Introduced
by
To provide a "template" or "place holder" for a potential supplemental multidepartment appropriation (or cut) for Fiscal Year 2006-2007. This bill contains no appropriations, but may be amended at a later date to include some. This is related to closing a gap between spending that has already been appropriated and expected revenue for the year.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that proposes a budget that contains actual appropriations, which are some $574 million less than the amounts proposed by the House and Gov. Granholm.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Passed in the Senate 20 to 18 (details)
To adopt an omnibus Fiscal Year 2007-2008 budget that authorizes spending $574 million less from the state general fund than the amount proposed by the House and Gov. Granholm. (Details are presented in a House Fiscal Agency <a href="http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2007-2008/billanalysis/Senate/htm/2007-SFA-0511-U.htm">analysis</a>). Among other things the bill holds higher education spending at the same level as the current year (rather than the $43 million, 2.5 percent hike proposed by the governor and approved by the House). This bill and the K-12 budget contained in <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-SB-237">Senate Bill 237</a> represent approximately $900 million less spending than proposed by the House and Gov. Granholm. This occurs in the context of a major tax hikes vs. spending cuts budget battle.
Motion
by
That the bill be placed on the order of Third Reading of Bills. The defeat of this procedural step was to allow the House to create a counter-proposal to the Senate-passed version. This occurs in the context of a tax hikes vs. spending cuts budget battle.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Substitute offered
by
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that uses the bill as a "vehicle" to revise provisions of the Fiscal Year 2007-2008 <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-SB-232">Department of Human Services budget</a> passed on Oct. 30.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 59 to 49 (details)
To strike from the Fiscal Year 2007-2008 <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-SB-232">Department of Human Services budget</a> passed on Oct. 30 provisions that would enable a greater amount of state foster care and adoption services to be transferred to private social service agencies than the current language allows. The Senate had wanted to transfer more of these functions to private entities, but compromised on a lesser amount. The revised version of this bill is only a "vehicle" that “corrects” the final version of the budget to reflect the understanding of the parties at the time.
Substitute offered
by
To replace the previous version of the bill and instead use it as a "vehicle" for a Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-2008 supplemental spending appropriation bill. See Senate-passed version for more details, and also <a href="http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2007-2008/billanalysis/Senate/htm/2007-SFA-0511-U.htm">analysis</a> from the non-partisan Senate Fiscal Agency.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To provide spending authorization for some $1 billion in construction projects at state universities and colleges and $100 million in state building and facility projects, as proposed by Gov. Granholm. This would not be an actual appropriation, but just a "go ahead" approval for future spending on specific projects listed in the bill.
The amendment failed 17 to 19 (details)
Passed in the Senate 36 to 0 (details)
The Senate version of a Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-2008 supplemental spending appropriation bill. This would appropriate $280.1 million in gross spending.

Passed in the House 58 to 46 (details)
The House version of a Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-2008 supplemental spending appropriation bill. In addition to the airport improvement, military base project and conservation projects paid for mostly with federal or state restricted fund money, this version contains spending authorization for some $1 billion in construction projects at state universities and colleges, and $100 million in state building and facility projects. Money for this would require state borrowing and increasing the state debt limit.
Motion
by
That the rule be suspended. This is parliamentary maneuvering aimed at re-inserting more than $1 billion in borrowing and spending authorized by the House for state government and university construction projects.

Failed in the House 36 to 72 (details)
To concur with the Senate-passed version of the bill, which contains just the (mostly) federal airport money. However, the House did pass <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-HB-5221">House Bill 5221</a> with just the airport money, concluding what press reports called "a game of chicken" in which the House tried to attach extra spending authorizations to the federal money, which must be accepted soon or foregone.
