’s proportionate
share of net pension liability for plans that have a special funding situation, such as CalSTRS, are
all recognized in pension expense over the average of the expected remaining service lives of
participating employees. A deferred outflow of resources is also reported when projected earnings
on pension plan investments exceed actual earnings, with the net difference amortized to pension
expense over a five-year period beginning in the current reporting period. Employer contributions,
and state contributions in the case of CalSTRS’ special funding situation, made subsequent to the
measurement date are reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pensions and reduce net
pension liability in the following year. Deferred outflows of resources related to net pension
liability are reported for governmental activities, business-type activities, fiduciary funds, and
component units.
• Net Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) Liability: Increases in net OPEB liability that are not
recognized in OPEB expense for the reporting period are reported as deferred outflows of
resources related to OPEB. Differences between expected and actual experience with regard to
economic or demographic factors; changes of assumptions about future economic or demographic
factors, or of other inputs used by the actuaries to determine total OPEB liability; and differences
between the actual and proportionate share of OPEB contribution amounts, are all recognized as
OPEB expense over the average of the expected remaining service lives of participating
employees. A deferred outflow of resources is also reported when projected earnings on OPEB
plan investments exceed actual earnings, with the net difference amortized to OPEB expense over
a five-year period beginning in the current reporting period. Employer contributions made
subsequent to the measurement date are reported as deferred outflows of resources related to
OPEB and reduce net OPEB liability in the following year. Deferred outflows of resources related
to net OPEB liability are reported for governmental activities, business-type activities, fiduciary
funds, and component units.
• Asset Retirement Obligations: Increases in asset retirement obligations that are not recognized as
expense in the current reporting period are reported as deferred outflows of resources for
component units.
2. Deferred Inflows of Resources
Deferred inflows of resources are the acquisition of assets that are applicable to future reporting periods.
Deferred inflows of resources are presented separately after “Total Liabilities” in the Balance Sheet and
Statement of Net Position.
The State’s deferred inflows of resources consist of the following transactions:
• Unavailable Revenues: Governmental funds report deferred inflows of resources for earned and
measurable revenue from long-term receivables that is not available within 12 months of the end of
the reporting period. These deferred amounts are recognized as revenue in the periods that they
become available.
87
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
• Gain on Refunding of Debt: The defeasance of previously outstanding general obligation and
revenue bonds results in deferred refunding gains for governmental activities and discretely
presented component units. These deferred gains are recognized as a component of interest
expense over the remaining life of the old debt or the life of the new debt, whichever is shorter.
• Service Concession Arrangements: The University of California, a discretely presented component
unit of the State, has entered into service concession arrangements with third parties for park
facility services, student housing, and certain other services. The facilities are reported as capital
assets when placed in service, and a corresponding deferred inflow of resources is reported.
• Irrevocable Split-Interest Agreements: The State and its discretely presented component units have
entered into irrevocable split-interest agreements with third parties to receive donations of
monetary assets and real property. The value of assets received or expected to be received from the
third parties are reported as deferred inflows of resources.
• Net Pension Liability: Reductions in net pension liability that are not recognized in pension
expense for the reporting period are reported as deferred inflows of resources related to pensions.
Differences between expected and actual experience with regard to economic or demographic
factors; changes of assumptions about future economic or demographic factors, or of other inputs
used by the actuaries to determine total pension liability; and decreases in the State’s proportionate
share of net pension liability for plans that have a special funding situation, such as CalSTRS, are
all recognized against pension expense over the average of the expected remaining service lives of
participating employees. A deferred inflow of resources is also reported when actual earnings on
pension plan investments exceed projected earnings, with the net difference amortized against
pension expense over a five-year period beginning in the current reporting period. Deferred
inflows of resources related to net pension liability are reported for governmental activities,
business-type activities, fiduciary funds, and component units.
• Net Other Postemployment Benefits Liability: Reductions in net OPEB liability that are not
recognized in OPEB expense for the reporting period are reported as deferred inflows of resources
related to OPEB. Differences between expected and actual experience with regard to economic or
demographic factors; changes of assumptions about future economic or demographic factors, or of
other inputs used by the actuaries to determine total OPEB liability; and differences between the
actual and proportionate share of OPEB contribution amounts, are all recognized against OPEB
expense over the average of the expected remaining service lives of participating employees. A
deferred inflow of resources is also reported when actual earnings on OPEB plan investments
exceed projected earnings, with the net difference amortized against OPEB expense over a
five- year period beginning in the current reporting period. Deferred inflows of resources related to
net OPEB liability are reported for governmental activities, business-type activities, fiduciary
funds, and component units.
• Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Leases: For lease contracts where the State is a lessor,
deferred inflows of resources are reported for governmental and proprietary funds, governmental
activities, business-type activities, and component units. Deferred inflows of resources related to
leases are recognized as inflows of resources (revenue) on a straight-line basis over the term of
each lease contract.
88
Notes to the Financial Statements
• Other Deferred Inflows of Resources: Revenues generated from current rates charged by regulated
business-type activities that are intended to recover costs expected to be incurred in the future are
reported in the government-wide Statement of Net Position. A component unit’s sale of future
royalty payments and nonexchange transactions are reported as a deferred inflow of resources.
L. Nonmajor Enterprise Segment Information
Four nonmajor enterprise fund segments are displayed discretely in the Combining Statement of Net
Position; the Combining Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position; and the
Combining Statement of Cash Flows of the nonmajor enterprise funds. A segment is an identifiable
activity reported as or within an enterprise fund or another stand-alone entity for which debt is
outstanding and a revenue stream has been pledged in support of that debt. In addition, to qualify as a
segment, an activity must be subject to an external requirement to separately account for revenues,
expenses, gains and losses, assets and deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows
of resources. All of the activities reported for the fund segments listed below meet these requirements.
State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund: Interest charged on loans to communities for
construction of water pollution control facilities and projects.
Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund: Interest charged on loans to communities for
construction of water systems for drinking water infrastructure projects.
Housing Loan Fund: Interest payments from low-interest, long-term farm and home mortgage loan
contracts to eligible veterans living in California.
Electric Power Fund: The acquisition and resale of electric power to retail end-use customers, and
charges to public utilities for wildfire prevention and recovery.
M. Net Position and Fund Balance
The difference between fund assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of
resources is called “net position” on the government-wide financial statements, the proprietary and
fiduciary fund statements, and the component unit statements; it is called “fund balance” on the
governmental fund statements.
1. Net Position
The government-wide financial statements include the following categories of net position:
Net investment in capital assets represents capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced
by the outstanding debt attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
Restricted net position results from transactions with purpose restrictions and is designated as either
nonexpendable or expendable. Nonexpendable restricted net position is subject to externally
imposed restrictions that must be retained in perpetuity. Expendable restricted net position is subject
to externally imposed restrictions that can be fulfilled by actions of the State. As of June 30, 2023,
the government-wide financial statements show restricted net position for the primary government of
$76.5 billion, of which $19.2 billion is due to enabling legislation.
Unrestricted net position is neither restricted nor invested in capital assets.
89
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
2. Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, proprietary funds include categories of net position similar to those in
the government-wide financial statements. Fund balance amounts for governmental funds are reported as
nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned.
Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable
form (inventories; prepaid amounts; long-term portion of loans or notes receivable; or property held
for resale unless the proceeds are restricted, committed, or assigned) or they are legally or
contractually required to remain intact.
Restricted fund balance has constraints placed upon the use of the resources either by an external
party (creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments) or through a
constitutional provision or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance can be used only for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by
state law as adopted by the California State Legislature. The state law that commits fund balance to a
specific purpose must have been adopted prior to the end of the reporting period, but the amount
subject to the constraint may be determined in a subsequent period. Committed fund balance
incorporates contractual obligations to the extent that existing resources in the fund have been
specifically committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements.
Assigned fund balance: California does not have a formal policy to delegate authority to assign
resources. However, fund balance can be classified as assigned when a purchase order creates an
outstanding encumbrance amount, unless the purchase order relates to restricted or committed
resources. Furthermore, in governmental funds created by state law for a specific purpose, other than
the General Fund, all resources that are not reported as nonspendable, restricted, or committed are
classified as assigned for the purpose of the respective funds.
Unassigned fund balance is the residual amount of the General Fund not included in the four
classifications described above. In other governmental funds in which expenditures incurred for
specific purposes exceeded amounts restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, a negative
unassigned fund balance is reported.
Fund balance spending order: For the purpose of reporting fund balance in this financial report under
GASB Statement No. 54, the State considers resources to be spent in the following order when an
expenditure is incurred for which these classifications are available: restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned.
Fiduciary fund net position represents amounts held in trust for pension and other postemployment
benefits, deferred compensation or pool participants, individuals, organizations, or other governments.
3. Stabilization Arrangements
a. Budget Stabilization Account
In accordance with Article 16, Section 20 of the California State Constitution, the State maintains the
Budget Stabilization Account. The Budget Stabilization Account is reported in the General Fund. By
90
Notes to the Financial Statements
October 1 of each fiscal year, a transfer must be made from the General Fund to the Budget Stabilization
Account in an amount equal to one-half of (a) 1.5% of the estimated General Fund revenues for that
fiscal year and (b) personal capital gains tax revenues in excess of 8.0% of estimated General Fund taxes
for that fiscal year less amounts that must be spent on Proposition 98. The remaining half of the
calculated amount is used as appropriated by the State Legislature to pay down (a) interfund loans,
(b) specified debts to local governments, and (c) debts for pension and retiree health benefits.
The State Legislature may suspend or reduce the transfer of funds to, or withdrawal of funds from, the
Budget Stabilization Account if the Governor declares a budget emergency. For this purpose, budget
emergency means either (a) a natural disaster or other event that creates a condition of extreme peril to
the safety of persons or property, or (b) there is not enough money to keep General Fund spending at the
highest level of the past three fiscal years (adjusted for changes in state population and cost of living).
The amount of the withdrawal from the Budget Stabilization Account is limited to the actual amount
needed for the natural disaster or to keep General Fund spending at the highest level of the past three
years. In addition, if no budget emergency occurred in the prior fiscal year, then no more than one-half
of the Budget Stabilization Account balance may be withdrawn; however, the entire remaining balance
may be withdrawn in the second straight year of a budget emergency.
When the balance of the Budget Stabilization Account reaches 10% of the estimated General Fund
revenues for that fiscal year, the amount that would have been transferred to the Budget Stabilization
Account would instead be used to build and maintain infrastructure. At June 30, 2023, the Budget
Stabilization Account had a restricted fund balance of $22.3 billion.
b. Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties
State law established the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties (SFEU) as a contingency reserve to
help the State meet its General Fund obligations in the event of declining revenues or unanticipated
expenditures. A control section of the State’s Budget Act establishes the annual reserve balance of the
SFEU, but that amount would be reduced if certain constitutionally defined excess revenue limits are
met during the fiscal year. In addition, SFEU funds may be set aside in a separate account and
committed for disaster response operation costs incurred by state agencies as a result of a proclamation
of a state of emergency by the Governor. The SFEU is a discretionary budget reserve and is available
without additional legislative action to meet the cash needs of the General Fund and to eliminate any
General Fund deficit at the end of a fiscal year. The SFEU is reported in the General Fund, and at
June 30, 2023, the SFEU represented $3.3 billion of the unassigned balance of the General Fund.
c. Public School System Stabilization Account
State law established the Public School System Stabilization Account (PSSSA) as a reserve specifically
for schools and community colleges. The State deposits Proposition 98 funding into this reserve when it
receives high levels of capital gains revenue and the minimum guarantee is growing relatively quickly,
and will withdraw funding from the reserve under certain conditions—generally when the guarantee is
growing slowly relative to inflation and student attendance. If the Governor declares a budget
emergency, the Legislature can make discretionary withdrawals. At June 30, 2023, the PSSSA
represented $9.5 billion of cash reported in the General Fund, $8.4 billion of which was due to other
governments. Accordingly, the PSSSA reported no fund balance as of June 30, 2023.
91
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
N. Restatement of Beginning Fund Balances and Net Position
1. Fund Financial Statements
The beginning fund balance of governmental funds increased by $8.3 billion. The increase is comprised
of the following items:
• Increases to the Federal Fund beginning balance of $9.2 billion for a prior period correction of
ineligible unemployment claims, and $8 million for restatement of pandemic program activity.
• Decreases to the General Fund beginning balance of $912 million for a prior period correction of
grant accruals, $8 million for restatement of pandemic program activity, and $14 million due to
unemployment benefit overpayments.
• A $69 million increase to the beginning balance of the Environmental and Natural Resources
Fund due to the shift in activity described below for the Custodial Fund.
• A $29 million decrease to the beginning balance of the Health Care Related Programs Fund to
recognize prior year pass through expenditures.
• A $3 thousand increase to nonmajor governmental funds due to unreported prior year activity.
The beginning net position of enterprise funds decreased by $207 million. The decrease is comprised of
$130 million in net adjustments to prior period unemployment benefit payments in the Unemployment
Programs Fund, and a $77 million restatement to nonmajor enterprise funds to correct the beginning
balances of accounts receivable. The beginning balance of cash and pooled investments in the California
State University Fund was restated by $333 million to comply with GASB Statement No. 84, which
resulted in the reallocation of cash aggregated for centralized state payroll. There was no impact to the
fund’s net position.
The beginning net position of discretely presented component units increased by $2 million. The
restatement is comprised of a $10 million increase for the University of California due to the
implementation of GASB Statement No. 96 and an $8 million decrease in the beginning net position of a
nonmajor discretely presented component unit to reflect the implementation of new accounting
standards and corrections of accounting errors. Further information related to the University’s
restatement is included in its separately issued financial statements, which can be obtained from its
website at www.ucop.edu.
The beginning net position of the Custodial Fund decreased by $69 million due to a shift in activity
between custodial funds and governmental funds to comply with GASB Statement No. 84.
2. Government-wide Financial Statements
The beginning net position of governmental activities increased by $9.1 billion. In addition to the
$8.3 billion increase described in the previous section for governmental funds, the restatement also
includes a $594 million increase due to the recognition of availability payment arrangements from the
implementation of GASB Statement No. 94; a $218 million increase due to understatement of prior
period capital assets; a $42 million increase due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 96; and
a $30 million decrease due to understatement of prior period pollution remediation obligations.
The beginning net positions of business-type activities and discretely presented component units were
restated as described in the previous sections for enterprise funds and discretely presented component
units, respectively.
92
Notes to the Financial Statements
O. Guaranty Deposits
The State is the custodian of guaranty deposits held to protect consumers, to secure the State’s deposits
in financial institutions, and to ensure payment of taxes and fulfillment of obligations to the State.
Guaranty deposits of securities and other properties are not shown on the financial statements.
NOTE 2: BUDGETARY AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE
A. Budgeting and Budgetary Control
The State’s annual budget is primarily prepared on a modified accrual basis for governmental funds. The
Governor recommends a budget for approval by the Legislature each year. This recommended budget
includes estimated revenues, but revenues are not included in the annual budget bill adopted by the
Legislature. Under state law, the State cannot adopt a spending plan that exceeds estimated revenues.
Under the State Constitution, money may be drawn from the treasury only through a legal appropriation.
The appropriations contained in the Budget Act, as approved by the Legislature and signed by the
Governor, are the primary sources of annual expenditure authorizations and establish the legal level of
control for the annual operating budget. The budget can be amended throughout the year by special
legislative action, budget revisions by the Department of Finance, or executive orders of the Governor.
Amendments to the original budget for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, increased the spending
authority for the budgetary/legal basis-reported General Fund, Transportation Funds, Environmental and
Natural Resources Funds, and the Health Care Related Programs Funds.
Appropriations are generally available for expenditure or encumbrance either in the year appropriated or
for a period of three years if the legislation does not specify a period of availability. At the end of the
availability period, the encumbering authority for the unencumbered balance lapses. Some
appropriations continue indefinitely, while others are available until fully spent. Generally,
encumbrances must be liquidated within two years from the end of the period in which the appropriation
is available. If the encumbrances are not liquidated within this additional two-year period, the spending
authority for these encumbrances lapses.
B. Legal Compliance
State agencies are responsible for exercising basic budgetary control and ensuring that appropriations are
not overspent. The State Controller’s Office is responsible for overall appropriation control and does not
allow expenditures in excess of authorized appropriations.
Financial activities are mainly controlled at the appropriation level but can vary, depending on the
presentation and wording contained in the Budget Act. The Budget Act appropriations are identified by
department, reference item, and fund. The annual appropriated budget may establish detailed allocations
to specific programs, projects, or sources of reimbursement within an appropriation. The Department of
Finance can authorize adjustments between the detail allocations but cannot increase the amount of the
overall appropriation. While the financial activities are controlled at various levels, the legal level of
budgetary control—the extent to which management may amend the budget without seeking approval of
the governing body—has been established in the Budget Act for the annual operating budget.
93
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
The Budgetary Comparison Schedule is not presented in this document at the legal level of budgetary
control because such a presentation would be extremely lengthy and cumbersome. The State prepares a
separate report, the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report Supplement, which includes statements
that demonstrate compliance with the legal level of budgetary control in accordance with GASB’s
Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, section 2400.121. The
supplement includes the comparison of the annual appropriated budget with expenditures at the legal
level of control. A copy of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report Supplement is available upon
email request to the State Controller’s Office, State Accounting and Reporting Division at
StateGovReports@sco.ca.gov or visit State Government Annual Financial Reports.
NOTE 3: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
Cash balances not required for immediate use are invested by the State Treasurer. The State Treasurer
administers a single pooled investment program comprising both an internal investment pool and an
external investment pool (the Local Agency Investment Fund). A single portfolio of investments exists,
with all participants having an undivided interest in the portfolio. Both pools are administered in the
same manner.
A. Primary Government
1. Control of State Funds
The State’s pooled investment program and certain funds of the primary government are allowed by
state statutes, bond resolutions, and investment policy resolutions to invest in U.S. government
securities, federal agency securities, negotiable certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, commercial
paper, corporate bonds, bank notes, other debt securities, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase
agreements, and other investments.
Certain discretely presented component units and related organizations participate in the State
Treasurer’s Office pooled investment program. As of June 30, 2023, these discretely presented
component units and related organizations account for approximately 1.91% of the State Treasurer’s
pooled investment portfolio. This program enables the State Treasurer’s Office to combine available
cash from all funds and to invest cash that exceeds current needs.
Both deposits and investments are included in the State’s investment program. For certain banks, the
State Treasurer’s Office maintains cash deposits that cover uncleared checks deposited in the State’s
accounts and earn income that compensates the banks for their services.
Demand and time deposits held by financial institutions as of June 30, 2023, totaling approximately
$6.6 billion, were insured by federal depository insurance or by collateral held by the State Treasurer’s
Office or an agent of the State Treasurer’s Office in the State’s name. The California Government Code
requires that collateral pledged for demand and time deposits be deposited with the State Treasurer.
As of June 30, 2023, the State Treasurer’s Office had on deposit with a fiscal agent amounts totaling
$19 million related to principal and interest payments to bondholders. These deposits were insured by
federal depository insurance or by collateral held by an agent of the State Treasurer’s Office in the
State’s name.
94
Notes to the Financial Statements
Certain funds have elected to participate in the pooled investment program even though they have the
authority to invest on their own. Others may be required by legislation to participate in the program; as a
result, the deposits of these funds may be considered involuntary. However, these funds are part of the
State’s reporting entity. The remaining participant in the pool, the Local Agency Investment Fund,
is voluntary.
Certain funds that have deposits in the State Treasurer’s pooled investment program do not receive the
interest earnings on their deposits. Instead, by law, the earnings are assigned to the State’s General Fund.
Most of the $2.3 billion in interest revenue received by the General Fund from the pooled investment
program in the fiscal year 2022-23 was earned on balances in these funds.
Enterprise funds and special revenue funds also make separate investments, which are presented at
fair value.
2. Valuation of State Investments
The State Treasurer’s Office reports its investments at fair value. The State Treasurer’s Office performs
a quarterly fair market valuation of the pooled investment program portfolio. The fair value of securities
in the State Treasurer’s pooled investment program is generally based on quoted market prices. In
addition, the State Treasurer’s Office performs a monthly fair market valuation of all securities held
against carrying cost. These valuations can be obtained from the State Treasurer’s Office website at
www.treasurer.ca.gov.
95
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Table 1 categorizes fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair
value of the assets and liabilities. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in
active markets at the date of measurement. Level 2 inputs are significant other directly or indirectly
observable inputs other than quoted prices. Debt securities classified in Level 2 are valued using a
matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on its relationship to similar
securities with an active market. Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The State has no
investments measured at Level 3.

