2016-17 State Budget Raises Concerns for Small BusinessHistoric $122.2 billion budget ignores impending economic downturn

SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 15, 2016 – Following the passage of the 2016-17 state budget, NFIB California State Executive Director Tom Scott issued the following statement:
“Small businesses will be the first to tell you this state is on the verge of an economic downturn. Add the pressures of a $15 minimum wage, paid sick leave mandates, and mounting environmental regulations, small businesses are at a two-year low in terms of optimism for growing and expanding their business. This is why we raise great concerns with the state budget passed today. The California State Controller herself has reported that tax revenues are already below expectations—we know this trend will continue as small businesses are not able to hire or expand in this state. Now is the time for fiscal restraint and to double-down on our deposit to the rainy day fund.”
“We are further concerned by the hidden vehicle license fee increase slipped into a budget trailer bill which will cost families and small business owners $1.7 billion over the next five years.”
