2009 House Bill 5405 ↩

Senate Roll Call 167: Passed

To appropriate $7.3 million of federal "stimulus" money for various "green" jobs programs, and $2 million for other programs. On the day the education reforms enacted last year were deemed insufficient to make Michigan eligible for $400 million in federal "Race to the Top" grants, a House committee stripped out $25 million from an earlier version of the bill that would create a teacher performance accountability database.
