Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill stems from a Valencian demand: reform the outdated regional funding system and compensate the accumulated deficit, which according to the Sindicatura de Comptes exceeds €40 billion.
  2. The bill would update the system: references to the year 2007 would become references to 2019, references to 2009 would become 2022, and adjusted population would be replaced by registered population (Población de derecho Registered population of a territory, with no adjustments for age or other variables.).
  3. It would add extra resources in 2023: €1,200 million distributed according to people recognized as dependents, and €19,854 million according to each community's registered population. It also guarantees that in the 2025 settlement these resources will be 30% higher than those incorporated in 2022.
  4. It would reshape the Fund for Guaranteeing Fundamental Public Services so every community receives the same resources per inhabitant, abolish the Global Sufficiency Fund and other funds, create a Transitional Compensation Fund so no community loses funding, and compensate the debt caused by funding deficits since 2001.
