To make supplemental appropriations, fund source transfers, and other changes necessary to carry out the provisions of a Fiscal Year 2002-2003 budget-balancing executive order adopted on Dec. 5, 2002. These are in addition to the appropriations listed in the description of the House-passed version of the bill, which remain with minor modifications. Among other things, the substitute appropriates $11 million from the Merit Scholarship Trust Fund (tobacco lawsuit money) to state colleges and universities, reducing their share of the executive order reductions from 2.5 percent to 2 percent. It also cuts 2.5 percent from the legislature and judiciary branch budgets, and authorizes $23.1 million from the Natural Resources Trust Fund for a number of projects including the Kamehameha trust and tip of the Keewenaw land acquisitions in the Upper Peninsula. $19 million is appropriated for a new Lansing Readiness Center, which makes possible the planned construction of a new combined State Police and Department of Military Affairs on a smaller parcel in downtown Lansing.