Notes to the Financial Statements
As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average maturity of the securities in the pooled investment program
administered by the State Treasurer’s Office was approximately 263 days. Weighted average maturity is
the average number of days, given a dollar-weighted value of individual investments, that the securities
in the portfolio have remaining from evaluation date to stated maturity.
3. Oversight of Investing Activities
The Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) provides oversight of the State Treasurer’s pooled
investment program. The purpose of the board is to design and administer an effective cash management
and investment program, using all monies flowing through the State Treasurer’s Office bank accounts
and keeping all available funds invested in a manner consistent with the goals of safety, liquidity, and
yield. The PMIB is comprised of the State Treasurer as chair, the State Controller, and the Director of
Finance. This board designates the amounts of money available for investment. The State Treasurer is
charged with making the actual investment transactions for this program. This investment program is not
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company.
The value of the deposits in the State Treasurer’s pooled investment program, including the Local
Agency Investment Fund, is equal to the dollars deposited in the program. The fair value of the position
in the program may be greater or less than the value of the deposits, with the difference representing the
unrealized gain or loss. As of June 30, 2023, this difference was immaterial to the valuation of the
program. The pool is run with “dollar-in, dollar-out” participation. There are no share-value adjustments
to reflect changes in fair value.
The State Treasurer’s pooled investment program values participants’ shares on an amortized cost basis.
Specifically, the program distributes income to participants quarterly, based on their relative
participation during the quarter. This participation is calculated based on (a) realized investment gains
and losses calculated on an amortized cost basis, (b) interest income based on stated rates (both paid and
accrued), (c) amortization of discounts and premiums on a straight-line basis, and (d) investment and
administrative expenses. This amortized cost method differs from the fair value method used to value
investments in these financial statements; the amortized cost method is not designed to distribute to
participants all unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of the pool’s investments. Because the total
difference between the fair value of the investments in the pool and the value distributed to pool
participants using the amortized cost method described above is not material, no adjustment was made to
the financial statements. The State Treasurer’s Office also reports participant fair value as a ratio of
amortized cost on a quarterly basis. The State Treasurer’s Office has not provided or obtained a legally
binding guarantee to support the principal invested in the investment program.
As of June 30, 2023, structured notes and medium-term asset-backed securities comprised
approximately 1.52% of the pooled investments. A portion of the structured notes was callable agency
securities, which represented 1.35% of the pooled investments. The asset-backed securities consist of
mortgage-backed securities, Small Business Administration (SBA) pools, and asset-backed commercial
paper. The mortgage-backed securities, called real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs), are
securities backed by pools of mortgages. The REMICs in the State’s portfolio have a fixed principal
payment schedule. A portion of the asset-backed securities consisted of floating-rate SBA notes. For
floating-rate SBA notes held in the portfolio during the fiscal year, the interest received by the State
Treasurer’s pooled investment program rose or fell as the underlying index rate rose or fell. The
structure of the floating-rate SBA notes in the State Treasurer’s pooled investment program portfolio
provided a hedge against the risk of increasing interest rates. A portion of the asset-backed portfolio
97
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
holdings were short-term, asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP), which represented 1.39% of the
pooled investments.
Table 2 identifies the investment types that are authorized by the California Government Code and the
State Treasurer’s Office Investment Policy for the Pooled Investment Program. Maturities are limited by
the State Treasurer’s Office Investment Policy for the Pooled Money Investment Program. For
commercial paper, the Investment Policy matches the Government Code. For corporate bonds and notes,
the Government Code requires that a security falls within the top three ratings of a nationally recognized
statistical ratings organization (NRSRO). Items reported as N/A have no limitation in either the
Government Code or the State Treasurer’s Office Investment Policy.

4. Risk of Investments
The following types of risks are common in deposits and investments, including those of the State:
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that the value of fixed-income securities will decline because of
changing interest rates. The prices of fixed-income securities with longer time to maturity tend to be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than those with shorter durations.
Credit Risk is the risk that a debt issuer will fail to pay interest or principal in a timely manner, or
that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make these payments will cause security prices to
decline.
Custodial Credit Risk is the risk that in the event a financial institution or counterparty fails, the
investor will not be able to recover the value of deposits, investments, or collateral.
Concentration of Credit Risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investor’s holdings
in a single issuer.
Foreign Currency Risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an investment or a deposit.

Notes to the Financial Statements
a. Interest Rate Risk
Table 3 presents the interest rate risk of the primary government’s investments. In calculating SBA
holdings’ weighted average maturity, the State Treasurer’s Office assumes that stated maturity is the
quarterly reset date. Total pooled investments do not include $5.1 billion of time deposits and
$359 million of internal loans to state funds. Most mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S.
government agencies, or government-sponsored enterprises such as the Federal National Mortgage
Association, and entitle the purchaser to receive a share of the cash flows, such as principal and interest
payments, from a pool of mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities are highly sensitive to interest rate
changes because principal prepayments either increase (in a low interest rate environment) or decrease
(in a high interest rate environment) the security yield. As of June 30, 2023, only $3 million, or less than
0.01% of the total pooled investments, was invested in mortgage-backed securities.

