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, 2024. This report contains useful information designed and presented to assist
readers in understanding California’s primary government and discretely presented component unit
revenue, totaling $549.5 billion, expenses totaling $537.6 billion, and fiduciary fund assets of over
$1.09 trillion. It 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.
As fiscal stewards with the responsibility to ensure the accurate accounting of California’s finances, my
office has worked diligently over the past three years to restore ACFR publication to its target date in
March, which was last achieved in 2018. The production of California’s ACFR is a sizable undertaking
that involves highly specialized and detailed accounting of over 1,000 total funds used throughout more
than 200 state departments for critical budget programs, as well as more than three dozen component
financial statements and independent audits that feed into this publication. Upon becoming State
Controller in 2023, I challenged my office to engage and collaborate with all state entities involved in
this enormous operation to restore the ACFR publication timeline. With this statewide “Team
California” collaboration, including the Governor and his administration, and the Legislature, the
ultimate goal of restoring the ACFR publication timeline is not only realistic, but it is attainable.
The State Controller’s Office’s (SCO) ability to produce this report is dependent upon several factors,
including a partnership with the California Department of Finance and the State’s numerous agencies,
departments, boards, and commissions, as well as the ability of the State to meet the requirements of an
audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, administered by the California
State Auditor’s Office. While there is no statutory deadline for publishing the ACFR, its completion
satisfies several compliance requirements for the State, and the delivery of this ACFR positions
California to return to the timely publication of the fiscal year 2024-25 ACFR.

California’s economic climate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, included various high and low
points. At the onset of the fiscal year, California projected a budget deficit exacerbated by slow revenue
growth. Ultimately, due to the Governor’s and Legislature’s actions to reduce spending levels, the deficit
was eased by the taxes paid by the highest income earners. California also experienced higher jobless
rates compared to those in other states and global instability – all while poised to become the world’s
fourth-largest economy in 2024. As noted in the ACFR, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024,
California’s revenues exceeded expenses by $5.0 billion for the primary government. The General Fund
ended the fiscal year in a strong financial position with total revenues of $195.3 billion—an increase of
1.5% over the prior fiscal year—and a cash balance of $67.9 billion at June 30, 2024. Given California’s
outsized stature as a global-leading economy, it remains critical for the State to engage in timely and
transparent financial reporting reflective of our strong and sustainable systems of fiscal management in
light of ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.
Team California’s ongoing, multiyear effort has developed a governance structure and operating model,
standardized reporting tasks, harnessed technology for greater efficiencies, and provided substantive
engagement, technical assistance, and training to departments and agencies on financial reporting. I offer
my continued thanks and appreciation to our Team California partners for recognizing that the
transparent accounting of the State’s finances upholds California’s fiscal integrity, and more importantly
for taking the appropriate action to make financial reporting a priority.
I also want to recognize my office’s State Accounting and Reporting Division. In producing this
complex financial report and meeting our publication goals, these SCO team members continue to
uphold our T.R.U.S.T.E.D. values by delivering excellence and fulfilling our purpose to move California
forward so that everyone thrives.
Sincerely,

Introductory Section
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, 2024, 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, Federal Fund, Environmental and
Natural Resources Fund, Water Resources Fund, State Lottery Fund, California State University
Fund, aggregate remaining fund information, governmental 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 disclaimer of opinion, has been issued for the Statement of
Net Position; Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position; and
Statement of Cash Flows of the Unemployment Programs Fund.
• A modified opinion, consisting of a qualified opinion, has been issued for business-type 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 is also 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, 2024, and its economic
performance as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, 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
2024, is estimated to be approximately 40 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
v
State, State Treasurer, State Controller, Insurance Commissioner, and the State Superintendent of Public
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; transitional kindergarten through 12th grade (TK-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 the related organizations 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 3, 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 14.0% of the U.S. Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) in 2024 and grew to rank fourth 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 $4.1 trillion at fiscal year-end
and, as the nation’s leader in agricultural production, the state’s farming operations generated
approximately $59.4 billion in cash receipts for the 2023 crop year. In 2024, California exported
$183.3 billion in products; its three largest export markets are Mexico ($33.5 billion), Canada
($18.4 billion), and China ($15.1 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
vi
collections of natural, cultural, and recreational resources in the nation. In 2024, California’s travel and
tourism industry generated revenues of $157.3 billion, a 3.0% increase over the previous year, and
travel-generated state and local tax revenues of $12.6 billion, a 3.1% increase over the previous year.
Budget Outlook
Fiscal Year 2024-25
The State’s enacted fiscal year 2024-25 Budget took steps to set California on a fiscally responsible
long-term path, after the State experienced troublesome delays in General Fund cash receipts during
fiscal year 2023-24. The 2023-24 delays were caused by an emergency postponement of tax filing and
payment deadlines by the Franchise Tax Board in response to statewide flooding in early 2023, which
affected 99% of California taxpayers. The enacted Budget projected General Fund revenues of
$212.1 billion after a $4.9 billion transfer from the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA), California’s
“rainy day” fund. The 2024-25 Budget authorized the withdrawal of $12.2 billion in funds from the BSA
over two years to address structural budget issues and allow for greater budget resiliency.
Fiscal Year 2025-26
California enacted the 2025-26 Budget Act on June 27, 2025, during a time of economic uncertainty
resulting from federal policy changes imposed by the new administration, including sweeping tariffs and
presumed significant funding cuts to states. In addition, significant growth in Medi-Cal and other core
state programs resulted in a General Fund shortfall of $11.8 billion. The Budget aims to close this gap
by leveraging reserves and reducing expenditure growth of critical state programs while maintaining
funding for multiple initiatives that continue to improve the lives of Californians. By the end of the
fiscal year 2025-26, the Budget estimates a decrease in total reserves by $6.5 billion, to $15.7 billion,
consisting of $11.2 billion in the BSA and $4.5 billion in the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties.
The 2025-26 Budget projects General Fund revenue of $215.7 billion ($250.9 billion after transfers) and
expenditures of $228.4 billion. The Budget anticipates increased revenues from sales and use taxes, and
decreased revenues from personal income taxes and corporation taxes. The Budget estimates that
personal income taxes will contribute to the majority of General Fund revenue, at 60.4%
($126.0 billion); corporation taxes are estimated to contribute 17.1% ($35.6 billion); and sales and use
taxes are estimated to contribute 16.7% ($34.9 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 has maintained a steady growth pattern in spite of the uncertainty
surrounding the impact of federal policy changes from the new administration. The 2025-26
Budget reflects an overall decrease in expected General Fund revenues of 6.0% from the prior
year. The State’s “Big Three” General Fund revenue sources—personal income taxes, sales
taxes, and corporation taxes—are projected to decrease by 2.6% from the prior year. The Budget
anticipates that fiscal year 2025-26 personal income tax revenues will decrease from
$126.3 billion in the previous fiscal year to $126.0 billion, sales and use tax revenues will
increase from $33.7 billion to $34.9 billion, and corporation tax revenues will decrease from
$41.7 billion to $35.6 billion.
• The Consumer Price Index increased 2.7% during the year ended June 30, 2025. The food index
increased 3.0%, and the shelter index increased 3.8%. The energy index decreased by 0.8%.
These indices have normalized in comparison to the high inflation in the aftermath of
the pandemic.
vii
• Between March 17, 2022, and July 27, 2024, the Federal Reserve Board increased interest rates
by 525 basis points. Since July 27, 2024, the Federal Reserve Board has decreased interest rates
by 100 basis points, with the last decrease on December 19, 2024. In addition to economic
impacts, the net increase in interest rates of 425 basis points will continue to impact the State’s
future cost of borrowing.
• The 2025-26 Budget Act reflects the State’s commitment to addressing the unfunded pension
liabilities over the long term. The Budget includes $584 million in one-time 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 $2.1 billion is projected to
be paid to CalPERS over the next two fiscal years to fund the State’s pension liabilities.
• The State’s employee bargaining units and excluded and exempt employees prefund retiree
health benefits. To pay future retiree health benefits, the State has accumulated more than
$9.0 billion in a prefunding trust as of June 30, 2024, and $11.6 billion as of June 30, 2025. Due
to budget shortfalls, the State has temporarily suspended prefunding contributions to the trust for
fiscal year 2025-26 for most employee collective bargaining units; however, the State remains
committed to fully fund the trust in the long term.
• The 2024 fire season saw a substantial increase in the number and magnitude of wildfires in the
state, with approximately one million acres burned. The 2025 fire season total acreage burned
was lower, with approximately 517,341 acres burned. The 2025-26 Budget Act includes a
$10.0 billion Climate Bond (Proposition 4) which includes $1.5 billion reserved to reduce the
risk of severe and destructive wildfires. The Budget Act also includes adjustments of $3.3 billion
from the General Fund to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund over four years to support the
State’s fire protection activities.
• California continues to face serious climate challenges, including heat waves, droughts, floods,
and wildfires, which have caused widespread damage and displacement. In response, the State
is investing heavily in climate initiatives. The 2025-26 Budget Act includes a $10.0 billion
Climate Bond (Proposition 4), to reduce pollution, support clean energy, and achieve the State’s
climate goals.

