  • Specifies four distinct warning paragraphs the Legislative Analyst may add, depending on whether the measure permanently dedicates state funding, allows legislative reallocation, or creates a budget formula lock.

  • Exempts measures from the required warning paragraph if revenues are deposited without restriction into the General Fund at a future date after enactment or if the Legislature can reallocate the revenues.

  • Allows the Legislative Analyst to create a custom warning paragraph in similar form if none of the four specified paragraphs apply to the measure's funding effects.