c. Custodial Credit Risk
The State has a deposit policy for custodial credit risk that requires deposits held by financial institutions
to be insured by federal depository insurance or secured by collateral. As of June 30, 2023, there were
no guaranteed investment contracts.
d. Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the State Treasurer’s Office contains no limitations on the amount that can be
invested in any one issuer beyond those limitations stipulated in the California Government Code. As of
June 30, 2023, the State had investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling 8.9% of the total
pooled investments and other primary government investments.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 9: LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
As of June 30, 2023, the primary government had long-term obligations totaling $306.9 billion. Of that
amount, $8.3 billion is due within one year. Governmental activities had a net increase in long-term
obligations of $23.1 billion, primarily due to an increase of $32.2 billion in net pension liability offset by
a decrease of $10.0 billion in net other postemployment benefits (OPEB) liability. Other significant
increases included general obligation bonds payable of $1.3 billion. Increases to governmental activities
also included a $161 million restatement to the beginning balance of subscription liability due to the
implementation of GASB Statement No. 96, and a $1.0 billion restatement to the beginning balance of
other long-term obligations due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 94.
Not included in the mandated cost claims payable shown in Table 12 are certain state-mandated
programs that are in the adjudication process. Until the Commission on State Mandates rules on a test
claim and the claim’s parameters and guidelines are established, expected costs cannot be reasonably
determined; however, a positive finding for any of the claimants could individually or in aggregate pose
a significant cost to the State.
As of June 30, 2023, pollution remediation obligations increased by $121 million from the prior fiscal
year-end, to $1.8 billion. Under federal Superfund law, responsibility for pollution remediation is placed
on current and previous owners or operators of polluted sites. Currently, the State’s most significant
Superfund site is the Stringfellow Class 1 Hazardous Waste Disposal Facility (Stringfellow) located in
Riverside County. As of June 30, 2023, the State estimates that remediation costs at Stringfellow will
total $577 million. At BKK Landfill in Los Angeles County, an obligating event has occurred that will
likely result in a liability to the State, but a reasonable estimate of the remediation cost cannot be
determined at this time. BKK is a closed Class 1 landfill site at which the State is conducting
post-closure care. In addition to Superfund sites, the State’s other pollution remediation efforts include
underground storage tank removal and cleanup, cleanup of polluted groundwater, and contaminated soil
removal and cleanup as required by state law.
The primary government has identified tangible capital assets with associated retirement obligations.
Some of these assets have a legally enforceable liability associated with their retirement, but the liability
is not yet reasonably estimable. Examples include dams, sewer systems, waste ponds, bridges, roadways,
and certain long-term use equipment. The State either has no prior experience decommissioning these
types of assets to develop an estimate, or the assets are maintained indefinitely so an estimated useful
life cannot be determined. The State will record the asset retirement obligations for such assets once they
are reasonably estimable. The remaining measurable asset retirement obligations are immaterial.
The State receives a share of net profits generated by the operations of the Wilmington Oil Field.
Various unit and production agreements control the character of the oil operations, including the liability
associated with the future abandonment of the oil and gas wells and facilities. The State’s share of the
liability is apportioned based on its net profit interest, among other factors. The State retains a large
majority of the total abandonment liability at the end of oil operations. As of June 30, 2023, the State
estimates that the oil field abandonment liability is $1.0 billion, and the State has reserves of
$300 million in the Environmental and Natural Resources Fund (a special revenue fund) to liquidate
future oil field abandonment costs.
The other long-term obligations for governmental activities consist of Water Resources Revolving Fund
notes payable of $26 million, availability payment arrangements of $1.0 billion, lessee-type financed
112
Notes to the Financial Statements
purchases of $23 million, Technology Services Revolving Fund notes payable of $28 million and a
Transportation Fund performance obligation of $512 million. The net pension liability, net OPEB
liability, compensated absences, and availability payment arrangements will be liquidated by the
General Fund, special revenue funds, capital projects funds, and internal service funds. Workers’
compensation and leases will be liquidated by the General Fund, special revenue funds, and internal
service funds. The General Fund will liquidate the Proposition 98 funding guarantee, lawsuits, and
reimbursement of costs incurred by local agencies and school districts for costs mandated by the State.
Overall, business-type activities experienced a net increase in long-term obligations of $1.4 billion.
Significant increases included $3.4 billion in net pension liability offset by a decrease of $2.5 billion in
net OPEB liability. Increases to business-type activities included a $95 million restatement to the
beginning subscription liability due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 96.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 10: PENSION TRUSTS
The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) provides retirement benefits to eligible
employees of the State, public agencies, and public schools through single-employer, agent
multiple-employer, and cost-sharing plans. The California State Teachers’ Retirement System
(CalSTRS) provides pension benefits to full-time and part-time employees of the State’s public school
system. Both are fiduciary component units of the State, and their financial activity is included in the
pension and other employee benefit trust funds column of the fiduciary funds and similar component
units’ financial statements of this report.
CalPERS administers four defined benefit retirement plans: the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund
(PERF), the Judges’ Retirement Fund (Judges’), the Judges’ Retirement Fund II (Judges’ II), and the
Legislators’ Retirement Fund (Legislators’). CalPERS also administers two defined contribution plans:
the Public Employees’ Deferred Compensation Fund and the Supplemental Contributions Program
Fund.
The PERF accounts for the majority of assets and liabilities reported for CalPERS’ plans. CalPERS
issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary
information for these plans. The report may be found on CalPERS’ website at www.CalPERS.ca.gov.
Contributions to CalPERS’ pension trust funds are recognized in the period in which the contributions
are due, pursuant to legal requirements. Benefits and refunds in the defined benefit plans are recognized
when due and payable in accordance with the terms of each plan.
CalSTRS administers four defined benefit retirement plans within the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan:
the Defined Benefit Program, the Defined Benefit Supplement Program, the Cash Balance Benefit
Program, and the Replacement Benefits Program. CalSTRS also administers two defined contribution
plans: the Pension2 403(b) Plan and the Pension2 457(b) Plan. CalSTRS issues a publicly available
financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for these
plans. This report may be found on its website at www.CalSTRS.com.
Member, employer, and state contributions to CalSTRS’ pension plans are recognized in the period in
which the contributions are required by statute. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and
payable, in accordance with the retirement and benefits programs.
Fifty-eight county superior courts (trial courts) are included in the primary government. Either CalPERS
or the counties administer the pension plans in which the trial courts participate.
For the purpose of measuring net pension liability, deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources
related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net positions of CalPERS’
plans and CalSTRS’ plans, and changes to the plans’ fiduciary net positions have been determined on
the same basis as reported by the plans.
The University of California, a discretely presented component unit, administers the University of
California Retirement System (UCRS), which consists of two defined benefit plans funded with
University and employee contributions, and four defined contribution plans with options to participate in
internally or externally managed investment portfolios generally funded with employee non-elective and
elective contributions. The State does not directly contribute to the UCRS. Additional information on the
116
Notes to the Financial Statements
UCRS can be found in the University’s separately issued financial statements on its website at
www.ucop.edu.
A. California Public Employees’ Retirement System
1. Public Employees’ Retirement Fund (PERF)
Plan Description: The PERF is comprised of and reported as three separate entities for financial
reporting purposes, of which the State reports only PERF A. PERF A is comprised of agent
multiple-employer plans, which include the State of California and most public agencies’ rate plans with
more than 100 active members. PERF B is a cost-sharing multiple-employer plan comprised of school
employers and consisting of non-teaching and non-certified employee members. PERF C is a cost-
sharing multiple-employer plan comprised of public agencies’ plans that generally have fewer than 100
active members. Employers participating in the PERF as of June 30, 2022, included the primary
government and certain discretely presented component units; 1,335 school employers, including charter
schools; and 1,601 public agencies. As the State is not an employer in PERF B or PERF C, the term
PERF is used hereafter to refer exclusively to the agent multiple-employer plans that include employees
of the primary government and certain discretely presented component units.
CalPERS acts as the common investment and administrative agent for participating employers. State
employees served by the PERF include first- and second-tier miscellaneous and industrial employees,
California Highway Patrol (CHP) employees, peace officers and firefighters, and other safety members.
Benefits Provided: All employees in a covered class of employment who work half-time or more are
eligible to participate in the PERF. The PERF provides retirement, death, disability, and survivor
benefits. Vesting occurs after five years, or after ten years for second-tier employees. The benefit
provisions are established by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) and the Public Employees’
Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and are summarized in Appendix B of the State’s June 30, 2021
Actuarial Valuation Report, which may be found on the CalPERS website at www.CalPERS.ca.gov. In
general, retirement benefits for the PERF plans are based on a formula using a member’s years of
service credit, age at retirement, and final compensation (average salary for a defined period of
employment). Retirement formulas vary based on:
• Classification (e.g., miscellaneous, safety, industrial, CHP, or peace officers and firefighters);
• Membership category (pre-PEPRA and post-PEPRA); and
• Specific provisions in employees’ contracts.
The four basic types of retirement are:
• Service Retirement – The normal retirement is a lifetime benefit. In most cases, employees become
eligible for service retirement as early as age 50 with five years of service credit. If the employee
became a member on or after January 1, 2013, he or she must be at least 52 years old with at least
five years of service to retire. Second-tier employees (miscellaneous and industrial) become
eligible at age 55 with at least 10 years of service credit.
• Vested Deferred Retirement – Vested members who leave employment but keep their contribution
balances on deposit with CalPERS are eligible for this benefit.
• Disability Retirement – Vested members who can no longer perform the usual duties of their
current position due to illness or injury may receive this benefit.
117
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
• Industrial Disability Retirement – This benefit is available for eligible safety members, industrial
employees, CHP employees, and peace officers and firefighters who are unable to perform the
usual duties of their current position due to job-related illness or injury.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms: The State’s June 30, 2022 Actuarial Valuation Report provides
information about the number of employees by type covered within the various PERF plans. Table 13
shows the number of employees covered by the benefit terms of each of the PERF plans as of the most
recent valuation.

Contributions: Section 20814(c) of PERL requires that the employer contribution rates for all public
employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following
notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual
actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance
the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any
unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially
determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Employer contribution rates may change if plan
contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are
identified by pension plan terms as plan member contribution requirements are classified as plan
member contributions.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: The total pension liability for PERF plans was measured as of
June 30, 2022 (measurement date), by rolling forward the total pension liability determined by the
June 30, 2021 actuarial valuation (valuation date), based on the actuarial methods and assumptions
shown in Table 15.
Table 15
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – PERF Plans
Valuation date: June 30, 2021
Actuarial cost method: Entry age normal in accordance with the requirements of GASB 68
Actuarial assumptions:
Discount rate 6.9%
Inflation 2.30%
Salary increases Varies by entry age and service
Investment rate of return 6.90% net of pension plan investment expense but without reduction for
administrative expenses; includes inflation
Mortality Mortality rates are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study adopted by the
CalPERS Board, and incorporate full generational mortality improvement using 80%
of Scale MP-2020, published by the Society of Actuaries
Post-retirement benefit The lesser of Contract COLA or 2.30% until Purchasing Power Protection Allowance
adjustments (COLAs) floor on purchasing power applies; 2.30% thereafter
Discount Rate: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90% for the PERF.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan
members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers
will be made at actuarially determined statutorily required rates. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s
fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of
current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied
119
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. The stress test results
are presented in the GASB Crossover Testing Report, which may be found on CalPERS’ website at
www.CalPERS.ca.gov
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which expected ranges of future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and
long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected
compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach.
The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10
basis points.
Table 16 shows the long-term expected geometric real rate of return by asset class for all plans in the
PERF.

Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions: For
the PERF plans, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the State recognized pension expense of
$9.0 billion. At June 30, 2023, the State reported deferred outflows of resources from contributions
made by the State to the PERF plans subsequent to the measurement date of June 30, 2022, but prior to
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Differences between expected and actual experience are recognized
as deferred outflows and inflows of resources. The changes of assumptions are recognized as deferred
outflows and inflows of resources. The aggregate differences (positive and negative) between projected
and actual earnings on pension plan investments arising in different measurement periods are reported as
net deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources related to contributions subsequent to
the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the
subsequent year.

2. Single-employer Plans
Plan Description: CalPERS administers three single-employer defined benefit retirement plans.
Judges’ – Judges’ membership includes judges working in the California Supreme Court, the courts
of appeal, and the superior courts who were appointed or elected prior to November 9, 1994.
Judges’ is funded on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, where short-term investments, contributions
received during the year, and a General Fund augmentation are used to provide funding for benefit
payments.
Judges’ II – Judges’ II membership includes judges working in the California Supreme Court, the
courts of appeal, and the superior courts, who were appointed or elected on or after
November 9, 1994. There are two types of service retirement available for plan members: the
Defined Benefit Plan and the Monetary Credit Plan, in which members can choose a single lump
sum payment or annuity at retirement.
Legislators’ – Legislators’ was established in 1947; its members consist of state legislators,
constitutional officers, and legislative statutory officers. The PEPRA closed Legislators’ to new
participants effective January 1, 2013.
Benefits Provided: All employees in a covered class of employment who work on a half-time basis or
more are eligible to participate. The benefits for the defined benefit plans are based on a member’s years
of service, age, final compensation, and benefit formula. Benefits are provided for disability, death, and
survivors of eligible members or beneficiaries. Members become fully vested in their retirement benefits
earned to date, to the extent funded, after five years of credited service. Benefits are established in
accordance with the provisions of the Judges’ Retirement Law, Judges’ Retirement System II Law, and
Legislators’ Retirement Law. Additional information is available in the Actuarial Valuation Report for
each plan, which may be found on CalPERS’ website at www.CalPERS.ca.gov.
Judges’ – The four basic types of retirement are:
• Service Retirement – Members must be at least age 60 with 20 years of service or age 70 with at
least 10 years of service.
• Deferred Retirement – Vested members are eligible for deferred retirement at any age with at
least five years of service.
• Disability Retirement (non-work related) – There is no age requirement, but there may be a
service requirement depending on when the member became a judge. The retirement allowance
is 65% of a judge’s final salary, or 75% of his or her final salary if the judge has 20 or more
years of service.
• Disability Retirement (work-related) – There is no age or service requirement if the disability is
a result of work-related injury or disease. The retirement allowance is the same as non-work-
related disability retirement.
• Death Benefits – Beneficiaries may receive 25% of a current active judge’s salary for life if the
judge was not eligible for retirement. Beneficiaries receive one-half of what the retirement
allowance would have been if the judge was retired on the date of death.
127
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Judges’ II – The four basic types of retirement are:
• Service Retirement – Judges must be at least age 65 with 20 years of service or age 70 with a
minimum of five years of service to receive the defined benefit plan. Judges must have at least
five years of service to receive the monetary credit plan.
• Disability Retirement (non-work-related) – Judges who have five years of service and become
permanently disabled because of a mental or physical disability may apply to the Commission
on Judicial Performance for disability retirement.
• Disability Retirement (work-related) – Judges receive 65% of their average monthly salary
earned during the 12 or 36 months preceding their retirement date, regardless of age or length of
service.
• Death Benefits – Beneficiaries receive the judge’s monetary credits or three times the annual
salary at the time of death, whichever is greater, if the judge was not eligible for retirement.
Beneficiaries receive one-half of the retirement pension for life if the judge was retired on the
date of death.
Legislators’ – The three basic types of retirement are:
• Service Retirement – Members must be age 60, with four or more years of service credit, or any
age with 20 or more years. The retirement age for legislative statutory officers is 55, or any age
with 20 years or more of service credit.
• Disability Retirement – Disability retirement uses the same formula as service retirement. There
is no reduction for members of the Legislature if retirement is before age 60.
• Death Benefits – Beneficiaries have multiple options depending on whether the member was
eligible for retirement or was retired at the time of death.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms: The June 30, 2022 actuarial valuation reports for each single-
employer plan provide information about the number of employees by type covered within the plans.
Table 21 shows the number of employees covered by the benefit terms of each of the single-employer
plans as of the most recent valuation.

Active employees.................................................................................... 99 1,625 2 1,726
Total.................................................................................................... 1,748 2,072 194 4,014
Contributions: As Judges’ is funded on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, the contributions made will be less
than the actuarially determined contribution requirement of normal cost plus a 10-year amortization of
the unfunded accrued liability. The actual contribution is the estimated amount of benefit payouts during
the year. Currently, Judges’ member contributions are 8.0% of pay. In certain situations, employers
make member contributions.
128
Notes to the Financial Statements
Judges’ II contribution rates are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process as
required by section 75600.5(c) of the PERL. Classic members contribute 8.0% of their annual
compensation to the plan. The base total normal cost rate for PEPRA new members was re-determined
in the June 30, 2022 actuarial valuation as 32.1%. The percentage changes in any given year only once
the change to the total normal cost is greater than 1.0% from the base total normal cost. The new
member rate should be 50% of the new normal cost rounded to the nearest quarter percentage.
For Legislators’, contribution rates are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process
as required by section 9358 of the PERL. The minimum employer contribution rate under PEPRA is the
greater of the actuarially determined employer rate or the employer normal cost.
Table 22 shows the average active employee and the employer contribution rates for each of the
single-employer plans as a percentage of annual pay for the measurement period ended June 30, 2022.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: The total pension liability for single-employer plans was
measured as of June 30, 2022 (measurement date), by rolling forward the total pension liability
determined by the June 30, 2021 actuarial valuations (valuation date), based on the actuarial methods
and assumptions shown in Table 23.
Table 23
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – Single-employer Plans
Valuation date: June 30, 2021
Actuarial cost method: Entry age normal in accordance with the requirements of GASB 68
Actuarial assumptions:
Discount rate Judges’ 3.69%, Judges’ II 6.15%, Legislators’ 4.85%
Inflation All single-employer plans – 2.30%
Salary increases All single-employer plans – 2.80%
Investment rate of return Judges’ 3.69%, Judges’ II 6.15%, Legislators’ 4.85%, net of pension plan investment
without reduction of administrative expense
Mortality Mortality rates are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study adopted by the
CalPERS Board, and incorporate full generational mortality improvement using 80%
of Scale MP-2020, published by the Society of Actuaries
Post-retirement benefit Judges’ – 2.80%
adjustments (COLAs) Judges’ II – 2.30%
Legislators’ – 2.30%
Discount Rate: To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a
discount rate for each plan, CalPERS stress-tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate
that would differ from the actuarially assumed discount rate. For the single-employer plans, the
following rates were used:
Judges’ – 3.69%, reflecting the short-term nature of the assets. As the plan is insufficiently funded,
CalPERS uses a discount rate of 3.69%, which falls within a reasonable range of yields on 20-year
tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA.