Disclaimer of Opinion on the Unemployment Programs Fund
We do not express an opinion on the financial statements of the Unemployment Programs
Fund. Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
on the Unemployment Programs Fund section of our report, we have not been able to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on the financial
statements of the Unemployment Programs Fund.
Qualified Opinion on Business-Type Activities
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, except for the effects of the
matter described in the Basis for Qualified and Unmodified Opinions section of our report, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Business-Type Activities of the State of California, as of June 30, 2024, and the
changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Unmodified Opinions on Each of the Other Opinion Units
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental
activities, aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund except for the
Unemployment Programs Fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the State of
California, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable,
cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
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 86 percent of the assets and deferred
outflows, and 58 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 95 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 Buildings 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 86 percent of the assets and deferred outflows, and 48 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 Disclaimer of Opinion on the Unemployment Programs Fund
The Employment Development Department had inadequate internal control over its financial
reporting for unemployment benefits. As a result, the department was unable to provide complete and
accurate accounting information supporting the financial activity of the State’s unemployment
program. The condition of the department’s records did not permit us, nor was it practicable to extend
other auditing procedures, to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to conclude that Cash and Pooled
Investments, Amount on Deposit with U.S. Treasury, Due to Other Governments,
Unemployment and Disability Insurance, and Distributions to Beneficiaries, within the
Unemployment Programs Fund are free of material misstatement. In addition, the lack of
sufficient appropriate evidence precluded us from determining whether the omission of a material
amount of $768 million should be reported as Non-Operating Revenues or as a Special Item. As a
result of this matter, we were unable to determine whether further audit adjustments to these
accounts were necessary. The issues described above also caused material misstatements of
$768 million in Distributions to Beneficiaries and $580 million in Due to Other Governments.
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 Buildings Construction fund,
the State Lottery fund, and the Campus Foundations of the University of California, which
represent 14 percent of the university’s total assets and deferred outflows, and 2 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 Opinion on Business-Type Activities
The issues we discuss in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion on the Unemployment Programs
Fund section of our report also affect the Business-Type Activities. Therefore, we were
unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about the Unemployment Programs Fund
balances that represent 37 percent of Cash and Pooled Investments, 98 percent of Due
to Other Governments, 100 percent of Unemployment Programs Expenses, and 100 percent
of Unemployment Programs Revenues, within Business-Type Activities.
Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2024, the State of California restated
the beginning fund balance of the Federal Fund and beginning net position of Governmental
Activities to correct prior year errors, primarily related to the unemployment program. Our
opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
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 have also issued our report dated
September 5, 2025, 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, 2024. 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
Despite softness in the state’s labor market and inflation driving consumer spending into decline,
California bounded into a year of overall revenue growth for the primary government in fiscal year
2023-24. General revenues, comprised primarily of taxes, increased by $10.9 billion (4.8%), compared
to a decrease of $6.9 billion (2.9%) recorded for fiscal year 2022-23. This revenue increase was
attributable in part to an increase in state tax collections from high income earning Californians, who
saw an increase in bonuses and stock-based compensation driven by an active stock market inspired by
advances in artificial intelligence. The State’s managed care organization (MCO) enrollment tax,
intended to generate funding to offset Medi-Cal programs, increased by $7.0 billion, which also
contributed largely to the increase in general revenues. As of June 30, 2024, the Budget Stabilization
Account, California’s “Rainy Day Fund,” held reserves of $22.6 billion, and accounted for a significant
portion of the State’s $37.8 billion in total budgetary reserves. Expenses and transfers for the State’s
governmental activities increased by $31.0 billion (7.6%), and were less than total revenues received,
resulting in a $7.1 billion increase in the governmental activities’ net position, as restated. Total
expenses for the State’s business-type activities exceeded total revenues and transfers, resulting in a
$2.1 billion decrease in the business-type activities’ net position, as restated, for fiscal year 2023-24.
For fiscal year 2023-24, the State implemented GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections – An Amendment of GASB Statement No. 62, which is intended to enhance accounting
and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes and error corrections to provide more
understandable, consistent, and relevant information for decision-making and assessing accountability.
As a result of the implementation, the primary government’s beginning net position increased by
$47.5 billion due to the correction of errors that affected loan receivables, capital assets, deferred
receivables, pollution remediation obligations, and other liabilities. The largest component of the error
corrections was a restatement related to the State’s unemployment programs, which increased the
beginning net position of governmental activities by $46.2 billion. See Note 2 for additional details
related to accounting changes and error corrections.
Net Position – The primary government ended fiscal year 2023-24 with a net position of $14.6 billion,
an increase of $5.0 billion (52.5%) from the previous year, as restated. The total net position is reduced
by $138.0 billion for net investment in capital assets and by $77.1 billion for restricted net position,
yielding a negative unrestricted net position of $200.5 billion. Restricted net position is dedicated for
specified uses and is not available to fund current activities. Approximately 90.8%, or $182.1 billion, of
the negative $200.5 billion unrestricted net position consists of unfunded, employee-related, long-term
liabilities (net pension liability, net other post employment benefits 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 $66.2 billion to build capital assets
9
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
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, 2024, the primary government’s governmental funds reported a
combined ending fund balance of $123.4 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion over the prior fiscal year
fund balance, as restated. The unrestricted fund balance, comprised of committed, assigned, and
unassigned balances, was $51.4 billion, an increase of $46.4 billion over the prior year unrestricted fund
balance of $5.0 billion. The prior year unrestricted fund balance did not reflect the $46.2 billion
prior-period adjustment to the Federal Fund resulting from error corrections related to the State’s
unemployment programs. The nonspendable and restricted fund balances were $3.6 billion and
$68.4 billion, respectively.
Proprietary Funds – As of June 30, 2024, the primary government’s proprietary funds reported a
combined ending deficit net position of $21.0 billion, a decrease of $2.1 billion from the prior fiscal
year, as restated. The total net position is reduced by $4.5 billion for net investment in capital assets,
expendable restrictions of $8.7 billion, and nonexpendable restrictions of $2 million, yielding a negative
unrestricted net position of $34.2 billion.
Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities
As of June 30, 2024, the primary government’s noncurrent assets totaled $200.2 billion, of which
$177.8 billion is related to capital assets. State highway infrastructure assets of $85.2 billion represent
the largest portion of the State’s capital assets, while buildings and other depreciable property are the
second largest portion at $63.6 billion.
The primary government’s noncurrent liabilities totaled $305.6 billion, consisting of $182.1 billion in
unfunded employee-related future obligations, $76.1 billion in general obligation bonds, $30.3 billion in
revenue bonds, and $17.1 billion in other noncurrent liabilities. During fiscal year 2023-24, the primary
government’s noncurrent liabilities increased by $7.0 billion (2.3%) from the previously reported
noncurrent liabilities. The net increase in noncurrent liabilities is driven by an increase of $2.6 billion in
net pension liability and an increase of $2.3 billion in net other post-employment benefits (OPEB)
liability.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is an introduction to the section presenting the State’s basic financial
statements, which include 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.
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
10
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
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 TK–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
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
11
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
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 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.
◦ Internal service funds accumulate and allocate costs internally among the State’s various
functions. For example, internal service funds provide public buildings construction, information
12
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
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 net position (governmental and business-type activities) improved
by $5.0 billion (52.5%), from $9.6 billion, as restated, to $14.6 billion at June 30, 2024. The fiscal year
2023-24 beginning balance restatements were mainly due to error corrections of $46.2 billion to the
Federal Fund in estimating the State’s liability to the federal government for pandemic unemployment
programs that began in fiscal year 2019-20.
The primary government’s $138.0 billion net investment in capital assets, such as land, buildings,
equipment, and infrastructure (roads, bridges, and other immovable assets), comprise a significant
13
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
portion of its net position. This component of net position consists of capital assets 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 net position includes another $77.1 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, 2024, the primary government’s combined unrestricted deficit net position was
$200.5 billion—$168.2 billion for governmental activities and $32.3 billion for business-type activities.

Note: Prior-year adjustments recorded in the current year have not been reflected in the prior-year column due to the complexity and quantity of
adjustments to various accounts. Refer to Note 2 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections for details of current-year adjustments.
A significant factor contributing to the unrestricted net position 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, 2024, the primary government
recognized $182.1 billion (90.8% of the $200.5 billion unrestricted net position) in unfunded
14
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
employee-related obligations—net pension liability, net OPEB liability and compensated absences. In
addition, the primary government recognized $66.2 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.

Changes in Net Position
The expenses of the primary government totaled $478.6 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Of this amount, $245.0 billion (51.2%) was funded with program revenues (charges for services or
program-specific grants and contributions), leaving $233.6 billion to be funded with general revenues
(mainly taxes). The primary government’s general revenues of $238.6 billion were greater than the
unfunded expenses. As a result, the total net position, as restated, increased by $5.0 billion.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Governmental Activities
During fiscal year 2023-24, governmental activities’ expenses and transfers totaled $441.5 billion.
Program revenues totaling $210.1 billion, including $164.4 billion in federal grants and contributions,
funded 47.6% of expenses and transfers, leaving $231.5 billion to be funded with general revenues
(mainly taxes). General revenues for governmental activities of $238.6 billion exceeded net unfunded
expenses and transfers by $7.1 billion, resulting in the governmental activities’ net position of
$34.5 billion after restatement, as of June 30, 2024, an increase from the prior year’s restated net
position of $27.3 billion.

■ Program Revenues □ Expenses
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, total governmental activities’ revenue was $448.7 billion, an
increase of 7.7% from the prior year. General revenues increased by $10.9 billion (4.8%), to
$238.6 billion, and program revenues increased by $21.2 billion (11.2%), to $210.1 billion. Personal
income taxes increased by $1.7 billion (1.5%) from the prior year in fiscal year 2023-24, primarily due
to an increase in collections from high-income-earning Californians, who saw an increase in bonuses
and stock-based compensation. Corporation taxes rose marginally, by $780 million (2.1%) over the prior
year, due to growth in retail sales earnings fueled by inflation. Sales and use taxes decreased by
$232 million (0.4%) from the prior year due to a decline in consumer spending on services fueled by
inflation. Additionally, the State’s MCO tax contributed a $7.0 billion increase to general revenues, and
is expected to be a continuous revenue source due to voter approval of Proposition 35 in
November 2024.

sufficient to cover these expenses. As a result, the restated business-type activities’ net position
decreased from a deficit of $17.7 billion, to a deficit of $19.8 billion at June 30, 2024, a decrease of
$2.1 billion.

