2009 House Bill 5407 / 2010 Public Act 66

Appropriations: Supplemental budget

Introduced in the House

Sept. 17, 2009

Introduced by Rep. George Cushingberry (D-8)

To provide a template or "place holder" for a potential supplemental school aid appropriation for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. Note: This would accommodate proposals to adopt a budget that includes no taxes before the fiscal year begins, while then passing tax hikes and supplemental budgets to spend them afterwards.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations

March 18, 2010

Motion by Rep. Tim Melton (D-29)

The motion passed by voice vote

Substitute offered by Rep. George Cushingberry (D-8)

To replace the previous version of the bill with one that contains actual spending and revenue provisions. The appropriated money would come from the state Agriculture Equine Industry Development Fund, which gets money from "off track betting" simulcast betting taxes, horse racing licensing fees and fines, uncashed winning tickets, and a portion of the tax levied on Detroit casinos.

The substitute passed by voice vote

Passed in the House 106 to 2 (details)

To transfer funds from horse race and casino gambling revenue to the Racing Commissioner office in the Michigan Gaming Control Board so as to fund horse race regulatory costs and Department of Agriculture testing costs. The money would be used to add more horse racing dates in 2010.