With the exception of Judges’, which uses a lower rate of return, the information regarding the discount
rate and the long-term expected real rate of return described previously for the PERF plans is also
applicable to the single-employer plans. GAAP requires that the long-term discount rate should be
determined without reduction for pension plan administrative expense.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
B. California State Teachers’ Retirement System
The State reports a net pension liability, deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources, and
expenses as a result of its statutory requirement to contribute to the State Teachers’ Retirement Fund as a
non-employer contributing entity.
Plan Description: CalSTRS administers the State Teachers’ Retirement Fund, which is an employee
benefit trust fund created to finance the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan (STRP). The STRP is a
cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that provides retirement, disability, and
survivor benefits to teachers and certain other employees of the California public school system. Four
programs comprise the STRP: the Defined Benefit (DB) Program, the Defined Benefit Supplement
(DBS) Program, the Cash Balance Benefit (CBB) Program, and the Replacement Benefits (RB)
Program. CalSTRS issues a publicly available financial report, which may be found on CalSTRS’
website at www.CalSTRS.com.
Benefits Provided: Membership in the DB Program is mandatory for all employees meeting certain
statutory requirements. The DB Program provides retirement benefits based on a member’s age, final
compensation, and years of service credit. In addition, the retirement program provides benefits to
members upon disability and to their survivors or beneficiaries upon the death of eligible members. The
Teachers’ Retirement Law establishes the benefits for the DB Program. The DB Program had 1,800
contributing employers, 458,000 active and 235,000 inactive program members, and 329,000 benefit
recipients as of June 30, 2023. The payroll for employees covered by the DB Program for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $40.1 billion.
Membership in the DBS Program is automatic for all members of the DB Program. The DBS Program
provides benefits based on the amount of funds contributed. Vesting in the DBS Program occurs
automatically with vesting in the DB Program. The Teachers’ Retirement Law establishes the benefits
for the DBS Program. The primary government does not contribute to the DBS Program.
Contributions: The DB Program contribution rates are based on the provisions of AB 1469 and
Education Code section 22955.1(b). The Legislature may amend these provisions at any time and submit
the amendment to the Governor for approval. The contribution rates for members and employers for the
reporting period were 10.21% and 16.92% of creditable compensation, respectively. The General Fund
contributed an additional 6.311% of total creditable compensation of the fiscal year ending in the prior
calendar year. Contributions will remain at 6.311% in the next year and may increase until the fiscal
year 2045-46. Accordingly, the State contributed $3.7 billion for the fiscal year 2022-23. CalSTRS’
June 30, 2021 Defined Benefit Actuarial Valuation Report may be found on CalSTRS’ website at
www.CalSTRS.com.
The CBB Program is designed for employees of California public schools who are hired to perform
creditable service for less than 50% of the full-time equivalent for the position. Employer participation
in the CBB Program is optional. However, if the employer elects to offer the CBB Program, then each
eligible employee will automatically be covered by the CBB Program, unless the member elects to
participate in the DB Program or an alternative plan provided by the employer within 60 days of hire or
the election period determined by the employer. At June 30, 2022, the CBB Program had 29 contributing
school districts and 41,419 contributing participants.
136
Notes to the Financial Statements
The RB Program is a qualified excess benefits arrangement for DB Program members that is
administered through a separate pension trust apart from the other three STRP programs; it was
established in accordance with Internal Revenue Code section 415(m). Internal Revenue Code section
415(b) imposes a dollar limit on the annual retirement benefits an individual may receive from a
qualified defined benefit pension plan. Monthly contributions that would otherwise be credited to the
DB program are instead credited to the RB Program to fund monthly program costs. Monthly employer
contributions are received and paid to members in amounts equal to the benefits not paid as a result of
Internal Revenue Code section 415(b), subject to withholding for any applicable income or employment
taxes. At June 30, 2022, 316 individuals were receiving benefits from the RB program.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: The total pension liability in the June 30, 2021 actuarial
valuation (valuation date) was determined using the actuarial methods and assumptions shown in
Table 29, applied to the measurement period ended June 30, 2022.
Table 29
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – CalSTRS

Consumer price inflation.............................................................................................. 2.75%
Wage growth................................................................................................................ 3.50%
Post-retirement benefit increases (COLAs)................................................................. 2.00% simple
CalSTRS uses a generational mortality assumption, which involves the use of a base mortality table and
projection scales to reflect expected annual reductions in mortality rate at each age, resulting in increases
in future life expectancies. CalSTRS uses base mortality tables customized to best fit the patterns of
mortality among its members. The projection scale was set to equal to 110% of the ultimate
improvement factor from the Mortality Improvement Scale table, issued by the Society of Actuaries.
Discount Rate: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.10%. The projection
of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members and
employers will be made at statutory contribution rates in accordance with the rate increases created by
AB 1469. Projected inflows from investment earnings were calculated using the long-term assumed
investment rate of return (7.10%) and assuming that contributions, benefit payments, and administrative
expense occur midyear. Based on those assumptions, the STRP’s fiduciary net position was projected to
be available to make all projected future benefit payments to current plan members. Therefore, the
long-term assumed investment rate of return was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the total pension liability.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-
block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net
of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. The best
estimate ranges were developed using capital market assumptions from CalSTRS’ general investment
consultant as an input to the process. The actuarial investment rate of return assumption was adopted by
the board in 2020 in conjunction with the most recent experience study. For each future valuation,

CalSTRS’ consulting actuary reviews the return assumption for reasonableness based on the current
capital market assumptions.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources
Related to Pensions: CalSTRS’ net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2022 (measurement
date), by applying update procedures and rolling forward the total pension liability determined by the
actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021 (valuation date). The State’s proportion of the net pension
liability was based on CalSTRS’ calculated non-employer contributions to the pension plan relative to
the total contributions of the State and all participating school districts. Per CalSTRS’ revenue
recognition policy, CalSTRS recognizes state contributions for the entire fiscal year at the beginning of
each fiscal year. Contributions excluded from the proportionate share per CalSTRS’ policy include
employer contributions for retirement incentives, additional service credit, and unused sick leave. As of
June 30, 2022, the State’s proportionate share of the CalSTRS’ net pension liability was 33.37%, or
$23.2 billion; this amount is reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide
Statement of Net Position as of June 30, 2023.
138
Notes to the Financial Statements
As a result of its requirement to contribute to CalSTRS, the State recognized expense of $2.4 billion for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, and reported deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources as
shown in Table 31.

C. Trial Court Pension Plans
Plan Description: The 58 trial courts are reported as part of the primary government. Twenty-two of
the trial courts provide pension benefits to their respective employees through cost-sharing
multiple-employer defined benefit plans administered by their respective county public employee
retirement systems. Thirty-six of the trial courts participate in county retirement plans administered by
CalPERS. Of those participating in CalPERS plans, 32 trial courts provide pension benefits to their
respective employees through agent multiple-employer defined benefit plans, and one trial court
provides pension benefits to its respective employees through a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined
benefit plan. Information pertaining to the remaining three trial courts that participate in county
retirement plans administered by CalPERS will be presented in future reporting years as available.
Benefits Provided, Contributions, and Employees Covered by Benefit Terms: To obtain information on
eligibility terms, benefits provided, contributions, and actuarial assumptions from individual trial court
pension actuarial valuation reports, email the State Controller’s Office, State Accounting and Reporting
Division at StateGovReports@sco.ca.gov.
Net Pension Liability Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: The net pension liability of 52 trial courts
was measured as of each individual plan’s measurement date, by applying update procedures and rolling
forward the total pension liability determined by the actuarial valuation as of each individual plan’s
valuation date, based on the actuarial methods and assumptions used by each plan. For 30 of the
CalPERS agent multiple-employer defined benefit plans, the net pension liability was measured as of
June 30, 2022, and valued as of June 30, 2021. For 16 of the cost-sharing multiple-employer defined
benefit plans, the net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2022. Of these plans, five had a
valuation date of June 30, 2022, and 11 had a valuation date of June 30, 2021. For six of the cost-
sharing multiple-employer plans, the net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2022. Of
these plans, three had an actuarial valuation date of December 31, 2021, two had a valuation date of
January 1, 2022, and one had a valuation date of December 31, 2022. Two agent multiple-employer

used to measure the total pension liability of each trial court that participates in a cost-sharing multiple
employer defined benefit plan ranged from 6.42% to 7.25% as of the respective measurement date.
Pension Accounting Elements: For the trial court pension plans, the State reported total pension
liability of $11.9 billion and fiduciary net position of $9.5 billion, which resulted in a net pension
liability of $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2023. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the State recognized
pension expense of $285 million. At June 30, 2023, the State reported deferred outflows of resources of
$1.2 billion and deferred inflows of resources of $365 million. The reported deferred outflows of
resources included $360 million from pension contributions the trial courts made subsequent to the
measurement date. These contributions will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 11: OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The State provides medical and prescription drug benefits to annuitants and their dependents under the
Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act, and dental benefits under the State Employees’
Dental Care Act, through the State of California Retiree Health Benefits Program (Retiree Health
Benefits Program). The Retiree Health Benefits Program consists of a number of defined benefit other
postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans, to which the State contributes as an employer. The State also
offers life insurance, long-term care, and vision benefits to retirees; however, because these benefits are
completely paid for by the retirees, the State has no liability. The design of health and dental benefit
plans can be amended by the CalPERS Board of Administration and the California Department of
Human Resources, respectively. CalPERS is a fiduciary component unit of the State, and its financial
activity is included in the pension and other employee benefit trust funds column of the fiduciary funds
and similar component units’ financial statements of this report.
Fifty-eight county superior courts (trial courts) are included in the primary government. The trial courts
offer OPEB outside of the Retiree Health Benefits Program and have separately issued actuarial
valuation reports. Additional information related to the trial courts is provided in section B.
For the purpose of measuring net OPEB liability, deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources
related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net positions of the Retiree Health
Benefits Program and the trial court OPEB plans, and changes to the plans’ fiduciary net positions, have
been determined on the same basis as reported by the plans.
The University of California, a discretely presented component unit, administers the University of
California Retiree Health Benefit Trust (UCRHBT), which consists of single-employer OPEB plans that
provide medical, dental, and vision benefits to eligible retirees and their dependents. The costs of
medical and dental benefits are shared between the University and participating retirees. These costs are
funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, and the University does not contribute toward the cost of other benefits
available to retirees. The State does not directly contribute to the UCRHBT. Additional information on
the UCRHBT can be found in the University’s separately issued financial statements on its website at
www.ucop.edu.
A. Retiree Health Benefits Program
Plan Description: Employer and retiree contributions to the Retiree Health Benefits Program (the
Program) are established and amended by state law for different groups of employees. Through the
collective bargaining process and through state law, certain bargaining units, judicial employees, and
Exempt, Excluded, and Executive (EEE) employees (valuation groups) have begun prefunding retiree
healthcare and dental benefits. Assets are held in separate state subaccounts by valuation group within
the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust Fund (CERBTF), an agent multiple-employer trust
administered by CalPERS for the prefunding of health, dental, and other non-pension benefits. In
accordance with California Government Code section 22940, assets accumulated in the CERBTF will be
invested and are not available to pay benefits until the earlier of 2046, or the date the funded ratio of the
subaccount of a particular valuation group reaches at least 100% of the actuarially determined liability
for the valuation group, and then only for the purposes of paying benefits of annuitants and dependents
associated with that valuation group.
142
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Program has 17 different valuation groups that include different categories of employees. Effective
July 1, 2018, valuation groups 1, 3, 4, 11, 14, 15, 17, 20 and 21, were consolidated as one actuarial
valuation group, Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Valuation groups that have
accumulated prefunding assets in a CERBTF subaccount are reported as separate OPEB plans. As of the
June 30, 2023 reporting date, these valuation groups included SEIU as well as Bargaining Units 2, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 18, 19, the Judicial Branch, and EEE employees. The OPEB plans for SEIU as
well as Bargaining Units 5, 6, 9, and 12 are each reported discretely. The OPEB plans for Bargaining
Units 2, 7, 8, 10, 13, 16, 18, 19, the Judicial Branch, and EEE employees are collectively reported as
“Other Funded Plans.” The remaining valuation groups (the California State University and Other) for
which the State made contributions through the CERBTF on a “pay-as-you-go” basis to fund benefit
payments are collectively reported as the “Unfunded Plan.” Prefunding contributions to the CERBTF are
nonrefundable, and state employees have no claims or rights to the assets. CalPERS reports on the
CERBTF as part of its separately issued annual financial statements, which can be obtained from
CalPERS on its website at www.CalPERS.ca.gov.
The OPEB plans have common benefit terms and are valued using common actuarial methods and
assumptions, with the exception of certain demographic and economic assumptions that are specific to
certain valuation groups. The valuation groups also have different prefunding contribution rates
determined through collective bargaining and state law.
Benefits Provided: Benefit terms are governed by state law and can be amended by the Legislature. To
be eligible for OPEB benefits, annuitants must retire within 120 days of separation from employment.
Survivors of eligible annuitants may also enroll within 60 days of the annuitant’s death. Dependents of
annuitants who are enrolled or eligible to enroll at the time of the annuitant’s death qualify for benefits.
Annuitants who qualify for premium-free Medicare Part A, either on their own or through a spouse,
must enroll in Medicare Part B coverage as soon as they qualify for Medicare Part A. The annuitant
must then enroll in a Medicare supplemental insurance plan sponsored by CalPERS, which lowers the
costs of retirees’ health care premiums and provides some coverage beyond Medicare.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms: Detailed information about the number of employees covered
within the OPEB plans is provided in the State of California Retiree Health Benefits Program GASB
Nos. 74 and 75 Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2022 (June 30, 2022 Actuarial Valuation
Report), on the State Controller’s Office website, at www.sco.ca.gov.