Fund Financial Analysis
The financial position of the State’s governmental funds improved in fiscal year 2023-24, with a
combined fund balance increase of $1.0 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 increase during the fiscal year, primarily due to an increase in personal income taxes from
high-income-earning Californians, as a result of increased bonuses and stock compensation. The
governmental funds also received a boost in revenue during fiscal year 2023-24 due to an increase of
$7.0 billion in managed care organization enrollment taxes, which were implemented in the previous
fiscal year to offset increasing costs related to the Medi-Cal program. The proprietary funds’ total net
position decreased by $2.1 billion during fiscal year 2023-24—comprised of a $2.1 billion net position
decrease for enterprise funds, as well as a $23 million decrease for internal service funds. The decrease
in the enterprise funds’ net position includes a net position decrease of $384 million in the California
State University Fund to a deficit balance of $14.3 billion, and a net position decrease of $2.5 billion in
the Unemployment Programs Fund to a deficit balance of $14.6 billion. The deficit net position in
Unemployment Programs reflects excessive borrowings from the federal government during the
pandemic to sustain unemployment insurance benefits; the borrowing of federal funds was necessary,
19
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
due to the State’s outdated tax system, ever-growing unemployment costs, and failure to build adequate
unemployment program reserves during periods of economic growth.
Governmental Funds
As of June 30, 2024, the governmental funds’ balance sheet reported $267.7 billion in assets,
$144.3 billion in liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, and fund balances totaling $123.4 billion.
Total assets of governmental funds increased by 2.9%, while total liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources decreased by 21.8%, which yielded a net fund balance increase of $1.0 billion.
Within the governmental funds’ total fund balance, $3.6 billion is classified as nonspendable, as this
amount consists of long-term interfund receivables, loans receivable, and legal or contractual
requirements. Another $68.4 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, $21.0 billion of the total fund balance is classified as committed for
specific purposes and $27.8 billion is classified as assigned for specific purposes. The remaining
unassigned balance of the governmental funds is $2.6 billion — $38.7 billion more than the unassigned
balance from the prior fiscal year.
The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of the governmental funds
reported $448.8 billion in revenues, $454.3 billion in expenditures, and $6.5 billion in net proceeds from
other financing sources. The ending fund balance of the governmental funds for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2024, was $123.4 billion, a $1.0 billion increase from the prior year’s restated ending fund
balance of $122.4 billion.
Governmental funds’ revenue consists primarily of taxes (52.3%) and intergovernmental
revenue (37.3%). Personal income taxes accounted for 49.7% of tax revenues and increased by
$2.1 billion over the prior fiscal year. Sales and use taxes accounted for 22.7% of tax revenues and
decreased by $226 million from the prior fiscal year. Corporation taxes accounted for 15.9% of tax
revenues and increased by $635 million over the prior fiscal year. Intergovernmental revenue, primarily
from the federal government, increased by $15.8 billion (10.4%) over the prior fiscal year.
Governmental funds’ expenditures increased by $31.2 billion (7.4%) from the prior fiscal year. The
increase is mainly due to the growth in health and human services expenditures of $20.3 billion (9.3%),
consisting primarily of spending on Medi-Cal. The overall increase in governmental funds’ expenditures
also consists of an increase in education expenditures of $4.0 billion (4.0%) from the prior fiscal year.
While the original Budget did not increase the Proposition 98 calculation for fiscal year 2023-24,
higher-than-anticipated General Fund revenues allowed for a large true-up investment in education.
Proposition 98 outlines the constitutional requirement that provides a minimum funding guarantee to
support California’s TK-12 schools and community colleges. Other notable increases in governmental
funds’expenditures over the prior year include $3.5 billion (16.0%) for transportation, and
$2.5 billion (19.0%) for natural resources and environmental protection.

■ 2024 □ 2023
The State’s major governmental funds are the General Fund, the Federal Fund, and the Environmental
and Natural Resources Fund. The Transportation Fund and Health Care Related Programs Fund were
previously reported as major governmental funds. These funds were reclassified to nonmajor and are
now reported with other nonmajor governmental special revenue funds. Refer to Note 2, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections for further details. The General Fund ended the fiscal year with a fund
balance of $63.4 billion, a decrease of $1.0 billion from the prior year’s fund balance, as restated. The
Federal Fund ended the year with a fund balance of $357 million, while the Environmental and Natural
Resources Fund ended the fiscal year with a fund balance of $23.9 billion. The nonmajor governmental
funds ended the fiscal year with a combined fund balance of $35.8 billion.
General Fund: As shown on the Balance Sheet, the General Fund (the State’s main operating fund)
ended fiscal year 2023-24 with assets of $129.9 billion; liabilities and deferred inflows of resources of
$66.5 billion; and nonspendable, restricted, committed, and assigned fund balances of $3.6 billion,
$26.0 billion, $2.3 billion, and $27.7 billion, respectively. This left the General Fund with an unassigned
fund balance of $3.8 billion, a decrease of $6.5 billion from the prior year. Total assets of the General
Fund decreased by $3.7 billion (2.8%) from the prior fiscal year, and total liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources decreased by $3.1 million (4.4%) from the prior year.

■ 2024 □ 2023
As shown on the Statement of Revenue, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances, General Fund
revenues exceeded expenditures by $5.0 billion ($195.3 billion in revenues and $190.3 billion in
expenditures). Approximately $184.8 billion (94.6%) of General Fund revenue is derived from the
State’s largest three taxes—personal income taxes ($114.3 billion), corporation taxes ($37.3 billion), and
sales and use taxes ($33.2 billion). A total of $826 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 2023-24, total General Fund revenue increased by $2.9 billion (1.5%), mainly due to
an increase in personal income taxes. Meanwhile, General Fund expenditures decreased by
$692 million. The General Fund ended the fiscal year with a fund balance of $63.4 billion after transfers,
a decrease of $1.0 billion from the prior year’s restated ending fund balance of $64.4 billion. The
General Fund’s ending fund balance includes $22.6 billion restricted for budget stabilization if the
Governor must declare a budget emergency during an economic crisis, such as the COVID-19
pandemic, floods, or wildfires.
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 $132.4 billion (81.4%) of the total $162.7 billion in fund
expenditures. Education, transportation, and general government programs also constituted $18.0 billion
(11.1%), $5.3 billion (3.2%) and $4.4 billion (2.7%) of the fund’s expenditures, respectively. The
Federal Fund’s revenues increased by $15.3 billion from the prior year, while expenditures and transfers
had a combined increase of $16.3 billion, resulting in a $667 million decrease from the prior year’s
restated ending fund balance of $1.0 billion, to $357 million.
22
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
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 $2.0 billion (21.9%) 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 increased by $1.8 billion (20.9%). 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 $23.9 billion fund balance, an
increase of $3.2 billion (15.3%) over the prior year.
Proprietary Funds
Enterprise Funds: The total deficit net position of the enterprise funds at June 30, 2024, was
$19.8 billion—a $2.1 billion decline from the prior year’s restated deficit net position of $17.7 billion.
The largest portion of this decline in net position was attributable to the Unemployment Programs Fund,
with a $2.5 billion decrease to net position, ending the fiscal year with a deficit net position of
$14.6 billion. The decline was offset by the increase in the net position of nonmajor enterprise funds of
$754 million. The net position of the California State University Fund decreased by $384 million and the
net position of the State Lottery Fund decreased by $17 million.
As shown on the proprietary funds’ Statement of Net Position, total assets and deferred outflows of
resources for the enterprise funds were $55.7 billion as of June 30, 2024. Of this amount, current assets
totaled $16.0 billion, noncurrent assets totaled $33.4 billion, and deferred outflows of resources totaled
$6.3 billion. Total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources for the enterprise funds was $75.5 billion.
One of the largest liabilities of the enterprise funds is $19.5 billion due to other governments,
$19.1 billion of which represents borrowings from the U.S. Department of Labor for the Unemployment
Programs Fund, primarily associated with federal pandemic relief programs. As of June 30, 2024, the
Unemployment Programs Fund also reported a balance on deposit with the U.S. Treasury of
$474 million, funds also used to pay unemployment claims during the pandemic. Other noteworthy
cumulative liabilities of the enterprise funds include a net OPEB liability of $15.4 billion, $15.1 billion
in revenue bonds payable including the current portion, and $10.1 billion in net pension liability. Total
net position for enterprise funds consisted of four segments: net investment in capital assets of
$3.9 billion, nonexpendable restricted net position of $2 million, restricted expendable net position of
$8.6 billion, and unrestricted net deficit of $32.3 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 $30.4 billion, operating expenses
of $38.4 billion, and net revenues from other transactions and transfers of $5.8 billion. The largest
sources of operating revenues were unemployment and disability insurance receipts of $15.6 billion in
the Unemployment Programs Fund, and lottery ticket sales of $9.3 billion collected by the State Lottery
Fund. Unemployment and disability insurance receipts in the Unemployment Programs Fund were
$397 million (2.6%) greater than the prior fiscal year. The largest operating expenses were distributions
to beneficiaries of $17.8 billion reported in the Unemployment Programs Fund, personal services
expenses of $6.9 billion reported in the California State University Fund, and lottery prizes of $6.0
billion distributed by the State Lottery Fund.
23
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Internal Service Funds: The total net position of the internal service funds was $1.2 billion as of
June 30, 2024. The net position consists of three segments: net investment in capital assets of
$622 million, restricted expendable net position of $137 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 $899.7 billion. The private purpose trust
funds ended the fiscal year with a net position of $16.7 billion. The investment trust funds ended the
fiscal year with a net position of $22.2 billion. The custodial fund ended the fiscal year with a net
position of $684 million.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the fiduciary funds’ combined net position was $939.3 billion, a
$72.3 billion increase from the prior year’s net position. Although the net position of the investment
trust funds decreased by 13.9% compared to the prior year, the overall net position of the fiduciary funds
increased primarily because contributions received and investment income in pension and other
employee benefit trust funds exceeded payments made to participants.
General Fund Budget Highlights
The original General Fund budget of $154.7 billion was increased by $68.0 billion during fiscal year
2023-24. This increase is primarily attributable to additional funding for education, health and human
services, and other general government expenditures.
Education increased due to an increase in guaranteed minimum funding levels for TK-12 schools and
community colleges under Proposition 98.
Health and Human Services increased because of investments made by the State to expand Medi-Cal
eligibility to all income-eligible adults, address homelessness, and strengthen the public health
infrastructure.
Other general government increased due to a rise in funding for retirement health benefits and the
accelerated payment of state retirement liabilities.

Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital Assets
As of June 30, 2024, the State’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type
activities amounted to $177.8 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, 2024, the State’s capital assets increased by $5.8 billion, or 3.4% over the prior fiscal
year. The majority of the increase is attributed to net additions to buildings and other depreciable
property of $3.5 billion, construction/development in progress of $2.1 billion, and state highway
infrastructure of $2.1 billion. Additional information on the State’s capital assets can be found in Note 7.

