CA State Budget Revisions
On May 14 th , Governor Newsom released his revisions to the $203 billion state budget that fills a $54 billion gap caused by the coronavirus induced economic downturn. The revised budget includes cuts to many state programs including a 10% cut to state employee salaries.

The budget uses $16 billion from the rainy day fund and transfers special funds to the general fund. It also limits the amount of tax credits a taxpayer can use in a year. It reduces travel for state employees and increases fees to some boards and bureaus including the Bureau for Private and Post-secondary Education. Below is the link to Governor’s proposed May revisions.

The ADA Checklist: 2019 - 2020 Compliance Guidelines to Make Your Website Accessible
ADA website compliance and web accessibility are two terms that are used interchangeably but they are distinct from one another.

ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. Courts are construing Title III of the ADA to mean that websites must be accessible. Thus, with ADA website compliance, we're referring to the law.
