Substitute offered

To replace the executive proposal for this budget, contained in <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2004-HB-5613">House Bill 5613</a>, with a budget that expresses policy differences between the Republican-majority in the House and Governor Jennifer Granholm on certain spending items and funding sources. See House-passed version for major features, and House 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 Rep. Tupac Hunter (D-9)

Passed in the House 103 to 4 (details)

The House version of the Fiscal Year 2004-2005 state police budget. (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed budget for this department is <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-HB-5613">House Bill 5613</a>.) This appropriates $457.0 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $443.0 million, which was the FY 2003-2004 amount enrolled in 2003. Of this, $245.4 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2003-2004 amount of $247.6 million. The House version authorizes approximately $1 million more in gross spending than the governor recommended.