Note: Inactive employees that are entitled to, but not receiving benefits are not currently being tracked.
Contributions: The contribution requirements of plan members and the State are established and may
be amended by the Legislature, and can be subject to collective bargaining. In accordance with the
California Government Code, the State generally pays 100% of the health insurance premium cost for
annuitants, plus 90% of the additional premium required for the enrollment of annuitants’ family
members. The State generally pays all or a portion of the dental insurance premium cost for annuitants,
depending on the completed years of credited state service at retirement and the dental coverage selected
by the annuitant, as specified in the California Government Code. The State funds the cost of providing
health and dental insurance to annuitants primarily on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, with a modest amount of
prefunding for members of SEIU, Bargaining Units 5, 6, 9, 12, and other funded plans. See Table 38 for
details on the fiduciary net positions of the OPEB plans. The maximum 2022 monthly State contribution
was $816 for one-party coverage, $1,548 for two-party coverage, and $1,983 for family coverage. For
the year ended June 30, 2022, the State contributed $4.0 billion toward annuitants’ health and dental
benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes for the
OPEB plans include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the established
pattern of sharing benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial
methods and assumptions used are consistent with a long-term perspective.
144
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2022 (the measurement date), total OPEB liability for each
plan was based on the actuarial methods and assumptions shown in Table 36.
Table 36
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – Retiree Health Benefits Program
Valuation date: June 30, 2022
Actuarial cost method: Entry age normal in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 75
Actuarial assumptions:
Discount rate Blended rate for each valuation group, consisting of 6.00% when assets are available
to pay benefits, otherwise 20-year Municipal G.O. Bond AA Index rate of 3.69%
Inflation 2.30%
Salary increases Varies by entry age and service
Investment rate of return 6.00%, net of OPEB plan investment expenses but without reduction for OPEB
plan administrative expenses
Healthcare cost trend rates Pre-Medicare coverage: Actual rates for 2023, increasing to 7.00% in 2024, grading
down to 4.50% from 2029 to 2037, and 4.25% for 2038 and later years
Post-Medicare coverage: Actual rates for 2023, increasing to rates ranging from
7.00% to 8.06% in 2024, grading down to 4.50% from 2031 to 2037, and 4.25% for
2038 and later years
Dental coverage: 0.03% for 2023, 2.00% for 2024, 3.00% for 2025, 4.00% for 2026,
and 4.25% for 2027 and later years
Mortality Derived using CalPERS’ membership data for all members
Other demographic assumptions used in the June 30, 2022 valuation were based on the results of the
2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report for the period from 2000
to 2019 and included updates to termination, disability, and retirement rates. The CalPERS experience
study can be obtained from CalPERS’ website at www.CalPERS.ca.gov.
Healthcare-related assumptions such as plan participation, aging factors, adjustments for disabled
members, and adjustments for children of current retirees and survivors are based on the State of
California Retiree Health Benefits Program 2018 Experience Review performed by Gabriel, Roeder,
Smith and Company (GRS) for the period from 2014 to 2018. Other healthcare assumptions such as
member healthcare plan selection, coverage and continuance, select and ultimate healthcare cost trend
rates, and per capita claim costs and expenses are based on the most current information available. The
2018 GRS Experience Review can be obtained from the State Controller’s Office website, at
www.sco.ca.gov.
Investment Rate of Return: The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was
determined by GRS using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major
asset class. Expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over a closed period. Based on
separate expected real returns for the short-term (first five years) and the long-term (six-20 years), and
an average inflation assumption of 2.30%, a single expected return rate of 6.00% was calculated for the
combined short-term and long-term periods. If applied to expected cash flows during that period, the
145
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
resulting present value of benefits is expected to be consistent with the present value of benefits that
would be determined by applying the short and long-term expected rates to the same cash flows.
Table 37 shows the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class.
Table 37
Long-term Expected Real Rate of Return by Asset Class
Target Asset Real Return Real Return
Asset Class Allocation Years 1 – 5 Years 6 - 20

Real Estate Investment Trusts....................................................... 20.0 3.00 3.90
Commodities.................................................................................. 3.0 0.80 1.20
Total........................................................................................... 100.0 %
Discount Rates: The blended rates used to measure the June 30, 2022 total OPEB liability consist of the
20-year Municipal G.O. Bond AA Index rate of 3.69% as of June 30, 2022, as reported by Fidelity,
when prefunding assets are not available to pay benefits, and 6.00% when prefunding assets are
available to pay benefits. The cash flow projections used to calculate the blended discount rates were
developed assuming that prefunding agreements in which actuarial determined normal costs are shared
between employees and the State will continue and that the required contributions will be made on time
and as scheduled in future years. The actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022 includes the impact of the
temporary suspensions of employee contributions under the Personal Leave Program that was in effect
during the years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022. The prefunding agreements are subject to
collective bargaining and legislative approval. Detailed information on the blended discount rates by
valuation group is available in the State of California Retiree Health Benefits Program GASB Nos. 74
and 75 Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2022, on the State Controller’s Office website, at
www.sco.ca.gov.
Blended rates for the June 30, 2023 valuation will be determined using the Fidelity Index 20-year
Municipal G.O. Bond AA Index rate of 3.86% when prefunding assets are not available to pay benefits.

positions is available in the separate report issued by CalPERS, at www.CalPERS.ca.gov.
OPEB Expense and Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB: The
State recognized OPEB expense for the OPEB plans of $737 million for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Deferred outflows of resources are recognized for changes of assumptions, for employer contributions
subsequent to the measurement date, and for the difference between expected and actual experience.
Deferred inflows of resources are recognized for changes of assumptions and for the difference between
expected and actual experience. Net deferred outflows of resources are recognized for the aggregate
difference (positive and negative) between projected and actual earnings on the OPEB plans’
investments occurring in different measurement periods.

B. Trial Court OPEB Plans
Plan Description: The 58 trial courts are reported as part of the primary government, but each trial
court may utilize a separate OPEB plan, where OPEB is offered to employees, and obtain a separate
actuarial valuation report for GASB Statement No. 75 reporting purposes. One trial court (Los Angeles)
participates in both an agent multiple-employer defined benefit OPEB plan and a single-employer plan,
three trial courts (Alameda, Orange, and San Diego) participate in county administered cost-sharing
multiple-employer defined benefit OPEB plans, 39 trial courts participate in an agent multiple-employer
defined benefit OPEB plan, and 11 trial courts participate in single-employer defined benefit OPEB
plans. Four trial courts (Fresno, Mendocino, San Benito, and Stanislaus) do not have an OPEB plan.
Benefits Provided, Contributions, and Employees Covered by Benefit Terms: To obtain information
on eligibility terms, benefits provided, contributions, and actuarial assumptions from individual trial
court OPEB actuarial valuation reports, email the State Controller’s Office, State Accounting and
Reporting Division at StateGovReports@sco.ca.gov.
Net OPEB Liability Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: For two of the trial court valuations, the net
OPEB liability was measured as of December 31, 2022 (measurement date), and the remaining 52
valuations had a measurement date of June 30, 2022. One of the courts had an actuarial valuation date of
December 31, 2021, and 53 courts were valued as of June 30, 2021.

Discount Rates: The discount rates used to measure the total OPEB liability were based on either a
single or a blended rate for each trial court. The blended rates used to measure the June 30, 2022 total
OPEB liability consist of the 20-year Municipal G.O. Bond AA Index rate of 3.69% as of June 30, 2022,
when prefunding assets are not available to pay benefits, and full funding discount rates ranging from
4.45% to 7.00% when prefunding assets are available to pay benefits. Single rates range from 3.69% to
7.00%. The projections of cash flows used to determine the discount rates assumed that plan
contributions will be made according to funding policy, benefits will be paid out of OPEB trusts until
assets are depleted, and employer contributions will first be applied to employee service costs in
each period.
OPEB Accounting Elements: For the trial court OPEB plans, the State reported total OPEB liability of
$1.9 billion and fiduciary net position of $289 million, which resulted in a net OPEB liability of
$1.6 billion as of June 30, 2023, reported in governmental activities. For the year ended June 30, 2023,
the State recognized OPEB expense of $43 million. At June 30, 2023, the State reported deferred
outflows of resources of $288 million and deferred inflows of resources of $517 million. Deferred
outflows of resources included $92 million from OPEB contributions made subsequent to the
measurement date, which will be recognized as a reduction of the net OPEB liability in the year ended
June 30, 2024.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 12: COMMERCIAL PAPER AND OTHER LONG-TERM BORROWINGS
The primary government has two commercial paper borrowing programs: a general obligation
commercial paper program and an enterprise fund commercial paper program for the Department of
Water Resources. Commercial paper (new issuance or rollover notes that replace maturing new
issuances) may be issued at the prevailing market rate, not to exceed 11% for the general obligation and
12% for the Department of Water Resources enterprise fund program, for periods not to exceed 270 days
from the date of issuance. The proceeds from the initial issuance of commercial paper are used for
voter-approved projects of the general obligation bond program and certain state water projects. For both
commercial paper borrowing programs, the commercial paper is retired by the issuance of long-term
debt, so commercial paper is considered a noncurrent liability.
To provide liquidity for the programs, the State has entered into revolving credit agreements with credit
providers such as commercial banks, which total the maximum authorized issuance of general obligation
and enterprise fund commercial paper notes. As of June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings with the
banks under the revolving credit agreements. The current “Letter of Credit” agreements for the general
obligation commercial paper program authorize the issuance of notes in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $2.5 billion. As of June 30, 2023, the general obligation commercial paper program had
$1.3 billion in outstanding commercial paper notes for governmental activities. The current agreements
for the enterprise fund commercial paper program authorize the issuance of notes in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $1.4 billion. As of June 30, 2023, the enterprise fund commercial paper
program had $250 million in outstanding notes.
The primary government has a bond anticipation note program that consists of borrowing for capital
improvements on certain California State University campuses. As of June 30, 2023, $152 million in
outstanding bond anticipation notes existed in anticipation of the primary government issuing revenue
bonds to the public.
The University of California, a discretely presented component unit, has a commercial paper program
and other uncollateralized borrowings. Additional disclosures for the University’s commercial paper and
other long-term borrowings are included in the University’s separately issued financial statements,
which can be obtained from the University on its website at www.ucop.edu.
NOTE 13: LEASES AND SUBSCRIPTION-BASED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
ARRANGEMENTS
The State leases land, buildings, equipment, and other assets as a lessee under a variety of non-
cancelable long-term lease agreements. The State also has noncancelable subscription-based information
technology arrangements (SBITAs) for the right to use information technology software. As of June 30,
2023, the primary government had a lease liability of $2.5 billion and a subscription liability of
$136 million for governmental activities. For business-type activities, the lease liability was
$358 million, and the subscription liability was $67 million. The State is required to make principal and
interest payments through maturity of the lease and SBITA agreements. For governmental activities, the
required payments are discounted using either the rates explicit in the lease and SBITA agreements or
the State’s incremental borrowing rates. The State’s incremental borrowing rates ranged from 2.40% to
3.22%, depending on the duration of the lease or subscription term at the inception of each lease or
SBITA agreement during the 2022-23 fiscal year. Required payments for business-type activities are
discounted using the rates explicit in the lease and SBITA agreements, the State’s incremental
borrowing rates, or other determined incremental borrowing rates.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 15: GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS
The State Constitution permits the primary government to issue general obligation bonds for specific
purposes and in such amounts as approved by a two-thirds vote of both houses of the Legislature and by
a majority of voters in a general or direct primary election. The debt service for general obligation bonds
is appropriated from the General Fund. Under the State Constitution, the General Fund is used first to
support the public school system and public institutions of higher education; the General Fund can then
be used to service the debt on outstanding general obligation bonds. Enterprise funds and certain other
funds reimburse the General Fund for any debt service that it provides on their behalf. General
obligation bonds that are directly related to, and are expected to be paid from, the resources of enterprise
funds are included as a liability of such funds in the financial statements. However, the General Fund
may be liable for the payment of any principal and interest on these bonds that is not met from the
resources of such enterprise funds.
As of June 30, 2023, the State had $70.7 billion in outstanding general obligation bonds related to
governmental activities and $663 million related to business-type activities. In addition, $26.6 billion in
long-term general obligation bonds had been authorized but not issued, of which $25.8 billion is related
to governmental activities and $804 million is related to business-type activities. The total amount
authorized but not issued (which may first be issued as commercial paper notes) includes $9.1 billion
authorized by the applicable finance committees for issuance in the form of commercial paper notes or
bonds. In addition, the State had $1.3 billion in general obligation indebtedness in the form of
commercial paper notes had been issued but not yet retired by long-term bonds as of June 30, 2023.
A. Variable-rate General Obligation Bonds
The State issues both fixed and variable-rate general obligation bonds. As of June 30, 2023, the State
had $727 million in variable-rate general obligation bonds outstanding, consisting of $219 million in
daily-rate bonds with credit enhancement, and $508 million in weekly-rate bonds with credit
enhancement. The interest rates associated with the credit-enhanced bonds are determined by the
remarketing agents, to be the lowest rate that would allow the bonds to sell on the effective date of such
rate at a price (without regard to accrued interest) equal to 100% of the principal amount. The interest on
variable-rate bonds is generally paid on the first business day of each calendar month.
The credit-enhanced bonds are secured by letters of credit that secure payment of principal and interest
on the bonds and, as applicable, payment of purchase price upon tender by the holder. The State has
entered into different credit agreements with various banks (credit providers) for one or more series of
credit-enhanced bonds. Under these credit agreements, the credit providers agree to pay all principal and
interest payments to the bondholders up to a commitment amount identified in the applicable credit
agreement; the State is then required to reimburse the credit providers for the amounts paid. In return,
the credit providers are compensated with commitment fees that are calculated as a percentage of the
applicable commitment amount. The bondholders have the right to tender the bonds on any business day
in accordance with the applicable bond documents. Upon a tender, the remarketing agent will attempt to
remarket the tendered bond to a new investor. If the remarketing of the tendered bond is unsuccessful,
the bond will be purchased by the applicable credit provider and become a bank bond and accrue interest
at higher rates, which cannot exceed 11% as permitted by law until remarketed, redeemed, or paid at
maturity. If a bond cannot be remarketed and remains a bank bond for a period ranging from 90 days to
180 days, the bond will be subject to amortization payments in equal installments under the terms stated
in the applicable credit agreement. The amortization period may exceed the expiration date of the
164
Notes to the Financial Statements
applicable credit agreement. A bank bond may be remarketed at any time during the amortization period.
There were no bank bonds during the 2022-23 fiscal year.
The letters of credit for the Series 2003 variable-rate bonds have expiration dates of December 16, 2024;
August 25, 2025; and May 10, 2028. The letter of credit for the Series 2004 variable-rate bonds has an
expiration date of January 16, 2024. The letters of credit for the Series 2005 variable-rate bonds have
expiration dates of November 18, 2024; April 22, 2025; and May 8, 2026.
Sinking fund deposits for the variable-rate general obligation bonds are set aside in a sinking fund at the
beginning of each fiscal year; such deposits are required and will continue for each fiscal year with
scheduled sinking fund payments. The deposits set aside in any fiscal year may be applied, with
approval of the State Treasurer and the appropriate bond finance committees, to the redemption or
purchase and retirement of any other general obligation bonds (bonds other than the bonds to which the
sinking fund deposits relate) then outstanding. If a sinking fund deposit is not applied by January 31 of
that fiscal year to such other bonds, the State Treasurer will select the related variable-rate general
obligation bonds that will be redeemed in whole or in part on an interest payment date in that fiscal year.
The required sinking fund deposits were set aside for the 2022-23 fiscal year.
B. Build America Bonds
As of June 30, 2023, the State had $11.3 billion in taxable various-purpose general obligation bonds
outstanding that were issued as “Build America Bonds” under the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA) signed into law on February 17, 2009. The bonds have scheduled maturity dates in
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2027, 2034, and 2039 to 2041. Pursuant to ARRA, the State receives a
cash subsidy payment from the U. S. Treasury equal to 35% of the interest payable by the State on the
Build America Bonds on or near each interest payment date. Subsequent federal legislation reduced the
Build America Bonds subsidy by 5.7% for the federal fiscal years ending September 30, 2021 to
September 30, 2030. The cash payment does not constitute a full faith and credit guarantee of the federal
government, but is required to be paid by the U. S. Treasury under ARRA. The subsidy payments are
deposited into the State’s General Fund.

C. Debt Service Requirements
Table 46 shows the debt service requirements for all general obligation bonds as of June 30, 2023. The
estimated debt service requirements for the $727 million variable-rate general obligation bonds are
calculated using the actual interest rates in effect on June 30, 2023. The amounts include scheduled
mandatory sinking fund redemptions but do not reflect any interest subsidy under the Build America
Bonds program or any other offsets to general fund costs of debt service.