Note: Prior-year adjustments recorded in the current year have not been reflected in the prior-year column.
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 2023-24, the actual amount spent on preservation was
48.0% 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 94.0% 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
12,681 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, 2024, the State had total bonded debt outstanding of $111.9 billion. Of this amount,
$80.1 billion (71.6%) 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
26
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
long-term portion is $76.1 billion. The remaining $31.8 billion (28.4%) of bonded debt outstanding
represents revenue bonds, which are secured solely by specified revenue sources. The current portion of
revenue bonds outstanding is $1.5 billion and the long-term portion is $30.3 billion.
During the fiscal year, the State issued a total of $8.3 billion in new general obligation bonds to fund
various capital projects and other voter-approved costs related to TK-12 schools and higher education
facilities, transportation improvements and high-speed rail, water quality and environmental protection,
and other public purposes.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
During the year ended June 30, 2024, the State’s general obligation bonds rating from Fitch Ratings,
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, 2024
California’s economy was in an extended slowdown during the 2023-24 fiscal year, characterized by a
soft labor market and weak consumer spending, primarily driven by the Federal Reserve’s efforts to
tamp down inflation by raising interest rates and shrinking how much money was available for lending
and investment. While this slowdown has been gradual and the severity milder than a recession, outside
of government and healthcare, the state experienced minimal job growth over an 18-month period and
the number of unemployed workers in California rose by nearly 160,000 during the 2023-24 fiscal year,
resulting in a 0.7% increase to the state’s unemployment rate. Despite the economic slowdown, a bright
spot emerged: strong growth in total pay to California workers. Total pay grew at an above-average rate
of 17% annualized in the first half of 2024, as optimism surrounding artificial intelligence led to a surge
in the stock market. Total pay aims to capture the full economic value of a job, and includes components
beyond base salary and wages, such as incentive pay, employee benefits, and stock options.
California’s real gross domestic product (GDP) reached $4.1 trillion at June 30, 2024, an increase of
6.3% during fiscal year 2023-24, compared to real GDP of $3.8 trillion at June 30, 2023, growth of 6.1%
during the 2022-23 fiscal year. California’s economic growth was faster than that of the United States
GDP, which increased by 5.7% during fiscal year 2023-24.
During the 2023-24 fiscal year, the California real estate market continued to experience challenges
posed by elevated mortgage rates, high home prices, and a low supply of homes available for sale. The
median price of homes in California was $900,720 as of June 2024, an increase of 7.5% from the prior
year and a nominal increase of 5.0% over a two-year span. By comparison, the national median home
price increased by 2.7% from the prior year to $421,400 in June 2024. The housing market saw 30-year
fixed mortgage rates rise to an average of 6.9% in June 2024, compared to 6.7% in June 2023. The rate
increase impacted sales of existing single-family homes; in June 2024, sales were down 2.7% from the
prior year. New active listings increased by 37% from June 2023 to June 2024. However, the number of
new privately owned residential units in California decreased during fiscal year 2023-24 by
approximately 1,659 units. A more favorable interest rate may loosen up the “lock-in effect”—the
reluctance of homeowners to sell their homes with lower-interest mortgages and improve housing
inventory; this in turn could encourage buyers and sellers to return to the market and boost both home
sales and prices.
The real estate market was not the only segment of the state’s economy that was adjusting during the
2023-24 fiscal year. New light vehicle registrations decreased by 0.7% in the first six months of 2024
compared to the prior year, as monthly finance and lease costs remain elevated due to higher
interest rates.
Unemployment insurance claims per week, which had increased to 385,000 at the end of the 2022-23
fiscal year, decreased marginally as California issued approximately 381,000 claims per week to
unemployed workers by June 30, 2024. Conversely, the unemployment rate rose to 5.3% by the end of
fiscal year 2023-24, compared to 4.6% at the end of the prior period. During fiscal year 2023-24, the
increase of approximately 78,000 new non-farm jobs was an alarming deceleration compared to
28
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
approximately 157,000 jobs gained in the prior fiscal year. Only four of California’s 11 major industry
sectors experienced job growth. The private education and health services sectors saw growth for a
fourth consecutive year, with a 5.8% gain in jobs during fiscal year 2022-23 and another 181,000 jobs
added in fiscal year 2023-24, an increase of 5.8%. The private education and health services sectors
include jobs in private educational institutions and services as well as health care and social assistance.
Californians’ personal income increased 7.5% during the period, which was in line with the national
increase of 7.5%. Since 2014, personal income of Californians has grown an average of 5.6% 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 5.2% during the same period. Effective
January 1, 2024, California’s minimum wage increased to $16.00 per hour. The minimum wage
continued to increase to $16.50 per hour on January 1, 2025; fast food restaurant employees’ minimum
wage increased to $20.00 per hour on April 1, 2024; and certain health care workers received $20.00 per
hour minimum wage on October 16, 2024. Despite 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 continued to pose a risk to the state’s economy.
Economic Conditions for the 2024-25 Fiscal Year and Future Outlook
In the 2024-25 fiscal year, California’s economy experienced the slow but relatively stable growth
characteristic of a mature economic expansion, overtaking Japan to become the fourth-largest economy
in the world. However, with the change in U.S. presidential administrations, risks to California’s
economy began to emerge in early 2025 from various federal policies including broad and elevated
tariffs and strict immigration policies. California is the nation’s largest importer and second-largest
exporter, and tariffs are expected to have a wide-ranging impact on the economy, potentially leading to
slower job and income growth and higher inflation. California also faces threats in federal funding cuts
that could put the state’s healthcare, safety net, and education programs at risk. In addition, in January
2025, California experienced devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles region that burned an estimated
16,000 homes, businesses, and other structures. The fires caused an unprecedented economic loss of
more than $250.0 billion, leading to a state tax filing postponement for affected individuals and
businesses until October 15, 2025.
Because of these challenges, California’s economy continued in an incremental growth pattern amid
vigilant oversight. At the end of 2024, the state’s GDP climbed to $4.2 trillion, an increase of 4.2% over
the previous year, which was less than the United States GDP increase of 4.7% over the same period.
Personal income growth for Californians was robust, increasing by 5.0% during 2024. Statewide
personal income growth outpaced both the increase in Consumer Price Index of 2.7% during the period
and the U.S. national personal income increase of 4.5%. California’s unemployment rate for the 2024-25
fiscal year was relatively stable throughout the year, ending at 5.3% in April 2025.
The California housing market entered a period of uncertainty during the latter half of fiscal year
2024-25, as consumers remained worried about their financial outlook for the year ahead, and the
Federal Reserve has held interest rates steady until the impact of federal policy changes and global
events becomes more clear. Existing home sales totaled 265,000 units in May 2025, a 4.0% decrease
from May 2024. The 30-year fixed mortgage interest rate decreased slightly, from an average of 7.1% in
May 2024, to a 6.8% average in May 2025. As demand for homes continued to outpace supply, the
statewide median home price rose to $900,170 in May 2025, a decrease of 0.9% from May 2024. While
29
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
higher levels of active home listings not seen in the prior two years should help to moderate price
growth, elevated mortgage rates will continue to pose a challenge to homebuyers in the months ahead.
New vehicle registrations increased by 8.3% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period
last year. This increase in new registrations is mainly attributable to purchases made in anticipation of
the implementation of new auto tariffs. Although pent-up demand and increased affordability due to
lower interest rates were expected to propel the market in 2025, the outlook remains uncertain due to the
volatile nature of current trade policy.
In the first half of 2025, the federal administration enacted a series of sweeping tariff measures,
including a global 10% tariff on nearly all imports, and elevated reciprocal tariffs on specific countries
including China, the European Union, and Japan. It also enacted, targeted increases of 50% on steel and
aluminum, and 25% on automobiles. As California serves as a gateway for goods imported from Asia,
and the state’s three largest trading partners are Canada, Mexico and China, the state is expected to be
especially vulnerable to the tariffs. Job growth in the leisure and hospitality, professional and business
services, manufacturing, trade, transportation, and utilities sectors is projected to be impacted most
severely. Additionally, the state could see an uptick in inflation across all major consumer price index
categories. If tariffs are scaled back substantially, the state’s economy will likely remain on a lower
trajectory in the near-term, as businesses and consumers are expected to remain cautious in the face of
ongoing uncertainty.
California’s 2024-25 Budget
California’s 2024-25 Budget Act was enacted on June 26, 2024. The Budget Act appropriated
$297.9 billion: $211.5 billion from the General Fund, $84.0 billion from special funds, and $2.4 billion
from bond funds. Budgeted expenditures for the General Fund decreased by $11.6 billion (5.2%) from
last year’s budget, to $211.5 billion, and General Fund revenues were projected to be $212.1 billion.
General Fund revenue comes predominantly from taxes, with personal income taxes expected to provide
56.2% of total revenue in fiscal year 2024-25. California’s major taxes, including personal income taxes,
sales and use taxes, and corporation taxes, were projected to supply approximately 93.2% of the General
Fund’s resources in the 2024-25 fiscal year. The General Fund was projected to end the 2024-2025 fiscal
year with $22.2 billion in total reserves, including $17.6 billion in the Budget Stabilization Account
(BSA) for fiscal emergencies, $1.1 billion in the Public School System Stabilization Account (PSSSA),
and $3.5 billion in the State’s operating reserve.
The 2024-25 Budget Act decreased total state expenditures by $12.4 billion from the 2023-24 budgeted
level. Notable General Fund spending changes included decreases of $6.9 billion for General
Government operations and $2.5 billion for Health and Human Services, and an increase of $2.2 billion
for K-12 Education. The General Fund’s share of the Proposition 98 guaranteed minimum funding level
for K-12 schools and community colleges increased by $15.5 billion from the revised 2023-24 fiscal
year level, to $82.6 billion.
The Budget included total funding of $133.8 billion for all K-12 education programs, reflecting
significant Proposition 98 funding to enable increased support for core programs such as the Local
Control Funding Formula, special education, transitional kindergarten, nutrition, and preschool. The
Budget included $1.0 billion in one-time funding for the Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention
Program; maintained Medi-Cal funding for the expansion of health care and In-Home Support Services
benefit levels to all income-eligible Californians regardless of immigration status; preserved $7.1 billion
30
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
in funding for Behavioral Health; preserved $250 million for the Middle Mile Broadband Initiative; and
preserved $2.0 billion for Last Mile projects over fiscal years 2024-25, 2025-26, and 2026-27.
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the State experienced significant revenue volatility, seeing
unprecedented revenue growth that was quickly followed by a sharp correction back toward historical
trends. Additionally, the unprecedented Internal Revenue Service tax filing and payment postponement
in 2023, affecting 99% of state taxpayers, significantly clouded the State’s revenue forecast. Over the
past decade, the State has accumulated reserves to better prepare for economic downturns and to
mitigate against the volatility in the state’s revenue structure. The Budget took steps to put California on
sound financial footing by pursuing a fiscally responsible long-term path that would protect vital
programs and solve a $46.8 billion deficit for the fiscal year through a mix of broad-based solutions.
Included in the Budget were $16.0 billion in reductions, including ongoing reductions to state operations
and a vacant position sweep, a $500 million reduction in the California Student Housing Revolving
Loan Program, a $1.1 billion reduction to various affordable housing programs, and a $746 million
reduction for various healthcare workforce programs. The Budget included $13.6 billion in additional
revenue sources and borrowed internally from special funds, leveraging creative solutions such as a
suspension on the use of net operating losses, a limit on credits for business taxes, and an increase in the
Managed Care Organization Tax to support the Medi-Cal program. The Budget also enacted a
$6.0 billion draw down from reserves, including $5.1 billion from the BSA and $900 million from the
Safety Net Reserve in fiscal year 2024-25. Moreover, the Budget shifted $6.0 billion in certain
expenditures from the General Fund to other funds, minimized the use of $3.1 billion in delays to avoid
both increased future obligations and potential shortfalls, and deferred $2.1 billion in certain payments
to future years.
In June 2025, the 2025-26 Budget Act was enacted; it provided updated estimates of fiscal year 2024-25
General Fund revenues, expenditures, and reserves. The 2025-26 Budget Act projected fiscal year
2024-25 General Fund revenue of $226.7 billion after transfers—$14.6 billion (6.9%) more than
projected in the 2024-25 Budget Act—and expenditures of $233.6 billion. Total year-end reserves were
estimated at $35.9 billion—$18.3 billion in the BSA, $17.1 billion in the State’s operating reserve, and
$455 million in the PSSSA—which was $13.7 billion (61.7%) more than projected in the 2024-25
Budget Act.
California’s 2025-26 Budget
California’s fiscal year 2025-26 Budget Act was enacted on June 27, 2025; it includes projections of
fiscal year 2025-26 General Fund revenues, expenditures, and reserves. General Fund revenues are
anticipated to be $215.7 billion, a decrease of $11.0 billion (4.9%) from revised fiscal year 2024-25
revenue estimates. The decrease is primarily due to projected decreases of $8.2 billion in other revenue
sources and $6.1 billion in corporation taxes, partially offset by projected increases of $1.2 billion in
sales and use taxes and $2.2 billion in transfers from the BSA. General Fund expenditures for fiscal year
2025-26 are budgeted at $228.4 billion, a decrease of $5.2 billion (2.2%) compared to the revised fiscal
year 2024-25 estimates. The Budget maintains fiscal discipline by preserving a total of $15.7 billion in
budgetary reserves—$11.2 billion in the BSA for fiscal emergencies and $4.5 billion in the State’s
operating reserve.
The 2025-26 Budget Act maintains the State’s commitment to increase funding for education and
preserves its investment in the Los Angeles fire recovery efforts. The Budget allocates total funding of
$137.6 billion for all TK-12 education programs, and $45.1 billion for all higher education entities. The
31
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Budget also continues authority to spend from the previously approved $2.5 billion for the Los Angeles
fire recovery efforts.
In January 2025, the 2025-26 Governor’s Budget projected modest but slow economic growth, with a
slight surplus in the budget window. This was followed by continued positive signs early in the year, as
revenues came in substantially higher than projected, reflecting strong performance in California’s
economy and the stock market in 2024 and early 2025. However, the subsequent imposition of federal
policy changes significantly slowed growth in the California economy. Most notably, broad-based tariffs
blunted this growth and prompted a downgrade to California’s economic and revenue forecasts at the
2025-26 May Revision. At the same time, California also experienced substantial cost and caseload
growth in several core state programs, most notably in Medi-Cal, which combined to create a General
Fund shortfall of $11.8 billion. The 2025-26 Budget Act closes this gap through a range of solutions,
including difficult but necessary actions that reduce ongoing expenditure growth to maintain budget
resilience and provide long-term stability for critical state programs, while also maintaining significant
reserves. The Budget Act also incorporates a comprehensive regulatory streamlining package that will
advance more affordable housing and infrastructure. Because the Budget Act was approved in late June
2025, it does not reflect the impact of the substantial cuts in federal spending included in the federal
omnibus tax and spending bill signed in early July 2025. The Governor’s administration continues to
evaluate the impacts of this measure and will work with the state legislature if any changes to the
2025-26 Budget are necessary.

