Amendment offered by Sen. Roger Kahn (R-32)

To strip out the Haveman amendment added by the House, which would require the Department of Community Health to divert $5 million from other spending to hire an independent contractor to correct problems related to an Auditor General audit that found $4.4 billion in costs not properly accounted for, and perhaps $2 million in payments for medical services to people who were deceased.

Passed in the Senate 27 to 1 (details)

Signed by Gov. Jennifer Granholm

Aug. 3, 2010

With a note that she will refuse to implement the provision added by the Haveman amendment, which requires the Department of Community Health to divert $5 million from other spending and hire an independent contractor to correct problems related to an Auditor General audit. Unusually, the Governor did not veto the provision, but rather just announced that she refused to implement it.
