Proposal impacts
Impact on State audit employees
Audit assignments would require staff to review programs funded by new taxes every four years.
Audit assignments today include financial and performance reviews under a plan subject to available resources.
Impact on California taxpayers
State tax spending would pay for audits of rejected tax proposals.
State tax spending today covers the auditor’s existing financial and performance work, subject to available resources.
Impact on California patients
Health care funding could lose the proposed wealth tax if both measures pass. That requires more yes votes here and a court finding a conflict.
Health care funding today includes an existing tax on health plans. Continuing that tax remains subject to federal approval.
Impact on Tax-funded health executives
Program reviews would subject the health programs they manage to audits every four years.
Program reviews today follow each tax’s rules. Tobacco tax proceeds already have their own audit requirement.
