To replace the current fixed license fees on number of licensed professions with new fees to be determined by the legislature in annual budget bills. Under the bill, individuals required to maintain these licenses would not know how much new or renewed license fees would be until an annual appropriations bill was passed with the new amounts. Fees could potentially vary by a considerable amount as the legislature seeks to use fee revenue to pay for state spending. This bill is one of many authorizing fee increases totaling some $125.5 million which Gov. Jennifer Granholm proposed to close a gap between state spending and expected revenue in the Fiscal Year 2003-2004 budget.