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 $ 977,483
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 5,613,431
Disposal of assets (240,908)
Depreciation expense, net of asset disposal (1,311,376)
4,061,147
• Some revenues in the Statement of Activities do not provide current financial resources and, (162,270)
therefore, are unavailable in governmental funds.
• Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as (23,487)
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
Bonds Bonds Paper Total
Debt issued (8,300,640) — (1,244,900) (9,545,540)
Premium on debt issued (662,745) — — (662,745)
Accreted interest — (69,643) — (69,643)
Principal repayments 7,224,520 334,601 1,540,840 9,099,961
Related expenses not reported
in governmental funds:
Premium/discount
amortization 696,866 140 — 697,006
Deferred gain/loss on
refunding 31,680 (30,694) — 986
Accrued interest (41,089) 569 — (40,520)

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 (1,618)
Lease, subscription, and financed purchase liability (10,702)
Net pension liability 23,647
Net other postemployment benefits liability 3,117,401
Mandated cost claims (77,393)
Workers’ compensation (301,111)
Pollution remediation obligations 53,932
Other noncurrent liabilities 30,600
2,834,756
Change in net position of governmental activities $ 7,167,134

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).
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.
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
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
73
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
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
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
74
Notes to the Financial Statements
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, 2023).
Other component units, which include the following entities:
• The University of California College of the Law, San Francisco, 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
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
75
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
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, 2024, CADA had total assets and deferred outflows of resources of
$87 million, total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources of $53 million, and total net position of
$34 million. Total revenues for the fiscal year were $20 million and expenses were $14 million,
resulting in an increase in net position of $6 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.
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.
76
Notes to the Financial Statements
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

