2002 House Bill 5649

House Roll Call 294: Passed

The House version of the FY 2002-2003 Department of Military and Veterans Affairs budget. This appropriates $107.6 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $102.5 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $36.4 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the current year’s $41.83 million. This includes $8.6 million federal in projected Medicaid reimbursements at the Grand Rapids Veterans Home, which will partially offset the $5.0 million GF decrease. The House version adds $860,725 in general fund spending for veterans groups which had been cut by a November, 2001 budget-balancing executive order.
