Update on Federal Matching and Maintenance of Effort Requirements for California

Concern was expressed by the California congressional delegation as to the effect of Proposition 9 on the State's future ability to meet matching and maintenance of effort requirements for many federal grant programs. If this ballot initiative is passed, the California State income tax would be cut by 50 percent. The congressional delegation requested an updated version of the table on matching and maintenance of effort requirements included in an earlier GAO report and information on the amount of federal funds which flow into California under large programs with matching and maintenance of effort requirements.