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.
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.
78
Notes to the Financial Statements
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 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.
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.
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.
79
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
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.
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.
80
Notes to the 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
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.
81
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
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 4, 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 5,
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.
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.
82
Notes to the Financial Statements
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.
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.
83
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
The State is a lessee for various non-cancelable 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 non-cancelable subscription-based information technology arrangements (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, subscription 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
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
84
Notes to the Financial Statements
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 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 (No Place Like Home and the
Golden State Tobacco Securitization Corporation), 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
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, change in the 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
85
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
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.
• 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
86
Notes to the Financial Statements
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.
• 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.
87
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
• 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 parking,
student housing and certain other faculty and student services. Under these arrangements, the
University enters into ground leases with third parties at minimal or no cost, and gives the third
party the right to construct, operate and maintain a facility, primarily for the benefit of students and
faculty at competitive rates. Rate increases for use of the facilities are subject to certain constraints,
and ownership of the facilities reverts to the University upon expiration of the ground lease. The
facilities are reported as capital assets by the University when placed in service, and a
corresponding deferred inflow of resources is reported. The University has not provided guarantees
on financing obtained by the third parties under these arrangements.
• 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, 2024,
the government-wide financial statements show restricted net position for the primary government of
$77.1 billion, of which $20.2 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.
N. Stabilization Arrangements
1. 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, 2024, the Budget
Stabilization Account had a restricted fund balance of $22.6 billion.
2. 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, 2024, the SFEU represented $3.8 billion of the unassigned balance of the General Fund.
3. 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, 2024, the PSSSA
represented $10.8 billion of cash reported in the General Fund, $10.8 billion of which was due to other
funds, and $1 million of which was due to other governments. Accordingly, the PSSSA reported no
fund balance as of June 30, 2024.
91
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
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: ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND ERROR CORRECTIONS
A. Changes in Accounting Principles
The provisions of the following Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements have
been implemented for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024:
GASB Statement No. 99, Omnibus 2022 is effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The
objectives of this Statement are to enhance comparability in accounting and financial reporting and
to improve the consistency of authoritative literature by addressing practice issues that have been
identified during implementation and application of certain GASB Statements and accounting and
financial reporting for financial guarantees. The following elements were implemented for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2024; these elements had an insignificant impact on the State’s ACFR:
• Accounting and financial reporting for financial guarantees.
• Classification and reporting of derivative instruments within the scope of Statement No. 53,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments, that do not meet the definition
of either an investment derivative instrument or a hedging derivative instrument.
GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - An Amendment of GASB
Statement No. 62 is effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The primary objective of this
Statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes
and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and
comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability. This Statement defines
accounting changes as changes in accounting principles, changes in accounting estimates, and
changes to or within the financial reporting entity and describes the transactions or other events
that constitute those changes. This Statement also addresses corrections of errors in previously
issued financial statements. This Statement prescribes the accounting and financial reporting for
each type of accounting change and error correction. This Statement requires that (a) changes in
accounting principles and error corrections be reported retroactively by restating prior periods,
(b) changes to or within the financial reporting entity be reported by adjusting beginning balances
of the current period, and (c) changes in accounting estimates be reported prospectively by
recognizing the change in the current period. This Statement also requires that the aggregate
amount of adjustments to and restatements of beginning net position, fund balance, or fund net
position, as applicable, be displayed by reporting unit in the financial statements. Implementation
of GASB Statement No. 100 resulted in the removal of Section N., Restatement of Beginning Fund
Balances and Net Position, from within Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Implementation of GASB Statement No. 100 also resulted in the creation of a new footnote to the
financial statements—Note 2, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Further, the
implementation of GASB Statement No. 100 has the potential to impact any of the 12 basic or
combining financial statements if the presented information includes accounting changes or
error corrections.
92
Notes to the Financial Statements
B. Changes to or within the Financial Reporting Entity
Two major governmental funds, the Transportation Fund and the Health Care Related Programs Fund,
were reclassified to nonmajor governmental funds. The reclassification of the Transportation Fund and
the Health Care Related Programs Fund resulted in a decrease of $10.8 billion and $2.0 billion,
respectively, in the beginning fund balance of major governmental funds, and a combined $12.8 billion
increase in the beginning fund balance of nonmajor governmental funds. The effects of this change are
shown in the Changes To or Within the Financial Reporting Entity column of Table 1 below.
The beginning net position of the University of California, a discretely presented component unit of the
State, decreased by $11 million. The University’s ownership of a blended component unit decreased
such that the component unit no longer qualified to be blended, but was now to be accounted for under
the equity method of accounting. The effects of this change are shown in the Changes To or Within the
Financial Reporting Entity column of Table 1 below.
C. Error Corrections in Previously Issued Financial Statements
1. Government-wide Governmental Activities
Error corrections affecting the prior reporting period increased beginning net position by $47.5 billion
for governmental activities. The errors affected loan receivables, capital assets, deferred receivables,
pollution remediation obligations, and other liabilities.
• Identification of reporting errors such as capital assets unreported, assets reported as capital assets
that do not meet the State’s capitalization policy, unreported transfers of capital assets between
departments, and other various errors in recognition and measurement of capital assets led to
corrections from various departments within the primary government. The beginning balances of
capital assets that are not being depreciated or amortized increased by $37 million, the beginning
balances of capital assets being depreciated or amortized increased by $594 million, and the
beginning balances of accumulated depreciation and amortization decreased by $7 million. Overall,
the error corrections resulted in an increase of $638 million in beginning net position.
• Error corrections related to managed care health programs, the Public Hospital Bridge Loan
Program, the Veteran Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program, Medi-Cal, and to the State’s
unemployment programs increased beginning net position by $320 million, $79 million, $6 million,
$223 million, and $46.2 billion, respectively, as described in the section for governmental fund error
corrections below.
• Corrections to right-to-use capital assets such as leases and SBITAs resulted from a failure to apply
recognition criteria correctly to both eligible and ineligible contracts, and errors in measurement or
remeasurement of lease and SBITA obligations from the prior reporting period. Corrections of these
errors decreased beginning net position by $53 million, and included adjustments to lease
receivables, right-to-use capital assets and related accumulated amortization, lease and subscription
liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and expenses.
• Errors in combining entities within the California State University Fund required corrections to
construction/development in progress, equipment, related accumulated depreciation, and net
investment in capital assets that increased beginning net position by $357 thousand.
93
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
• Errors in reporting of accounts receivable and deferred inflows of resources for the State’s
corrections and rehabilitation programs required corrections that resulted in a decrease of $2 million
to beginning net position.
• Error corrections to pollution remediation obligations for the State’s transportation and water
resources programs increased beginning net position by $90 million.
2. Government-wide Business-type Activities
Error corrections related to capital assets for the California State University Fund decreased beginning
net position by $357 thousand, as described in the section for proprietary fund error corrections.
3. Governmental Funds
• Corrections to the prior reporting period for leases in which the State is a lessor resulted from a
failure to apply recognition criteria correctly to both eligible and ineligible contracts, and errors in
measurement or remeasurement of lease contracts. Corrections to the beginning balance of lease
receivables and deferred inflows of resources increased beginning fund balance by $8 million for
governmental funds. Specifically, there was a $6 million increase to the General Fund, a
$94 thousand decrease to the Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, and a $2 million increase
to nonmajor special revenue funds (Transportation Fund and Other Special Revenue
Programs Funds).
• Unreported receivables for contract overpayments related to managed care health plans resulted in
error corrections that increased beginning fund balance of the General Fund by $320 million.
• Unreported loan receivables for the nondesignated public hospital bridge loan program resulted in
error corrections that increased the beginning fund balance of the General Fund by $79 million.
• An error in reporting prior year loan disbursements for the Veteran Housing and Homelessness
Prevention Program resulted in a correction that increased the beginning fund balance of nonmajor
governmental funds by $6 million.
• An error in reporting prior year accruals of Medi-Cal expenditures and reimbursements resulted in a
correction that increased the beginning fund balance of nonmajor governmental funds by
$223 million.
• As of June 30, 2022, the State’s unemployment insurance department accrued a liability of
$55.3 billion in the Federal Fund to account for the large volume of unemployment benefit claims
paid to beneficiaries through federal pandemic programs under the CARES Act, for which the State
was unable to validate eligibility. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the amount in the Federal
Fund was adjusted down to $46.2 billion. In December 2023, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
released Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) 05-24, which raised the possibility for
states to apply their statutes of limitations to CARES Act unemployment compensation claims. UIPL
05-24 prompted further inquiry from the State due to the lack of clear guidance on this issue. In
January 2025, DOL informed the State that under the CARES Act, as amended, there is no
requirement for states to repay the federal government for CARES Act unemployment compensation
overpayments that remain unrecovered. Accordingly, the position of the State’s unemployment
insurance department is that the liability that was accrued in the Federal Fund has been determined
to not be owed to the federal government and should be reversed. For the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2024, an error correction to reduce the beginning balance of other liabilities and increase
beginning fund balance by $46.2 billion is reflected in the Federal Fund.
94
Notes to the Financial Statements
4. Proprietary Funds
The California State University Fund, a major enterprise fund, made error corrections to the prior
reporting period construction/development in progress, equipment, related accumulated depreciation,
and net investment in capital assets that resulted in a decrease of $357 thousand in beginning fund
net position.
5. Internal Service Funds
Corrections to right-to-use capital assets such as leases and SBITAs resulted from failure to apply
recognition criteria correctly to both eligible and ineligible contracts, and from errors in measurement or
remeasurement of lease and SBITA obligations from the prior reporting period. Correction of these
errors decreased the beginning fund net position by $2 million for internal service funds and included
adjustments to right-to-use capital assets and related accumulated amortization, and lease and
subscription liabilities.
6. Discretely Presented Component Units
The beginning net position of the California State University Auxiliary Organizations, a nonmajor
component unit, decreased by $3 million due to prior-period corrections to various accounts such as
accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, capital assets, accounts payable, lease liabilities, other current
liabilities, unearned revenues, other operating revenues, and interest expense.
The sum effect of the above restatements are shown in the Error Corrections column in Table 1
below.
7. Other Restatements
In addition, the following restatements impacted various accounts from the prior reporting period but did
not impact beginning fund balance, fund net position, or net position:
• The California State University Fund, a major enterprise fund, reported lease revenue bonds in the
prior reporting period as other long-term obligations. The balance of $97 million was reclassified to
revenue bonds outstanding.
• The Water Resources Fund, a major enterprise fund, reduced the beginning balance of pollution
remediation obligations by $6 million after discovering an error in the measurement estimate of its
pollution remediation obligations.
• A nonmajor component unit reclassified capital assets and related accumulated depreciation which
led to a reduction of infrastructure and an increase to buildings and improvements of $59 million.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 3: 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, 2024, increased the spending
authority for the budgetary/legal basis-reported General Fund and the Environmental and Natural
Resources 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.
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
98

StateGovReports@sco.ca.gov or visit State Government Annual Financial Reports.
NOTE 4: 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, 2024, these discretely presented
component units and related organizations accounted for approximately 2.08% 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, 2024, totaling approximately
$6.4 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, 2024, the State Treasurer’s Office had on deposit with a fiscal agent amounts totaling
$18 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.
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.
99
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
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 $2.9 billion in interest revenue received by the General Fund from the pooled investment
program in the fiscal year 2023-24 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

Notes to the Financial Statements
Table 2 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.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average maturity of the securities in the pooled investment program
administered by the State Treasurer’s Office was approximately 220 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, 2024, 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, 2024, structured notes and medium-term asset-backed securities comprised
approximately 1.45% of the pooled investments. A portion of the structured notes was callable agency
securities, which represented 1.30% 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
102
Notes to the Financial Statements
holdings were short-term, asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP), which represented 1.66% of the
pooled investments.
Table 3 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.
103
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
a. Interest Rate Risk
Table 4 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
$363 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, 2024, only $2 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, 2024, 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, 2024, the State had investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling 9.9% of the total
pooled investments and other primary government investments.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 10: LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
As of June 30, 2024, the primary government had long-term obligations totaling $314.0 billion. Of that
amount, $8.4 billion is due within one year. Governmental activities had a net increase in long-term
obligations of $4.8 billion, primarily due to increases of $2.2 billion in net pension liability and
$1.3 billion in net other postemployment benefits (OPEB) liability. Other significant increases included
general obligation bonds payable of $794 million.
Not included in the mandated cost claims payable shown in Table 13 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, 2024, pollution remediation obligations decreased by $53 million from the prior fiscal
year-end, to $1.7 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, 2024, 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, 2024, the State
estimates that the oil field abandonment liability is $1.0 billion, and the State has reserves of
$345 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 $19 million, availability payment arrangements of $977 million, lessee-type financed
purchases of $19 million, Technology Services Revolving Fund notes payable of $21 million and a
Transportation Fund performance obligation of $583 million. The net pension liability, net OPEB
liability, compensated absences, and availability payment arrangements will be liquidated by the
118
Notes to the Financial Statements
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 $2.1 billion.
Significant increases included $949 million in net OPEB liability, $463 million in revenue bonds
payable, and $392 million in net pension liability.

NOTE 11: 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

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, 2023, included the primary
government and certain discretely presented component units; 1,332 school employers, including charter
schools; and 1,595 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, 2022
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.
123
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, 2023 Actuarial Valuation Report provides
information about the number of employees by type covered within the various PERF plans. Table 14
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, 2023 (measurement date), by rolling forward the total pension liability determined by the
June 30, 2022 actuarial valuation (valuation date), based on the actuarial methods and assumptions
shown in Table 16.
Table 16
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – PERF Plans
Valuation date: June 30, 2022
Actuarial cost method: Entry age normal in accordance with the requirements of GASB 68
Actuarial assumptions:
Discount rate 6.90%
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
125
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 17 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, 2024, the State recognized pension expense of
$11.7 billion. At June 30, 2024, 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, 2023, but prior to
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
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 five 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.
133
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, 2023 actuarial valuation reports for each
single-employer plan provide information about the number of employees by type covered within the
plans. Table 22 shows the number of employees covered by the benefit terms of each of the
single-employer plans as of the most recent valuation.

