Introduced
by
The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2006-2007 Department of Community Health budget. This appropriates $11.262 billion in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $10.292 billion, which was the FY 2005-2006 amount enrolled in 2005. Of this, $6.103 billion is federal money, compared to the FY 2005-2006 amount of $5.533 billion, and $5.159 billion is from state tax and other revenues, compared to $4.759 billion enrolled the previous year.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (S-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the executive proposal for this budget with one that expresses policy differences between the Republican-majority in the Senate and Governor Jennifer Granholm on certain spending items and funding sources. See the Senate-passed version for dollar amount difference, and the Senate Fiscal Agency analysis for detailed analysis (the “Text and Analysis” at the top of this bill’s MichiganVotes.org page is a link to this).
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To eliminate a provision that cuts $35 million from the Detroit-Wayne County community mental health services program (CMHSP) unless it becomes an official “community mental health authority” as defined in statute. The provision would insulate the mental health services funding and administration from other parts of Wayne County government, and is opposed by Wayne County officials.
The amendment failed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To require the Department of Community Health to identify budget cuts equal to 20 percent of its general fund money, in case legislation eliminating the Single Business Tax becomes law, no new tax is adopted, and the ensuing reduction in general fund revenue is apportioned uniformly across all state departments, rather than by prioritizing government spending.
