CA SB1432

Continuously appropriates $25,000,000 annually from the General Fund to the Arts Council for grants supporting arts and California's creative economy

Restores Arts Council funding to its 1983 inflation-adjusted level, as the council's budget declined from nearly $29 million in 2000-01 to $1 million in subsequent fiscal years

California currently ranks last among the 50 states and six territories in per capita arts spending at $0.03 per person, compared to $0.46 per person in 1983

Legislative findings indicate that every $1 in state arts support generates $7 in earned and contributed revenue and returns more than $3 in taxes to state and local government entities