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.
134
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, 2023 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 23 shows the average active employee and the employer contribution rates for each of the

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: The total pension liability for single-employer plans was
measured as of June 30, 2023 (measurement date), by rolling forward the total pension liability
determined by the June 30, 2022 actuarial valuations (valuation date), based on the actuarial methods
and assumptions shown in Table 24.
Table 24
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – Single-employer Plans

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’ – 3.86%, reflecting the short-term nature of the assets. As the plan is insufficiently funded,
CalPERS uses a discount rate of 3.86%, which falls within a reasonable range of yields on 20-year
tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA.
Judges’II – 6.15%
Legislators’ – 4.85%
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.

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
approximately 1,800 contributing employers, 467,000 active and 240,000 inactive program members,
and 333,000 benefit recipients as of June 30, 2024. The payroll for employees covered by the DB
Program for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $42.6 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 19.10% 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 $3.9 billion for the fiscal year 2023-24. CalSTRS’
June 30, 2022 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, 2023, the CBB Program had 29 contributing
school districts and 42,095 contributing participants.
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
142
Notes to the Financial Statements
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, 2023, 205 individuals were receiving benefits from the RB program.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: The total pension liability in the June 30, 2022 actuarial
valuation (valuation date) was determined using the actuarial methods and assumptions shown in
Table 30, applied to the measurement period ended June 30, 2023.
Table 30
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, 2023 (measurement
date), by applying update procedures and rolling forward the total pension liability determined by the
actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022 (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, 2023, the State’s proportionate share of the CalSTRS’ net pension liability was 32.39%, or
$24.7 billion; this amount is reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide
Statement of Net Position as of June 30, 2024.
144
Notes to the Financial Statements
As a result of its requirement to contribute to CalSTRS, the State recognized expense of $2.9 billion for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, and reported deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources as
shown in Table 32.

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 four trial courts
provide pension benefits to their respective employees through cost-sharing multiple-employer defined
benefit plans.
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 54 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 17 of the 23
county cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit plans, the net pension liability was measured as
of June 30, 2023. Of these plans, five had a valuation date of June 30, 2023, and 12 had a valuation date
of June 30, 2022. For the six remaining county cost-sharing multiple-employer plans, the net pension
liability was measured as of December 31, 2023. Of these plans, three had a valuation date of
December 31, 2022, two had a valuation date of January 1, 2023, and one had a valuation date of
December 31, 2023. For 31 of the CalPERS agent multiple-employer defined benefit plans, the net
pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2023, and valued as of June 30, 2022. One agent
multiple-employer defined benefit plan and three cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit plans
administered by CalPERS did not provide an actuarial valuation for this reporting period.

Actuarial assumptions:
Discount rate 6.90% Rates ranging from 6.42% to 7.25%
Discount Rates: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability of the trial courts that
participate in the agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan was 6.90%. The discount rates
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 $12.9 billion and fiduciary net position of $10.4 billion, which resulted in a net pension
liability of $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2024. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the State recognized
pension expense of $386 million. At June 30, 2024, the State reported deferred outflows of resources of
$1.2 billion and deferred inflows of resources of $293 million. The reported deferred outflows of
resources included $376 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, 2025.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 12: 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.
148
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, 2024 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, 2023 (June 30, 2023 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 2023 monthly State contribution
was $883 for one-party coverage, $1,699 for two-party coverage, and $2,124 for family coverage. For
the year ended June 30, 2023, the State contributed $3.5 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.
150
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2023 (the measurement date), total OPEB liability for each
plan was based on the actuarial methods and assumptions shown in Table 37.
Table 37
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – Retiree Health Benefits Program
Valuation date: June 30, 2023
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 3.86%
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 2024, increasing to 7.00% in 2025, grading
down to 4.50% from 2030 to 2038, and 4.25% for 2039 and later years
Post-Medicare coverage: Actual rates for 2024, increasing to rates ranging from
7.00% to 7.66% in 2025, grading down to 4.50% from 2035 to 2038, and 4.25% for
2039 and later years
Dental coverage: 0.23% for 2024, 2.00% for 2025, 3.00% for 2026, 4.00% for 2027,
and 4.25% for 2028 and later years
Mortality Derived using CalPERS’ membership data for all members
Other demographic assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 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 2022 Experience Review performed by Gabriel, Roeder,
Smith and Company (GRS) for the period from 2018 to 2022. 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
2022 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
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.

Discount Rates: The blended rates used to measure the June 30, 2023 total OPEB liability consist of the
20-year Municipal G.O. Bond AA Index rate of 3.86% as of June 30, 2023, 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 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, 2023, on the State Controller’s Office website, at www.sco.ca.gov.
Blended rates for the June 30, 2024 valuation will be determined using the Fidelity Index 20-year
Municipal G.O. Bond AA Index rate of 3.97% when prefunding assets are not available to pay benefits.

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 12 trial courts participate in single-employer defined benefit OPEB
plans. Three trial courts (Fresno, Mendocino, 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, 2023 (measurement date), and the remaining 53
valuations had a measurement date of June 30, 2023. One of the courts had an actuarial valuation date of
December 31, 2023, and 54 courts were valued as of June 30, 2023.

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, 2023 total
OPEB liability consist of the 20-year Municipal G.O. Bond AA Index rate of 3.86% as of June 30, 2023,
when prefunding assets are not available to pay benefits, and full funding discount rates ranging from
4.25% to 7.00% when prefunding assets are available to pay benefits. Single rates range from 3.86% 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 $335 million, which resulted in a net OPEB liability of
$1.5 billion as of June 30, 2024, reported in governmental activities. For the year ended June 30, 2024,
the State recognized OPEB expense of $37 million. At June 30, 2024, the State reported deferred
outflows of resources of $275 million and deferred inflows of resources of $508 million. Deferred
outflows of resources included $84 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, 2025.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 13: 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, 2024, 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, 2024, the general obligation commercial paper program had
$1.0 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, 2024, the enterprise fund commercial paper
program had $485 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, 2024, $172 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 14: LEASES AND SUBSCRIPTION-BASED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
ARRANGEMENTS
The State leases land, buildings, equipment, and other assets as a lessee under a variety of
noncancellable long-term lease agreements. The State also has noncancellable subscription-based
information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for the right to use information technology software. As
of June 30, 2024, the primary government had a lease liability of $2.8 billion and a subscription liability
of $123 million for governmental activities. For business-type activities, the lease liability was
$526 million, and the subscription liability was $55 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 2.63% to
3.26%, depending on the duration of the lease or subscription term at the inception of each lease or
SBITA agreement during the 2023-24 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.

NOTE 15: COMMITMENTS
As of June 30, 2024, the primary government had commitments of $10.3 billion for certain highway
construction projects. These commitments are not included as a liability in the Federal Fund or the
Transportation Fund because future expenditures related to these commitments will be reimbursed with
$8.6 billion from proceeds of approved federal grants and $1.7 billion from local governments. The
primary government also had other commitments for which the future expenditures will be reimbursed
by the proceeds of approved federal grants of $5.1 billion for various education programs, $3.5 billion
for housing and community development programs, $837 million for terrorism prevention and
disaster-preparedness response projects, $495 million for services provided under various public health

for water resources programs.
The primary government had other commitments, totaling $37.4 billion, that are not included as a
liability on the Balance Sheet or the Statement of Net Position. The $37.4 billion in commitments
includes grant agreements totaling approximately $28.8 billion to reimburse other entities for
construction projects for school building aid, parks, transportation-related infrastructure, housing, and
other improvements; and to reimburse counties and cities for costs associated with various programs.
Any assets that have been constructed will not belong to the primary government, whose payments are
contingent upon the other entities entering into construction contracts. The $37.4 billion in commitments
includes $2.5 billion in undisbursed loan commitments to qualified agencies for clean water projects and
$2.8 billion in undisbursed loan commitments for various programs aimed at providing housing and
emergency shelter to persons in need.
The $37.4 billion in commitments also includes contracts of $790 million for the construction of water
projects and the purchase and transmission of power that are not included as a liability on the Statement
of Net Position of the Water Resources Fund. Included in this amount are certain power purchase, sale,
and exchange contracts. The primary government had commitments of $968 million for CSU
construction projects. In addition, CSU participates in forward-purchase contracts of electricity. As of

fixed prices an estimated total of $25 million in electricity through December 2025. The California State
Lottery Commission had commitments of $1.5 billion for gaming and telecommunication systems and
services. The primary government also had commitments of $41 million to veterans for the purchase of
properties under contracts of sale. These are long-term projects, and all of the contracts’ needs may not
have been defined. The projects will be funded with existing and future program resources or with the
proceeds of revenue and general obligation bonds.
As of June 30, 2024, the primary government encumbered expenditures of $13.6 billion for the
General Fund, $4.1 billion for the Environmental and Natural Resources Fund, and $6.5 billion for the

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 16: 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, 2024, the State had $71.7 billion in outstanding general obligation bonds related to
governmental activities and $634 million related to business-type activities. In addition, $28.1 billion in
long-term general obligation bonds had been authorized but not issued, of which $27.3 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 $7.0 billion
authorized by the applicable finance committees for issuance in the form of commercial paper notes or
bonds. In addition, the State had $1.0 billion in general obligation indebtedness in the form of
commercial paper notes that had been issued but not yet retired by long-term bonds as of June 30, 2024.
A. Variable-rate General Obligation Bonds
The State issues both fixed and variable-rate general obligation bonds. As of June 30, 2024, the State
had $669 million in variable-rate general obligation bonds outstanding, consisting of $182 million in
daily-rate bonds with credit enhancement, and $487 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
170
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 2023-24 fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2024, the letters of credit for the Series 2003 variable-rate bonds had expiration dates of
December 16, 2024; August 25, 2025; and May 10, 2028. The letter of credit for the Series 2004
variable-rate bonds had an expiration date of December 29, 2025. The letters of credit for the Series
2005 variable-rate bonds had 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 2023-24 fiscal year.
B. Build America Bonds
As of June 30, 2024, 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 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, 2031. 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.

