2004 Senate Bill 1064

Senate Roll Call 193: Passed

The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2004-2005 Department of Corrections budget. (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed budget for this department is <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-SB-1037">Senate Bill 1037 </a>.) This appropriates $1.801 billion in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $1.721 billion, which was the FY 2003-2004 amount enrolled in 2003. Of this, $1.722 billion will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to $1.609 billion in FY 2003-2004. The Senate version authorizes approximately $20 million less in gross spending than the governor recommended, with less for prisoner education, drug treatment, Hepatitis C health care, travel expenses, and others.
