The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is implementing a hard freeze on spending as a temporary step to address a significant anticipated fiscal shortfall. The following areas are immediately frozen:
• Hiring
• Training
• Travel
• Contracts for discretionary services
• Purchases
• Overtime for Administration
“The hard freeze will remain in effect until such time as the Department is able to prioritize and then establish a system for authorizing expenditures.”