D. General Obligation Bond Defeasances
1. Current Year Activity
On September 20, 2022, the primary government issued $1.0 billion in general obligation bonds to
current refund $1.1 billion in outstanding fixed and variable-rate general obligation bonds with principal
redemptions scheduled in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 to 2033, 2036 to 2037, and 2043. As a
result, the refunded bonds are considered defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed
from the financial statements. The refunding decreased overall debt service by $115 million and resulted
in an economic gain of $79 million. The economic gain is the difference between the present value of
the old debt service requirements and the present value of the new debt service requirements, discounted
at 3.56% per year over the life of the new bonds.
On November 3, 2022, the primary government issued $1.2 billion in general obligation bonds to current
refund $1.3 billion in outstanding fixed and variable-rate general obligation bonds with principal
redemptions scheduled in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 to 2033, 2038, and 2043 to 2048. As a
result, the refunded bonds are considered defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed
from the financial statements. The refunding decreased overall debt service by $137 million and resulted
in an economic gain of $93 million. The economic gain is the difference between the present value of
the old debt service requirements and the present value of the new debt service requirements, discounted
at 3.77% per year over the life of the new bonds.
166
Notes to the Financial Statements
On November 17, 2022, the primary government issued $37 million in general obligation bonds to
advance refund $37 million in outstanding fixed rate general obligation bonds with principal
redemptions scheduled in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2027, 2033, 2036, and 2044. As a result, the
refunded bonds are considered defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed from the
financial statements. The refunding decreased overall debt service by $27 million. The purpose of this
refunding was to effect a favorable reorganization of the debt structure of the State.
On April 13, 2023, the primary government issued $1.2 billion in general obligation bonds to current
refund $1.3 billion in outstanding fixed rate general obligation bonds with principal redemptions
scheduled in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 to 2028, 2030, 2032 to 2034, 2037, and 2043. As a
result, the refunded bonds are considered defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed
from the financial statements. The refunding decreased overall debt service by $282 million and resulted
in an economic gain of $198 million. The economic gain is the difference between the present value of
the old debt service requirements and the present value of the new debt service requirements, discounted
at 3.05% per year over the life of the new bonds.
2. Outstanding Balance
In the current and prior years, the primary government placed the proceeds of the refunding bonds and
other resources in a special irrevocable escrow trust account with the State Treasury to provide for all
future debt service payments on defeased bonds. The assets of the trust accounts and liability for
defeased bonds are not included in the State’s financial statements. As of June 30, 2023, there are
$37 million in outstanding defeased general obligation bonds.
NOTE 16: REVENUE BONDS
A. Governmental Activities
The California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority is authorized to
issue Clean Renewable Energy Bonds to fund the acquisition and installation of certain
transportation-related solar energy facilities located throughout the State. These bonds finance activity in
the Transportation Fund and are included in the governmental activities column of the government-wide
Statement of Net Position.
The California Health Facilities Financing Authority (CHFFA) is authorized to issue No Place Like
Home Program Senior Revenue Bonds to provide permanent supportive housing for persons
experiencing homelessness or chronic homelessness, or who are at-risk for chronic homelessness, and
who are in need of mental health services. These bonds are secured by and payable from a portion of
Proposition 63 Tax Transfers. The primary government has no legal liability for the payment of
principal and interest on these revenue bonds. Total principal and interest remaining on the bonds are
$2.4 billion, payable through 2041. Interest paid in the current year totaled $59 million. These bonds are
included in the governmental activities column of the government-wide Statement of Net Position.
The Golden State Tobacco Securitization Corporation (GSTSC), a blended component unit, as
authorized by state law, has issued asset-backed bonds to purchase 100% of the State’s rights to future
revenues from the Master Settlement Agreement with participating tobacco companies. These bonds are
secured by and payable solely from future Tobacco Settlement Revenue and interest earned on that
revenue. The primary government has no legal liability for the payment of principal and interest on the
167
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
bonds. The Legislature has annually granted a General Fund appropriation for payment of debt service
in the event tobacco settlement revenues and other available amounts prove insufficient to make these
payments during the next fiscal year. However, the use of the appropriated monies has never been
required. Total principal and interest remaining on all asset-backed bonds is $9.4 billion, payable
through 2066. All of the Tobacco Settlement Revenue and interest has been pledged in support of these
asset-backed bonds. Principal and interest paid in the current year totaled $700 million, while Tobacco
Settlement Revenue and interest earned totaled $476 million. These bonds are included in the
governmental activities column of the government-wide Statement of Net Position.
Under state law, the State Public Works Board (SPWB), an agency that accounts for its activity in the
Public Buildings Construction Fund, an internal service fund, and certain building authorities may issue
revenue bonds. These bonds are issued for the purpose of designing, acquiring, or constructing state
buildings, related improvements, and equipment. Leases with state agencies pay the principal and
interest on the revenue bonds issued by the Public Buildings Construction Fund and building authorities.
The General Fund has no legal liability for the payment of principal and interest on these revenue bonds.
Total principal and interest remaining on the bonds is $10.9 billion, payable through 2048. These
revenue bonds are included in the governmental activities column of the government-wide Statement of
Net Position.
For the specific debt service coverage ratios, refer to the Schedule of Pledged Revenue Coverage in the
Statistical Section.
B. Business-type Activities
Revenue bonds that are directly related to, and are expected to be paid from, the resources of enterprise
funds are included in the accounts of such funds. Principal and interest on revenue bonds are payable
from the pledged revenues of the respective funds of agencies that issued the bonds. The General Fund
has no legal liability for payment of principal and interest on revenue bonds. For specific debt service
coverage ratios, refer to the Schedule of Pledged Revenue Coverage in the Statistical Section.
Revenue bonds to acquire, construct, or renovate state facilities or to refund outstanding revenue bonds
in advance of maturity are issued for water resources, state university campuses, and certain nonmajor
enterprise funds.
Revenue bonds related to two enterprise funds contain provisions that define events of default related to
punctuality of the payment of the outstanding principal and interest, which could result in acceleration of
debt payments.
C. Discretely Presented Component Units
The University of California issues revenue bonds to finance various auxiliary, administrative,
academic, medical center, and research facilities. The revenue bonds are not collateralized by any
encumbrance, mortgage, or other pledge of property except pledged revenues, and do not constitute
general obligations of the University. For more information regarding revenue bonds, current year
defeasances, and outstanding defeasances of the University, refer to its separately issued financial report
for the fiscal year 2022-23, which may be found on its website at www.ucop.edu.
168
Notes to the Financial Statements
Under state law, the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) issues fixed-rate and variable-rate
revenue bonds to fund loans to qualified borrowers for single-family houses and multifamily
developments. Variable-rate debt is typically related to remarketed rates or common indices, such as the
Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) or the London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) and is reset periodically. CalHFA issues both federally taxable and tax-exempt bonds. The
bonds issued by CalHFA are payable solely from and collateralized by revenues and other pledged
assets. For more information regarding revenue bonds, current year defeasances, and outstanding
defeasances of the CalHFA, refer to its separately issued financial report for the fiscal year 2022-23,
which may be found on its website at www.CalHFA.ca.gov.

D. Revenue Bond Defeasances
1. Current Year – Governmental Activities
During the 2022-23 fiscal year, the GSTSC issued $218 million in Enhanced Tobacco Settlement
Asset-Backed refunding bonds. The bond proceeds were used to current refund $361 million in
outstanding Enhanced Tobacco Settlement Asset-Backed bonds. The net proceeds of the refunding
bonds were deposited in an escrow account to provide for all future debt service payments on the
refunded bonds. As a result, the refunded bonds are considered defeased and the liabilities for those
bonds have been removed from the financial statements. The refunding decreased debt service payments
by $316 million and resulted in an economic gain of $88 million.
During the 2022-23 fiscal year, the SPWB issued $711 million in lease revenue refunding bonds. The
bond proceeds were used to refund $868 million in outstanding lease revenue bonds. The net proceeds of
the refunding bonds, along with additional resources, were deposited in an escrow account to provide for
all future debt service payments on the refunded bonds. As a result, the refunded bonds are considered
defeased and the liabilities for those bonds have been removed from the financial statements. The
refunding decreased debt service payments by $177 million and resulted in an economic gain of
$142 million. The lease revenue bonds are reported in the Public Buildings Construction Fund, an
internal service fund.
170
Notes to the Financial Statements
2. Current Year – Business-type Activities
In September 2022, the Department of Water Resources issued $248 million in tax-exempt water system
revenue bonds to refund $149 million in outstanding water system revenue bonds. The net proceeds of
the refunding bonds, along with additional resources, were deposited in an escrow account to provide for
all future debt service payments on the refunded bonds. As a result, the refunded bonds are considered
defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed from the financial statements. The refunding
decreased debt service payments by $4 million and resulted in an economic gain of $1 million.
3. Outstanding Balances
In current and prior fiscal years, the primary government placed the proceeds of the refunding bonds and
other resources in irrevocable trust accounts to provide for all future debt service requirements.
Accordingly, the assets and liabilities for these defeased bonds are not included in the financial
statements. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding balance of defeased revenue bonds was $599 million
for business-type activities. Of this amount, the outstanding balance of bonds that were defeased using
the State’s own existing resources was $5 million. All defeased revenue bonds for governmental
activities were redeemed by June 30, 2023.
NOTE 17: RISK MANAGEMENT
The primary government has elected, with a few exceptions, to be self-insured against loss or liability.
The primary government generally does not maintain reserves. Losses are covered by appropriations
from each fund responsible for payment in the year in which the payment occurs. The State is
permissively self-insured and, barring any extraordinary catastrophic event, the potential amount of loss
faced by the State is not considered material in relation to the primary government’s financial position.
Generally, the exceptions are when a bond resolution or a contract requires the primary government to
purchase commercial insurance for coverage against property loss or liability. There have been no
significant reductions in insurance coverage from the prior year. In addition, no insurance settlement in
the last three years has exceeded insurance coverage. All claim payments are on a “pay-as-you-go”
basis, with workers’ compensation benefits for self-insured agencies initially being paid by the State
Compensation Insurance Fund.
The discounted liability for unpaid self-insurance claims of the primary government is estimated to be
$6.0 billion as of June 30, 2023. This estimate is primarily based on actuarial reviews of the State’s
workers’ compensation program and includes indemnity payments to claimants, as well as all other costs
of providing workers’ compensation benefits, such as medical care and rehabilitation. The estimate also
includes the liability for unpaid services fees, industrial disability leave benefits, and
incurred-but-not-reported amounts. The estimated total liability of approximately $8.4 billion is
discounted to $6.0 billion using a 3.5% interest rate. Of the total discounted liability, $634 million is a
current liability, of which $470 million is included in the General Fund, $160 million in the special
revenue funds, and $5 million in the internal service funds. The remaining $5.4 billion is reported as
other noncurrent liabilities in the government-wide Statement of Net Position.
The University of California, a discretely presented component unit, is self-insured or insured through a
wholly-owned captive insurance company. Additional disclosures for the University’s risk management
and self-insurance claims liability are included in its separately issued financial statements, which can be
obtained from the University on its website at www.ucop.edu.

A. Interfund Balances
Short-term interfund receivables and payables result from the time lag between the dates on which goods
and services are delivered and the dates on which payments between entities are made. In addition,
interfund borrowing, mainly from nonmajor governmental funds, is used to meet temporary imbalances
of receipts and disbursements in the General Fund.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Interfund receivables and payables are the result of interfund loans that are not expected to be repaid
within one year. In addition to the temporary interfund cash-flow borrowing shown in Table 49, annual
enacted budgets provide for long-term loans from many of the State’s special funds—mainly the
Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, nonmajor governmental funds, and Unemployment
Programs Fund—to the General Fund.
In fiscal year 2017-18, a supplemental employer contribution was made to the California Public
Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to help reduce the State’s net pension liability. The
supplemental employer contribution was funded through a cash loan from borrowable deposits in the
State’s internal investment pool—mainly from the Environmental and Natural Resources Fund and
nonmajor governmental funds. The General Fund and other funds that normally contribute to CalPERS
and benefit from the supplemental contribution will repay the loan and replenish the internal investment
pool deposits. The table below includes an outstanding balance of $2.0 billion of interfund loans. There
is an additional $68 million reported as loans receivable from entities outside of the State’s primary
government.

B. Interfund Transfers
Transfers move money collected by one fund to another fund, which then disburses it as required by law.
The General Fund and certain other funds transfer money to support various programs accounted for in
other funds. The largest transfer from the General Fund was $6.0 billion to the California State
University, an enterprise fund. The General Fund also transferred $5.5 billion to nonmajor governmental
funds, mainly for support of trial courts and mental health services. The Transportation Fund transferred
$1.4 billion in weight fee revenues to the Transportation Debt Service Fund, a nonmajor governmental
fund, for transportation-related debt service costs. The Federal Fund transferred $700 million to the
General Fund for administration of the Unemployment Insurance Program.

