2009 Senate Bill 831 / Public Act 104

Authorize one-month “continuation” budget

Introduced in the Senate

Sept. 17, 2009

Introduced by Sen. Ron Jelinek (R-21)

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 Committee on Appropriations

Sept. 25, 2009

Substitute offered

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

Passed in the Senate 21 to 16 (details)

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).
