The budget bill junior (AB & SB 113), which includes the funding for our 2026 raises, was voted on by both the California Assembly and the Senate today, and passed through both houses of the legislature! Now it’s headed to Governor Newsom’s desk. 

The bill includes funding for our Special Salary Adjustments that are retroactive to July 1, 2026. Once the Governor signs, CalHR has to issue a Pay Letter, which will set in motion the pay out of these raises, and the backpay through the State Controller’s Office.

The funding for our 2026 raises have been included in budget trailer bill AB & SB 113. This is a direct result of CAPS-UAW members showing up and being united in our fight to defend our contract. Over the last 4 days alone, hundreds of CAPS-UAW members throughout the State rallied, called, emailed, and visited their representatives in the legislature urging them to support the funding of our 2026 raises in a budget trailer bill.

The budget trailer bill will be voted on by members of the legislature before midnight Tuesday, September 1. Once it passes through the legislature, it will head to the Governors desk. Governor Newsom has until Wednesday, September 30 to take action on the bill.

This afternoon, AB 1729 The telework bill passed the Senate and is on to Governor Newsom's desk where he has until September 30 to sign, veto, or not sign (which would allow the bill to take effect)!

We're continuing calls and rallies to encourage support for a trailer bill that would reinstate our raises that were omitted from the state's budget last month. We are hopeful our elected officials will support what's right and honor our contract!
