Governor of the State of California
WHEREAS, the State General Fund is facing a significant imbalance between
revenues and expenditures; and
WHEREAS, state government has an obligation to safeguard the trust of the
people of the State of California; and
WHEREAS, it is vital to the economic health and prosperity of California
that state government be conducted in the most business-like and economical
manner, and that the people of this State be assured that their tax dollars
be spent wisely; and
WHEREAS, additional action must be taken to assure that the State lives
within its means.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, Governor of the State of
California, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the
Constitution and statutes of the State of California, do hereby issue this
order to become effective immediately:
1. State agencies and departments shall not enter into any new contracts or
agreements to lease or purchase equipment, except as may be determined by
the Director of Finance to be in the best interest of the State.
2. State agencies and departments shall not enter into any new services
contract, or make any changes to an existing contract that would increase
the amount or extend the term of such a contract, except as may be
determined by the Director of Finance to be in the best interest of the
State. Provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph 2 shall not
apply to any contract for legal services or for expert testimony in pending
litigation.
3. State agencies and departments shall cancel or postpone any non-essential
trips such as seminars, conferences or training.
4. Where permissible by law and regulations, all state agencies and
departments are ordered to disencumber non-essential contracts or purchase
agreements funded from the General Fund, where goods and services have not
been received, and to cancel the related contracts.
5. Agency secretaries and other cabinet-level positions will be responsible
for ensuring compliance with the provisions of this Executive Order. For
those departments that do not have cabinet-level representation, the
Department of Finance will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the
provisions of this Executive Order.

and judicial branches of government, nor shall it apply to the
constitutional officers of this State. However, I invite these branches of
government and the constitutional officers to participate.
7. For the purposes of this order, the University of California and the
California State University system are requested to consult with the
Department of Finance for the purpose of determining the appropriate level
of savings in the current year, to implement the provisions of this
Executive Order. Participation, however, should be limited to a level that
will not interfere with meeting their educational mission.

implementation of this Executive Order and may issue management memos and
grant exemptions from its provisions, as appropriate.
