• Provides more than $225 million in flexible funding for mental health programs.

What a Yes or No Vote Means

A “YES” vote on this measure means: A portion of funds previously approved by the voters under Proposition 63 to support the expansion of community mental health programs will be redirected over the next two years to achieve state General Fund savings.

A “NO” vote on this measure means: All Proposition 63 funds would continue to be used to support the expansion of community mental health programs. Other budget reductions or revenue increases would be needed to address the state’s fiscal problems.
