• Introduced by Rep. Marc Shulman (R) on February 11, 2004, to provide a "template" or "place holder" for a Fiscal Year 2004-2005 judiciary budget. This bill contains no appropriations, but may be amended at a later date to include them.

  • Substitute offered in the House on March 30, 2004, to replace the executive proposal for this budget, contained in House Bill 5610 , with a budget that expresses policy differences between the Republican-majority in the House and Governor Jennifer Granholm on certain spending items and funding sources. See House-passed version for major features, and House Fiscal Agency analysis for detailed analysis (the “Text and Analysis” at the top of this bill’s MichiganVotes.org page is a link to this).

• Passed in the House (92 to 0) on March 30, 2004, the House version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2004-2005 judiciary budget. (Note: Gov.

Of this, $158.0 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2003-2004 amount of $161.3 million. href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-HB-311">House Bill 311 .) The House version authorizes approximately $200,000 more in gross spending than the governor recommended.