C. Discretely Presented Component Unit Endowments and Gifts
The University of California, a discretely presented component unit, administers certain restricted
nonexpendable, restricted expendable, and unrestricted endowments that are included in the related net
position categories of the government-wide and fund financial statements. As of June 30, 2023, the
value of restricted endowments and gifts totaled $27.6 billion, and unrestricted endowments and gifts
totaled $11.0 billion. The University’s policy is to retain realized and unrealized appreciation on
investments with the endowment after an annual income distribution. The net appreciation available to
meet future spending needs upon approval by the Board of Regents amounted to $3.6 billion at
June 30, 2023. The portion of investment returns earned on endowments and distributed each year to
support current operations is based on a rate approved by the Board of Regents. In addition, the
California State University Auxiliary Organizations and the University of California Hastings College of
the Law, nonmajor component units, have restricted nonexpendable and restricted expendable
endowments of $1.9 billion and $19 million, respectively.
NOTE 20: CONDUIT DEBT
The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA), a major component unit, issued conduit debt to
provide financial assistance for the acquisition, construction, and development of multifamily rental
housing. As of June 30, 2023, CalHFA had $5.5 billion of conduit debt obligations outstanding. CalHFA
provides a limited commitment for such debt. Neither CalHFA, nor the State assumes the liabilities for
the debt service of the debt issuances in the event of default. Revenues and other assets pledged and
assigned under applicable indentures and agreements secure the debt.
183
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Certain debt of the nonmajor component units is issued to finance activities such as the promotion of
renewable energy sources and financing for economic development projects. As of June 30, 2023, the
nonmajor component units had approximately $4.7 billion of conduit debt obligations outstanding. The
nonmajor component units provide a limited commitment for such debt. Neither the nonmajor
component units, nor the State assume the liabilities for the debt service of the debt issuances in the
event of default. Revenues and other assets pledged and assigned under applicable indentures and
agreements secure the debt.
NOTE 21: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A. Litigation
The primary government is a party to numerous legal proceedings, many of which are not unusual for
governmental operations. To the extent they existed, the following legal proceedings were accrued as a
liability in the government-wide financial statements: those decided against the primary government
before June 30, 2023; those in progress as of June 30, 2023, and settled or decided against the primary
government as of December 5, 2024; and those having a high probability of resulting in a decision
against the primary government as of December 5, 2024 and for which amounts could be estimated. In
the governmental fund financial statements, the portion of the liability that is expected to be paid within
the next 12 months is recorded as a liability in the fund from which payment will be made. In the
proprietary fund financial statements, the entire liability is recorded in the fund from which payment will
be made.
In addition, the primary government is involved in certain other legal proceedings that, if decided
against the primary government, may impair its revenue sources or require it to make significant
expenditures. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, no provision for the potential
liability has been made in the financial statements.
Following are descriptions of the more significant lawsuits pending against the primary government:
The primary government was a defendant in the following cases: Anthem Blue Cross v. David Maxwell-
Jolly, et al.; Molina Family Health Plan v. Department of Health Care Services; and Health Net of
California v. Department of Health Care Services regarding application of budget reduction factors to
managed-care capitated rates. These cases were settled on a contingent basis based on the plans’
profitability. The estimated combined total potential loss is more than $400 million based on three
separate settlement agreements that were entered into in 2013 and 2014.
The primary government is a defendant in three similar cases: Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California, et al. v. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, et al.; State Water Contractors, et al. v. Dept. of Fish and
Wildlife, et al.; San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water Dist. v. Cal. Dept. of Water Resources, et al.
The plaintiffs filed lawsuits against the primary government seeking to rescind an incidental take permit
under the California Endangered Species Act issued by Department of Fish and Wildlife to the
Department of Water Resources (DWR) concerning its operation of the State Water Project, and to
rescind DWR’s environmental review of the same under the California Environmental Quality Act. The
plaintiffs also claim that DWR breached its water supply contracts by accepting the permit. One plaintiff
asserts that the permit constitutes taking without just compensation. Five other consolidated cases are
seeking non-contract-based (writ of mandamus) relief. DWR and the Department of Fish and Wildlife
184
Notes to the Financial Statements
have prepared the administrative records relative to their administrative decisions that are being
challenged, and have augmented the administrative records. The court bifurcated the writ of mandamus
claims from the non-writ of mandamus claims, and ordered the writ of mandamus claims tried first.
Discovery is stayed until after completion of the writ of mandamus trial. No trial date has been set for
the writ of mandamus trial. The estimated range of loss is not possible to ascertain at this time. One
plaintiff has estimated damages at $100 million, and the other plaintiffs have not estimated their claimed
damages.
The primary government was a defendant in a case, Amalgamated Transit Union International, et al. v.
U.S. Department of Labor, et al. Under federal law, as a condition of receiving certain federal transit
grants, transit agencies must demonstrate to the Department of Labor’s (DOL) satisfaction that they
provide fair and equitable labor arrangements for transit workers, including arrangements that ensure the
“continuation of collective bargaining rights.” After California enacted PEPRA in 2012, DOL issued a
certification decision finding that PEPRA interfered with the continuation of transit workers’ bargaining
rights. The State successfully challenged this determination as violating the Administrative Procedure
Act, and the Eastern District of California permanently enjoined DOL from relying on PEPRA as a basis
to deny grants to two transit agencies. In 2019, DOL began certifying grants in conformity with the
district court’s orders. A transit union objected to these certifications and filed the pending case, asking
the same federal judge to reconsider the earlier ruling and reach the opposite conclusion. The State of
California intervened in the case to defend DOL’s certification decision. The parties filed and briefed
cross-motions for summary judgment, but after the change in presidential administrations in 2020, DOL
sought and obtained a voluntary remand of proceedings so it could reconsider its position. In
October 2021, DOL issued a new decision reverting to its prior view that PEPRA precludes certification
under section 13(c) of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964. The October 2021 reconsideration
again finds, in spite of the court’s prior contrary rulings, that PEPRA interferes with the collective
bargaining rights of transit workers. The reconsideration states that DOL will decline to certify any
future grant applications from local transit agencies that are subject to PEPRA. Media reports have
estimated the anticipated loss to California transit agencies of funds under the American Rescue Plan
Act to be around $2.5 billion, along with around $9.5 billion of anticipated funds under the
Infrastructure Improvement and Jobs Act. The State filed a cross-complaint against DOL challenging the
reconsidered certification decision as arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative
Procedure Act. The Attorney General represents the State of California. The State expeditiously asserted
cross-claims challenging the reconsidered determination and moved successfully to stay its
implementation and obtained summary judgment in the State’s favor. The State moved for leave to file a
cross-complaint on November 12, 2021; leave was granted on December 3, 2021, with the
cross-complaint deemed filed. The court preliminary enjoined DOL from denying or delaying
certification of transit grants on the basis of PEPRA on December 20, 2021. Cross-motions for summary
judgment were heard on February 11, 2022. On December 28, 2022, the court granted the State’s
cross-motion for summary judgment, finding that (1) DOL exceeded its authority by adopting a
categorical rule precluding certification; (2) DOL violated the Administrative Procedure Act by ignoring
evidence that PEPRA does not interfere with the collective bargaining rights of transit workers; and (3)
DOL’s interpretation and application of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 lack support in the
text and legislative history of the statute, and are arbitrary and capricious. On February 22, 2023, the
district court entered final judgment including a permanent injunction preventing DOL from relying on
PEPRA as a basis not to certify grants. The plaintiff and DOL appealed and filed opening briefs in
August 2023. The case was argued on April 10, 2024. In July 2024, the appellate court vacated the
district court’s decision and dismissed the underlying proceedings as prudently unripe on the basis that
the 2021 determination did not itself result in the denial of certification of any particular grant
185
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
application. This outcome effectively requires the parties to re-litigate their claims anew upon the denial
of certification (or approval of same) for a specific grant application. There was no settlement or
monetary judgment against the State for this case; however, there is a likelihood of follow-up litigation
where similar claims would be litigated. There is a reasonable possibility that the outcome of those
claims will be unfavorable to the State.
The primary government is a defendant in a case, Bear Mountain Development Company, LLC v. State
of California, for breach of contract regarding cancellation of a contract for delivery of Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE). The State filed a demurrer on August 13, 2021. The court heard the
demurrer on December 15, 2021, and the demurrer was granted with leave to amend. On July 27, 2022,
the court heard the State’s second demurrer to the Second Amended Complaint, and the demurrer was
overruled. The court ordered the plaintiff to file a third amended complaint by August 8, 2022. The State
filed an answer to the Third Amended Complaint and filed a cross-complaint alleging fraud and
misrepresentation. Plaintiff demurred to the State’s cross-complaint. On March 9, 2023, the court
overruled the demurrer to the fraud cause of action. The court sustained the demurrer to the negligent
misrepresentation cause of action with leave to amend. The court granted the State’s motion for
summary judgment on March 1, 2024, dismissing Bear Mountain’s breach of contract action. The State
is pursuing cross claims against defendants and third parties. Plaintiff is seeking damages of
$799 million for the State’s cancellation of a contract for delivery of PPE.
B. Federal Audit Exceptions
The primary government receives substantial funding from the federal government in the form of grants
and other federal assistance. The primary government, the University of California, California Housing
Finance Agency (CalHFA), and certain nonmajor discretely presented component units are entitled to
these resources only if they comply with the terms and conditions of the grants and contracts and with
the applicable federal laws and regulations; they may spend these resources only for eligible purposes. If
audits disclose exceptions, the primary government, the University, CalHFA, and certain nonmajor
discretely presented component units may incur a liability to the federal government.
NOTE 22: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The following information describes significant events that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2023, but
prior to the date of the auditor’s report.
A. Debt Issuances
In July 2023 and August 2024, the California State University (CSU) issued $1.6 billion in revenue
bonds to finance and refinance projects to acquire, construct, improve, and renovate certain CSU
facilities, to refund certain outstanding system-wide revenue bonds, and to pay related issuance costs.
In August 2023, and January, March, and July 2024, the University of California, a major component
unit, through its conduit, issued a total of $4.9 billion in revenue bonds to finance or refinance certain
capital projects of the University, refund certain prior bonds, purchase obligations of the United States
and certain federal agencies and pay related issuance costs.
In September, October, and November 2023, and March, April, August, and October 2024, the primary
government issued a total of $12.5 billion in General Obligation bonds to fund various capital projects
186
Notes to the Financial Statements
related to K-12 schools and higher education facilities, transportation improvements and high-speed rail,
water quality and environmental protection, and other public purposes, to pay certain commercial paper
notes as they mature, to pay related issuance costs, and to refund outstanding bonds for debt
service savings.
In September and October 2023, and April, September, and October 2024, the State Public Works Board
issued a total of $3.0 billion in lease revenue bonds to finance and refinance the design and/or
construction of various projects, refund and defease previously issued lease revenue bonds, reimburse
interim loans from the General Fund, fund capitalized interest on bonds, and pay related issuance costs.
In February 2024, the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank, a component unit,
issued a total of $273 million in revenue bonds to finance Clean Water State Revolving Fund project
obligations, and pay related costs of issuance.
In July 2024, the California Earthquake Authority issued $250 million in revenue bonds to enhance its
claim-paying capacity.
In October 2024, the primary government issued a total of $230 million in Veterans general obligation
and revenue bonds to finance the acquisition of residential property for California military veterans,
reimburse the department for contracts funded by the 1943 fund, and funding deferred payment assistant
loans for the closing costs of the residential property.
B. Other
In recent years California has faced historically lengthy and severe wildfire seasons, with millions of
acres burned annually. The 2023 fire season was less catastrophic by comparison, with just under
7,400 fires and 333,000 acres burned. The 2024 fire season saw approximately 7,900 fires and
1,049,000 acres burned. The 2024-25 Budget Act maintains $2.6 billion in investments over seven years
for the restoration of forest and wildland health, in an effort to reduce the risk of wildfires.
California continues to experience large swings between drought and flood conditions; these swings are
becoming more severe due to climate change. The 2024-25 Budget Act maintains a total of $6.7 billion
of investments committed in the 2021 and 2022 Budget Acts over multiple years to improve the State’s
capacity to endure droughts and floods.
In response to the state of emergency caused by a series of atmospheric river storms during
December 2022 and continuing into January 2023, the federal government extended the 2022 tax
payment and filing deadlines for Californians residing in impacted areas from April 15, 2023, to
November 16, 2023. The California Franchise Tax Board followed suit by extending the State’s tax
filing deadlines to the same dates. The extension will impact revenues available to the State during the
2023-24 fiscal year.
The United States federal government has provided California with over $43.0 billion in combined
recovery funds through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, to cover costs incurred by the State
between March 3, 2021, and December 31, 2024, to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Of the $43.0 billion, $27.0 billion has been allocated to the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund
(SFRF) to help California build back a stronger, more equitable economy and address the
disproportionate negative economic impacts of the pandemic to low-wage earners. Funds from the
187
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
SFRF have been used to address public health impacts, address negative economic impacts, invest in
broadband infrastructure projects, and replace lost state revenue.
To meet the surge in demand for unemployment insurance benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic,
California borrowed larger than normal amounts from the U.S. Department of Labor. As of
June 30, 2023, the State had $17.7 billion in such loans, which were used to cover the deficits in the
Unemployment Programs Fund and continue to provide benefit payments to displaced California
workers. Loans outstanding from the U.S. Department of Labor increased by $2.9 billion after the fiscal
year to a balance of approximately $20.5 billion as of November 15, 2024.
In August 2024, the State’s contracted actuary published the State of California Retiree Health Benefits
Program GASB Nos. 74 and 75 Actuarial Valuation Report as of June 30, 2023, which will be used to
measure the State’s net Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability as of June 30, 2024. Based on
the Actuarial Valuation Report, the State will report a net OPEB liability as of June 30, 2024, of
$85.2 billion, an increase of $2.8 billion from the net OPEB liability reported as of June 30, 2023. The
report is available on the State Controller’s Office website, at www.sco.ca.gov.
In the November 5, 2024, general election, California voters approved the following propositions:
• Proposition 2 authorizes the State to issue up to $10.0 billion in bonds for repair, upgrade, and
construction of K-12 public schools (including charter schools). The bonds will result in
estimated increased state education costs of up to $500 million annually.
• Proposition 4 authorizes the State to issue up to $10.0 billion in bonds for various projects to
reduce climate risks and impacts. The projects include increasing water resilience and available
safe drinking water supplies; wildfire prevention and extreme heat mitigation; the protection of
natural lands, parks, and wildlife; the protection of coastal lands, bays and oceans; clean energy
infrastructure; and agriculture. The bonds will result in estimated increased costs of up to
$400 million annually.
• Proposition 35 makes permanent the existing Managed Care Organization Provider Tax (“health
plan tax”), which was set to expire in 2026. This tax provides revenues to fund health care
services including primary and specialty care, emergency care, family planning, mental health,
and prescription drugs under Medi-Cal program. The proposition implements new rules that
direct how the State must spend these tax revenues on Medi-Cal expenditures, which will result
in estimated increased General Fund costs between $1.0 billion and $2.0 billion annually.
In December 2023, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) released Unemployment Insurance Program
Letter 05-24 which provided guidance to states to apply their finality laws to Coronavirus Aid, Relief,
and Economic Security (CARES) Act Unemployment Compensation (UC) claims. In February 2024,
the Employment Development Department (EDD) responded to this letter in reference to federal
compliance monitoring findings by requesting DOL’s approval of its assertion that the California
Unemployment Insurance Code’s finality laws apply to the State’s UC claims from federal pandemic
programs, which are reported within $46.3 billion of other liabilities in the Federal Fund as of
June 30, 2023. In May 2024, DOL accepted EDD’s assertion regarding the application of finality laws to
its pandemic program UC claims. Due to the application of the guidance in Unemployment Insurance
Program Letter 05-24, EDD should be able to recognize this event in the 2023-24 financial statements as
a forgiveness of debt.

Salary increases Varies by entry age and service
Investment rate of return 6.00%, net of OPEB plan investment expenses but without reduction for OPEB
administrative expenses.
Retirement age The probabilities of retirement are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study for the
period from 2000 to 2019.
Mortality Mortality rates are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study adopted by the
CalPERS Board. Post-retirement mortality rates include 15 years of projected ongoing
mortality improvements using 80% of scale MP-2020 published by the Society of
Actuaries.

