How long is the California State Budget overdue on average?
It’s generally about 6-7 weeks overdue. The California State Budget is required to be signed and enacted into law as of midnight June 30 of each year. However, the State Budget is on average not passed by the legislature, nor signed by the Governor, until mid-late August. California utilizes a yearly budget as it operates a full-time legislature. An interesting fact though is how the legislators leave the State Budget incomplete as they adjourn from about mid-July until mid-August to return to their districts before returning to the Capitol to complete the budget.