D. General Obligation Bond Defeasances
1. Current Year Activity
On September 14, 2023, the primary government issued $1.5 billion in general obligation bonds to
current refund $1.6 billion of outstanding fixed rate general obligation bonds with principal redemptions
scheduled in the fiscal years ended 2025 to 2033, 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 $159 million and resulted in an economic gain of
$118 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 3.71% per year
over the life of the new bonds.
On November 15, 2023, the primary government issued $682 million in general obligation bonds to
current refund $741 million of outstanding fixed rate general obligation bonds with principal
redemptions scheduled in the fiscal years ended 2025 to 2034. 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 $90 million and resulted in an economic gain of
$71 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 3.27% per year
over the life of the new bonds.
172
Notes to the Financial Statements
On April 4, 2024, the primary government issued $1.3 billion in general obligation bonds to current
refund $1.4 billion of outstanding fixed rate general obligation bonds with principal redemptions
scheduled in the fiscal years ended 2025 to 2026, 2028 to 2038, 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 $252 million and resulted in an economic
gain of $178 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 3.16%
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, 2024, there are
$1.4 billion in outstanding defeased general obligation bonds.
NOTE 17: 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. All the principal and interest remaining on the bonds were fully paid during
the fiscal year 2023-24.
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
$2.2 billion, payable through 2041. Interest paid in the current year totaled $58 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
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 $9.0 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 $398 million, while Tobacco
173
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Settlement Revenue and interest earned totaled $392 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, 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. 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
$12.2 billion, payable through 2049. 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 2023-24, which may be found on its website at www.ucop.edu.
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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate
(SOFR) 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 2023-24,

D. Revenue Bond Defeasances
1. Current Year – Governmental Activities
During the 2023-24 fiscal year, the SPWB issued $640 million in lease revenue refunding bonds. The
bond proceeds were used to refund $704 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 $73 million and resulted in an economic gain of
$54 million. The lease revenue bonds are reported in the Public Buildings Construction Fund, an internal
service fund.
2. 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, 2024, the outstanding balance of defeased revenue bonds were $2.5 billion
for governmental activities and $490 million for business-type activities.
176
Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 18: 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
$6.3 billion as of June 30, 2024. 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 $8.8 billion is
discounted to $6.3 billion using a 3.5% interest rate. Of the total discounted liability, $635 million is a
current liability, of which $477 million is included in the General Fund, $155 million in the special
revenue funds, and $4 million in the internal service funds. The remaining $5.7 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 51, 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 $1.9 billion of interfund loans. There
is an additional $34 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 $4.3 billion to the California State
University, an enterprise fund. The General Fund also transferred $4.8 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 $390 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, 2024, the
value of restricted endowments and gifts totaled $29.5 billion, and unrestricted endowments and gifts
totaled $11.8 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 $3.9 billion at
June 30, 2024. 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 College of the Law,
San Francisco, nonmajor component units, have restricted nonexpendable and restricted expendable
endowments of $2.0 billion and $22 million, respectively.

State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
NOTE 21: 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, 2024, CalHFA had $6.2 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.
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, 2024, the
nonmajor component units had approximately $5.2 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 22: 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, 2024; those in progress as of June 30, 2024, and settled or decided against the primary
government as of September 5, 2025; and those having a high probability of resulting in a decision
against the primary government as of September 5, 2025, 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.
188
Notes to the Financial Statements
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. In December 2022, the district court ruled in the State’s favor on its motion for summary
judgement and entered final judgement on behalf of the State, including a permanent injunction
preventing DOL from relying on PEPRA as a basis not to certify grants. The plaintiff and DOL appealed
to the Ninth Circuit court and 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 application. There was no settlement
or monetary judgment against the State for this case; however, on March 31, 2025, DOL issued a letter
returning to the position that it took in 2019, that PEPRA does not disqualify California transit agencies
from receiving federal grants. This may result in the filing of new litigation upon the approval
certification for a specific grant application.
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 23: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The following information describes significant events that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024, but
prior to the date of the auditor’s report.
A. Debt Issuances
In August 2024 and July 2025, the California State University (CSU) issued $2.4 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 July 2024, and January and March 2025, 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 August and October 2024, and March and April 2025, the primary government issued a total of
$7.7 billion in General Obligation bonds to fund various capital projects related to TK-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 2024, and April 2025, the State Public Works Board issued a total of
$1.8 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 July 2024, the California Earthquake Authority issued $250 million in revenue bonds to enhance its
claim-paying capacity.
In October 2024 and March 2025, the primary government issued a total of $380 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 fund deferred
payment assistant loans for the closing costs of the residential property.
In March 2025, the State of California Department of Water Resources issued $329 million in Revenue
Bonds. The proceeds from this issuance will support infrastructure and capital investments in the State
Water Project.

Notes to the Financial Statements
B. Other
California has experienced significant wildfire activity in 2024, with approximately 8,110 fires and
1.1 million acres burned. As of September 2025, there have been 6,844 fires and 517,341 acres burned.
The enacted 2025-26 Budget Act includes $181 million from the voter-approved $10.0 billion Climate
Bond (Proposition 4) for wildfire and forest resilience and shifts $1.0 billion from the General Fund to
the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to support CAL FIRE operations. In addition, the Budget provides
$39 million General Fund in 2025-26 to begin transitioning seasonal firefighter positions to permanent
status, strengthening California’s wildfire response capacity.
California continues to experience large swings between drought and flood conditions; these swings are
becoming more severe due to climate change. The 2025-26 Budget Act commits to developing an
expenditure plan with the Legislature to allocate funding from the $10.0 billion Climate Bond
(Proposition 4) for drought, flood, and water resilience projects, ensuring long-term investments to
strengthen the state’s capacity to endure these climate extremes.
In response to the federally declared disaster resulting from the wildfires and straight-line winds that
began on January 7, 2025, in Los Angeles County, the federal government extended the 2024 tax
payment and filing deadlines for impacted individuals and businesses from April 15, 2025, to
October 15, 2025. The California Franchise Tax Board followed suit by extending the State’s tax filing
deadlines to the same dates. This extension will impact revenues available to the State during the
2024-25 and 2025-26 fiscal years.
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 on low-wage earners. Funds from the
SFRF have been used to address public health impacts, address negative economic impacts, invest in
broadband infrastructure projects, and replace lost state revenue. As of December 31, 2024, California
has fully expended its $27.0 billion allocation from the SFRF.
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 28, 2024, the State had $19.1 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 $1.8 billion after the fiscal
year to a balance of approximately $20.9 billion as of September 3, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the federal government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law No:
119-21), which impacts the federal Medicaid program and potentially impacts state and county health
and social services programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
According to the Governor’s Office, the new law could put 3.4 million Californians at risk of losing
their health insurance coverage due to the proposed Medicaid changes, which could result in an
estimated $24.7 billion in annual federal funding reductions for California. The Governor’s Office also
stated that anticipated cuts to federal funding of up to $4.0 billion annually for SNAP could eliminate
essential food assistance to hundreds of thousands of Californians. According to the State’s Schedule of
Expenditures of Federal Awards for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, California received
191
State of California Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
$13.8 billion for SNAP and $92.0 billion for Medicaid. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023,
California received $18.4 billion for SNAP and $87.5 billion for Medicaid.
In August 2025, 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, 2024, which will be used to
measure the State’s net Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability as of June 30, 2025. Based on
the Actuarial Valuation Report, the State will report a net OPEB liability as of June 30, 2025, of
$91.5 billion, an increase of $6.3 billion from the net OPEB liability reported as of June 30, 2024. 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 TK-12 public schools (including charter schools) and Local Community
Colleges. 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
intended to reduce climate risks and impacts. The projects include those related to 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; development of clean energy infrastructure; and improvement of farms 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 (MCO) Provider Tax
(“health plan tax”), which was set to expire in 2026. This tax provides revenues to fund health
care services under the Medi-Cal program, including primary and specialty care, emergency care,
family planning, mental health, and prescription drugs. 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.

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, 2024, are in the following categories and amounts: state highway infrastructure, consisting of
completed highway projects totaling $85.2 billion; land purchased for highway projects totaling
$15.3 billion; infrastructure construction-in-progress (uncompleted highway projects) totaling
$10.5 billion; and high-speed rail system infrastructure, consist of construction work-in-progress
(uncompleted construction projects) totaling $7.8 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, 2024, there were no donations of
infrastructure land, and relinquishments were $35 million of state highway infrastructure (completed
highway projects) and $7 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/tunnels 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’ 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 2023-24 is to have at least 90% of the State’s
bridge deck area in fair or better condition.
237
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
2022 90.0% Fair or Better 94.1% Fair or Better
2023 90.0% Fair or Better 93.7% Fair or Better
2024 90.0% Fair or Better 94.0% 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 actual condition of the State’s bridges as of June 30, 2024:
Number of
Condition Bridges/Tunnels Deck Area (sq. ft.) Deck Area (%)
Good 6,388 110,942,776 43.05 %
Fair 5,769 131,264,291 50.93
Poor 524 15,522,868 6.02
Total 12,681 257,729,935 100.00 %
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.
238
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 are being reported in the latest 2022
State of the Pavement Report with the publication date of September 2024.
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, for which 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
244
Required Supplementary Information
includes statements that demonstrate compliance with the legal level of budgetary control in accordance
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 at https://sco.ca.gov/ard_state_acfr_sup.html.
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.
Basis Difference
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 $3.4 billion in the General Fund, and $253 million in the Environmental and Natural
Resources Fund. The adjustments related to loans receivable caused increases of $106 million in the
General Fund, $437 million in the Federal Fund, and $930 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 $4.0 billion in the General Fund, $593 million in the
Environmental and Natural Resources 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 $1.6 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 an increase of $4.7 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
$30.1 billion in the General Fund and $2.0 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 an increase of $14.3 billion in the General Fund,
a decrease of $8.0 billion in the Federal Fund, and a decrease of $796 million in the Environmental and
Natural Resources Fund.
245
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
$3.2 billion in the General Fund, $10.1 billion in the Federal Fund, and $4 million in the Environmental
and Natural Resources Fund. The large decrease in the General Fund primarily consists of $2.3 billion
for medical assistance and $477 million for workers’ compensation claims. The large decrease in the
Federal Fund consists of $8.4 billion for unemployment programs and $1.7 billion for coronavirus relief.

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, the Environmental and Natural Resources 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, and Environmental and Natural Resources 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 3 – 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.

Pension and Other Employee Benefit Trust Funds
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)
285
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, with the exclusion of eligible Roth 457 contributions and earnings, which
are protected from income tax during distribution.
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.

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 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.
3 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.
4 Prior-year adjustments recorded in the current year have not been reflected in the prior-year columns due to the complexity and quantity of adjustments to
various accounts. Refer to Note 2 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections for details of current year adjustments.

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.
