House Bill 5599 (Authorize county 9-1-1 fee "fund raid" ) Passed in the House (63 to 44) on September 14, 2010, to take $7 million each year in the next two fiscal years from telephone tax money levied to pay for 9-1-1 emergency phone service infrastructure, and use it instead to displace state general fund money in the State Police budget, thus avoiding the need to cut or reform other state spending. The infrastructure this phone tax was intended to create was completed several years ago and the tax was supposed to end, but was extended through 2014 in 2008. The fund this money goes into was previously "raided" in 2004, and again 2006. http://www.michiganvotes.org/RollCall.aspx?ID=507831 House Bill 5885 (Appropriations: 2010-2011 Department of Military and Veterans Affairs budget ) Passed in the Senate (36 to 1) on September 15, 2010, the House-Senate conference report for the 2010-2011 Department of Military and Veterans Affairs budget.
