Amendment offered
by
To tie-bar the bill to Senate Bill 84, meaning this bill cannot become law unless that one does also. SB 94 would allow school districts to use “sinking fund” taxes for a wider variety of purposes. Under current law, sinking funds are permanent funds that may be used only for the purchase of land, or construction and (major) repair of school buildings. Regular school bonds may be used to fund a much wider array of activities.

Passed in the Senate 20 to 17 (details)
The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-2011 school aid budget. This would appropriate $12.656 billion, compared to $12.823 billion for FY 2009-2010, and $12.863 billion recommended by Gov. Granholm (contingent on a $557 million tax increase). The bill would reduce the per-pupil foundation grant by $118, but this would not happen if the additional school employee pension contributions proposed by Senate Bill 1227 are adopted. It would also add-back half of the "Section 20j" money for districts especially impacted by Proposal A vetoed in 2009 by Gov. Granholm.
