Proposition 63 provides state funding for certain new or expanded mental health programs through a personal income tax surcharge of 1 percent on the portion of a taxpayer’s taxable income in excess of $1 million. This measure allows for the temporary redirection of some Proposition 63 funds—specifically, $226.7 million in 2009‑10, and between $226.7 million and $234 million in 2010‑11. In effect, these Proposition 63 revenues would be used to offset state costs that would otherwise be borne by the General Fund, thereby achieving savings to help address the state’s current budgetary problem.
