California State Budget 2021
The California legislature approved a $263 billion budget proposal Monday that is now sitting on Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk.
While negotiations were over homelessness, transportation, and education, most of the small business pieces were not up for negotiation. Some of the budget pieces that will benefit our sector and your clients include:
- $1.5 Billion added to the COVID-19 Relief Grant Program.
- $2 billion in Unemployment Insurance tax credits.
- $150 million for the California Venues Grant Program.
- A $50 million one-time allocation for micro-business relief, plus $35 million to support microgrants up to $10,000.
- $5.4 million for technical assistance for Underserved Farmers.
