The Sacramento Bee has more details on the budget deal reached:
Legislators ultimately agreed Thursday to tighten the rainy-day fund so that it can be tapped only during bad economic times, a concession from Democrats who wanted greater ability to access the money.
Lawmakers also proposed making up the lost $1.5 billion revenue by increasing penalties on corporations that underpay taxes. Leaders agreed to lower the amount of the state’s reserve fund from $1.2 billion to $800 million.
Under the latest budget plan, corporations that underpay their taxes by $1 million or more would see penalties rise from 10 percent to 20 percent. The deal also assumes a cancellation of a proposed tax amnesty program.
