2009 House Bill 5405 / 2010 Public Act 40

Appropriations: Supplemental budget

Introduced in the House

Sept. 17, 2009

Introduced by Rep. George Cushingberry (D-8)

To provide a template or "place holder" for a potential supplemental school aid appropriation for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. Note: This would accommodate proposals to adopt a budget that includes no taxes before the fiscal year begins, while then passing tax hikes and supplemental budgets to spend them afterwards.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations

March 10, 2010

Reported without amendment

With the recommendation that the substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.

March 11, 2010

Substitute offered

To adopt a version of the bill that contains actual appropriations. See House-passed version for details.

The substitute passed by voice vote

Passed in the House 105 to 0

To appropriate $7.3 million of federal "stimulus" money for various "green" jobs programs, and $2 million for other programs. On the day the education reforms enacted last year were deemed insufficient to make Michigan eligible for $400 million in federal "Race to the Top" grants, a House committee stripped out $25 million from an earlier version of the bill that would create a teacher performance accountability database.