Required Supplementary Information
Infrastructure Assets Using the Modified Approach
Pursuant to Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, the State uses the
modified approach to report the cost of its infrastructure assets (state bridges, roadways, and high-speed
rail). Under the modified approach, the State does not report depreciation expense for infrastructure
assets but capitalizes all costs that add to the capacity and efficiency of state-owned bridges, roads, and
the high-speed rail system. All maintenance and preservation costs are expensed and not capitalized.
A. Infrastructure Asset Reporting Categories
The infrastructure assets reported in the State’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2023, are in the following categories and amounts: state highway infrastructure, consisting of
completed highway projects totaling $83.0 billion; land purchased for highway projects totaling
$15.3 billion; infrastructure construction-in-progress (uncompleted highway projects) totaling
$10.0 billion; and high-speed rail system infrastructure, consisting of construction-in-progress
(uncompleted rail construction projects) totaling $6.5 billion.
Donation and Relinquishment: Donation and relinquishment activity affects the inventory of statewide
lane miles, land, and/or bridges as adjustments to the infrastructure assets and/or land balance in the
State’s financial statements. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, there were no donations of
infrastructure land, and relinquishments were $9 million of state highway infrastructure (completed
highway projects) and $2 million of infrastructure land.
B. Condition Baselines and Assessments
1. Bridges
The federal Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act required all states to adopt national
asset management performance measures to establish nationwide consistency for condition reporting of
highway assets. Under the FAST Act, the national performance measure for bridges is total deck area of
the structures in good, fair, or poor condition. The inspection data is based on the American Association
of State Highway Transportation Officials’ Guide Manual for Bridge Element Inspection, the Caltrans
Bridge Element Inspection Manual, National Tunnel Inspection Standards, Specifications for the
National Tunnel Inventory, and the Tunnel Operations Maintenance Inspection and Evaluation Manual.
The State’s established condition baseline for fiscal year 2022-23 is to have at least 90% of the State’s
bridge deck area in fair or better condition.
233
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
The following table shows the State’s established condition baseline and actual statewide bridge
condition for the last three fiscal years:
Fiscal Year
Ended June 30 Established Condition1 Actual Condition
2021 90.0% Fair or Better 95.7% Fair or Better
2022 90.0% Fair or Better 94.1% Fair or Better
2023 90.0% Fair or Better 93.7% Fair or Better
1 The actual statewide bridge conditions should not be lower than the baseline condition established by the State.
The following table provides details on the State’s actual bridge condition as of June 30, 2023:
Number of
Condition Bridges/Tunnels Deck Area (sq. ft.) Deck Area (%)
Good 6,401 116,723,528 45.36 %
Fair 5,643 124,507,704 48.38
Poor 560 16,116,249 6.26
Total 12,604 257,347,481 100.00 %
2. Roadways
The State conducts a periodic pavement-condition survey, which evaluates ride quality and structural
integrity and identifies the number of distressed lane miles. The State classifies a roadway’s pavement
condition by the following descriptions:
• Excellent/good condition – few potholes or cracks
• Fair condition – moderate number of potholes or cracks
• Poor condition – significant or extensive number of potholes or cracks
Statewide lane miles are considered “distressed lane miles” if they are in poor condition. The actual
distressed lane miles are compared to the established condition baseline to ensure that the baseline is not
exceeded.
234
Required Supplementary Information
The following table shows the State’s established condition baseline and actual distressed lane miles
from the last three completed pavement-condition surveys:
Condition Established Condition Actual Actual Distressed
Assessment Baseline Distressed Distressed Lane Miles as Percent
Date1 Lane Miles (maximum)2 Lane Miles of Total Lane Miles
April 2022 18,000 6,872 13.6 %
July 2023 18,000 6,980 13.8
September 2024 18,000 7,453 14.7
1 Condition assessment for the State’s established condition baseline and actual distressed lane miles is being reported as of the State of
the Pavement report publication date.
2 The actual statewide distressed lane miles should not exceed the maximum distressed lane miles established by the State.
The following table provides details on the State’s actual distressed lane miles as of the last completed
pavement-condition survey:
Pavement Condition Lane Miles Distressed Lane Miles
Excellent/Good 32,788 —
Fair 10,365 —
Poor 7,453 7,453
Total 50,606 7,453
C. Budgeted and Actual Preservation Costs
The estimated budgeted preservation costs represent the preservation projects approved by the California
Transportation Commission and the State’s scheduled preservation work for each fiscal year. The actual
preservation costs represent the cumulative cost to date for the projects approved and work scheduled in
each fiscal year.

Notes to the Required Supplementary Information
Budgetary Comparison Schedule
The State annually reports its financial condition based on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) basis and on the State’s budgetary provisions (budgetary basis). The Budgetary Comparison
Schedule for the General Fund and Major Special Revenue Funds reports the original budget, the final
budget, the actual expenditures, and the variance between the final budget and the actual expenditures,
using the budgetary basis of accounting.
On the budgetary basis, individual appropriations are charged as expenditures when commitments for
goods and services are incurred. However, for financial reporting purposes, the State reports
expenditures based on the year in which goods and services are received. The Budgetary Comparison
Schedule includes all of the current year expenditures for the General Fund and major special revenue
funds as well as related appropriations that typically are legislatively authorized annually, continually, or
by project. While the encumbrances relate to all programs’ expenditures on a budgetary basis,
adjustments for encumbrances are made under “other general government,” except for Environmental
and Natural Resources where adjustments for encumbrances are made under each program’s
expenditures.
The Budgetary Comparison Schedule is not presented in this document at the legal level of budgetary
control because such a presentation would be extremely lengthy and cumbersome. The State of
California prepares a separate report, the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report Supplement, which
includes statements that demonstrate compliance with the legal level of budgetary control in accordance
242
Required Supplementary Information
with Government Accounting Standards Board’s (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting
and Financial Reporting Standards, Section 2400.121. The supplement includes a comparison of the
annual appropriated budget with expenditures at the legal level of control. A copy of the Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report Supplement is available upon email request to the State Controller’s
Office, State Accounting and Reporting Division at StateGovReports@sco.ca.gov.
Reconciliation of Budgetary with GAAP Basis
The reconciliation of budgetary basis fund balances of the General Fund and the major special revenue
funds to GAAP basis fund balances is presented on the previous page and the reconciling items are
explained in the following paragraphs.

Interfund Receivables and Loans Receivable: Loans made to other funds or to other governments are
normally recorded as either expenditures or transfers on a budgetary basis. However, in accordance with
GAAP, these loans are recorded as assets. The adjustments related to interfund receivables caused
increases of $3.8 billion in the General Fund, $93 million in the Transportation Fund, and $222 million
in the Environmental and Natural Resources Fund. The adjustments related to loans receivable caused
increases of $45 million in the General Fund, $384 million in the Federal Fund, and $728 million in the
Environmental and Natural Resources Fund.
Interfund Payables: Loans received from other funds are normally recorded as transfers on a budgetary
basis. However, in accordance with GAAP, these loans are recorded as liabilities. The adjustments
related to interfund payables caused decreases of $2.8 billion in the General Fund, $481 million in the
Transportation Fund, $585 million in the Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, and $1 million in
the Health Care Related Programs Fund.
Escheat Property: A liability for the estimated amount of escheat property expected to ultimately be
reclaimed and paid is not reported on a budgetary basis. The liability is required to be reported on a
GAAP basis. This adjustment caused a $1.4 billion decrease in the General Fund.
Tax Revenues: Estimated tax payments are accrued on a budgetary basis pursuant to Chapter 751,
Statutes of 2008; however, in accordance with GAAP, tax payments are accrued based on the portion of
estimated net final payments related to the fiscal year. This adjustment caused a decrease of $1.1 billion
in the General Fund.
Fund Classification Changes: The fund balance amounts for governmental funds have been reclassified
in accordance with governmental accounting standards. These reclassifications caused increases of
$44.4 billion in the General Fund and $3.6 billion in the Federal Fund. These increases represent the
fund balances of funds that are not considered part of the General Fund or the Federal Fund for any
budgetary purpose or for the Budgetary/Legal Basis Annual Report.
Other: Certain other adjustments and reclassifications are necessary to present the financial statements in
accordance with GAAP. The other adjustments caused a decrease of $7.0 billion in the General Fund, a
decrease of $38.1 billion in the Federal Fund, an increase of $2.1 billion in the Transportation Fund, a
decrease of $177 million in the Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, and a decrease of
$13 million in the Health Care Related Programs Fund.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Timing Difference
Liabilities Budgeted in Subsequent Years: On a budgetary basis, the primary government does not accrue
liabilities for which there is no existing appropriation or no currently available appropriation. The
adjustments made to account for these liabilities in accordance with GAAP caused decreases of
$4.1 billion in the General Fund, $11.1 billion in the Federal Fund, $417 million in the Transportation
Fund, $4 million in the Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, and $1.2 billion in the Health Care
Related Programs Fund. The large decrease in the General Fund primarily consists of $4.8 billion for
medical assistance and $470 million for workers’ compensation claims. The large decrease in the
Federal Fund consists of $8.0 billion for unemployment programs, and $3.4 billion for coronavirus
relief. The decrease in the Health Care Related Programs Fund primarily consists of medical assistance.

1On a budgetary basis, the State’s funds are classified as either governmental cost funds or nongovernmental cost funds. The
governmental cost funds include the General Fund, most of the funds that comprise the Transportation Fund and the
Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, Health Care Related Programs Fund, and many other funds that make up the
nonmajor governmental funds reported in these financial statements. Governmental cost funds derive their revenue from
taxes, licenses, and fees that support the general operations of the State. The appropriations of the budgetary basis
governmental cost funds form the annual appropriated budget of the State. Nongovernmental cost funds consist of funds
that derive their receipts from sources other than general and special taxes, licenses, fees, or state revenues and mainly
represent the proprietary and fiduciary funds reported in these financial statements. Expenditures of these funds do not
represent a cost of government and most of the nongovernmental cost funds are not included in the annual appropriated
budget. Therefore, the expenditures of these funds are not included in this schedule. The Federal Fund is one
nongovernmental cost fund that is included in the annual appropriated budget. The Budgetary Comparison Schedule for the
General Fund, Federal Fund, Transportation Fund, Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, and Health Care Related
Programs Fund is included in the Required Supplementary Information section; the remaining governmental cost funds are
reflected in this schedule. Additional information on the budgetary basis of accounting can be found in the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis, Note 2 – Budgetary and Legal Compliance, notes to the Required Supplementary Information,
and in the separately issued Annual Comprehensive Financial Report Supplement.

Nonmajor Enterprise Funds
Enterprise funds account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to
private business enterprises, in which the costs of providing goods or services to the general
public on a continuing basis are intended to be financed or recovered primarily through user
charges. Following are brief descriptions of nonmajor enterprise funds.
The State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund accounts for loans to finance the
construction of publicly owned water pollution control facilities.
The Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund accounts for loans to finance the
construction of publicly owned water systems for drinking water infrastructure projects.
The Housing Loan Fund accounts for financing and contracts for the sale of properties to
eligible California veterans.
The Electric Power Fund accounts for assistance in mitigating the effects of a statewide
energy supply emergency.
Other enterprise program funds account for all other goods or services provided to the
general public on a continuing basis when all or most of the cost involved is to be financed
by user charges, or when periodic measurement of the results of operations is appropriate for
management control, accountability, capital maintenance, public policy, or other purposes.

Fiduciary Funds and Similar
Component Units – Pension and Other
Employee Benefit Trust Funds
Pension and other employee benefit trust funds account for transactions, assets, liabilities, and
net position available for pension and other employee benefits of the two public employees’
retirement systems that are fiduciary component units, and for other primary government
employee benefit programs. Following are brief descriptions of pension and other employee
benefit trust funds.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans are pension plans that provide defined benefit pensions to
employees after separation from service:
The Public Employees’ Retirement Fund is administered by the California Public
Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and accounts for the employee and employer
contributions of the agent and cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement plans that provide
pension benefits to employees of the State of California, non-teaching school employees, and
employees of California public agencies.
The State Teachers’ Retirement Fund is administered by the California State Teachers’
Retirement System (CalSTRS) and accounts for the employee, employer, and primary
government contributions of the cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement plan that
provides pension benefits to teachers and certain other employees of the California public
school system.
The Judges’ Retirement Fund is administered by CalPERS and accounts for the employee
and employer contributions of the single-employer retirement plan that provides pension
benefits to judges of the California Supreme Court, courts of appeal, and superior courts who
were appointed or elected prior to November 9, 1994.
The Judges’ Retirement Fund II is administered by CalPERS and accounts for the
employee and employer contributions of the single-employer retirement plan that provides
pension benefits to judges of the California Supreme Court, courts of appeal, and superior
courts who were appointed or elected on or subsequent to November 9, 1994.
The Legislators’ Retirement Fund is administered by CalPERS and accounts for the
employee and employer contributions of the single-employer retirement plan that provides
pension benefits to members of the Legislature serving prior to November 7, 1990,
constitutional officers, and legislative statutory officers who elect to participate in the plan.
(continued)
283
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
(continued)
The Defined Benefit Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) Plan provides defined benefit
OPEB, other than pensions, to employees after separation from service:
The Annuitants’ Health Care Coverage Fund is administered by CalPERS as the
California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust Fund (CERBTF), an agent multiple-employer
plan for employers to prefund health, dental, and other nonpension postemployment benefits
for state and local government annuitants, and to pay related administrative costs.
The Deferred Compensation Fund accounts for monies withheld from the salaries of participants
per Internal Revenue Code sections 401(k), 457, and 403(b). The monies are invested until the
employee retires or resigns, at which time all money withdrawn, including investment income, is
subject to income taxes.
Other pension and other employee benefit trust funds account for funds contributed to smaller
retirement plans and programs that are not defined benefit pension plans including the Teachers’
Health Benefits Fund, Supplemental Contributions Program Fund, Boxers’ Pension Fund, and
Flexelect Benefit Fund.

Nonmajor Component Units
Nonmajor component units are legally separate entities that are discretely presented in the
State’s financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP). The inclusion of component units in the State’s financial statements reflects the State’s
financial accountability for or relationships with these organizations such that exclusion would
cause the State’s financial statements to be misleading. Following are brief descriptions of the

improvements, and coastal and inland urban waterfront restoration projects. These agencies
include the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority,
the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank, and the California Urban
Waterfront Area Restoration Financing Authority.
California State University Auxiliary Organizations provide services primarily to
university students through foundations, associated student organizations, student unions,
food service entities, book stores, and similar organizations.
District agricultural associations were created to exhibit all of the industries, industrial
enterprises, resources, and products of the State. The financial information presented is as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

1 Governmental activities’ unrestricted net position reflects a negative balance because of outstanding bonded debt issued to build capital assets for school
districts and other local governmental entities and unfunded employee-related obligations—net pension liability, net other postemployment benefits
(OPEB) liability and compensated absences.
2 In fiscal year 2014, the net position of governmental activities and business-type activities changed primarily as a result of the reclassification of the
$380 million beginning net position of the Public Buildings Construction Fund from an enterprise fund to an internal service fund.
3 In fiscal year 2015, the net position of governmental activities and business-type activities significantly decreased as a result of implementing
GASB Statements No. 68 and No. 71 requiring the recognition of net pension liability and related pension expense and deferred outflows and inflows of
resources.
4 In fiscal year 2018, the net position of governmental activities and business-type activities significantly decreased as a result of implementing GASB
Statement No. 75 requiring the recognition of net OPEB liability and related OPEB expense and deferred outflows and inflows of resources.

Note: The number of full-time equivalent employees is calculated by counting each person who works full time as one full-time equivalent and those who
work part time as fractional equivalents based on time worked.
1 Effective July 1, 2013, under the Governor’s 2012 Reorganization Plan No. 2, a significant reorganization took place that impacted previously reported
functions. The Government Operations Agency, including but not limited to Franchise Tax Board, Department of General Services, and the Public
Employees’ Retirement System, was created and added to the General Government function. Also, the business and housing components under the
previously reported Business, Transportation, and Housing function merged with the State and Consumer Services function and the remaining
transportation components now comprise the Transportation Agency. Information reported under the new functions are not comparable to that of prior
years.
