- Introduced by Sen. Ron Jelinek (R) on September 17, 2009, to appropriate $3.062 billion for all state operations for one-month as an “interim” state budget, in the event legislators are not able to resolve a large gap between how much they would like to spend and how much taxes, fees, and borrowed money they expect the state to take in during the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1, 2009.
- Referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee on September 17, 2009.
- Substitute offered in the Senate on September 25, 2009, to replace the previous version of the bill with one that revises the amount, as described in the Senate-passed version. The substitute passed by voice vote in the Senate on September 25, 2009.
- Passed 21 to 16 in the Senate on September 25, 2009, to appropriate $2.890 billion for all state operations for one-month as an “interim” state budget, in the event legislators are not able to resolve a large gap between how much they would like to spend and how much taxes, fees, and borrowed money they expect the state to take in during the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1, 2009. The amount is 1/12 the target amount agreed to by the House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader, which includes no money from potential tax increases, but does use federal "stimulus" money (as do all budget proposals for this fiscal year).

- Passed 88 to 18 in the House on September 30, 2009, to appropriate $2.890 billion for all state operations for one-month as an “interim” state budget, in the event legislators are not able to resolve a large gap between how much they would like to spend and how much taxes, fees, and borrowed money they expect the state to take in during the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1, 2009. The amount is 1/12 the target amount agreed to by the House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader, which includes no money from potential tax increases, but does use federal "stimulus" money (as do all budget proposals for this fiscal year).

1) Re: 2009 Senate Bill 831 (Authorize one-month “continuation” budget ) by freedomforcerb on October 4, 2009inform4, We as citizens of this once great State of Michigan need to pass the message along to friends, family, and even strangers to get the point across. Our State and Country are heading in the wrong direction and WE THE PEOPLE need to stand up to right it! If enough of us voters send a clear message at the polls by voting out all incumbents maybe just maybe our newly elected Representatives will heed the message of the people and give us the representation we elected them to do, not what the special interest and lobbyist want.

I totally agree with you, freedomforcerb. We need "Statesmen/women" not lobbyist-lovers who ignore the circumstances that bloated government have placed the taxpayers under. We also need part-time legislatures (they don't work full-time anyway). Isn't it strange how many professed that they supported a part-time legislature when running for office, but changed their tune once they garnered their seat?

It's too bad the citizens of Mi. don't pay more attention to what goes on in Lansing. Our legislators are very well paid and have full time positions yet they can't settle the budget. Clearly, many of them should be throw out of office.
