California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe
Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002
(Proposition 40)
|
In the
primary election of March 2002, voters passed Prop 40, a $2.6
billion bond act that provided funds for a variety of programs
related to water quality, coastal resources, and
historical/cultural programs. The information below is not
intended to be a complete summary of Prop 40 funding that is
or could be available. Our analysis only highlights what is
available funding for water quality and coastal resources.
For FY
02-03, funding from Prop 40 was appropriated through
legislation and the budget process. The FY 03-04 budget,
proposed in early January by Governor Davis, would appropriate
additional Prop 40 funds. We will update this information as
legislation seeking to appropriate Prop 40 funds is introduced
this session.
