Early Monday morning, Newsom’s office announced the plan would include $600 stimulus checks for two-thirds of Californians, and an additional $500 for families with children. His office didn’t specify which Californians would qualify for the checks.

The stimulus plan will be a big chunk of a revised state budget proposal from his office, which is due by the end of the week. He plans to announce new parts of the budget plan every day this week, spokeswoman Erin Mellon said.
