Yes, the state has two "rainy day" funds: The Budget Stabilization Account (BSA) for the general fund and a separate reserve fund for Proposition 98 (i.e. school funding). The BSA currently has roughly $21B[0] and the Prop. 98 Reserve is over $8.5B[1]. However, due to "the significant downward revenue adjustment to 2022‑23", the state will actually continue contributions to, not make withdrawals from, the BSA[0].
