2004 House Bill 5526 ↩

Senate Roll Call 341: Passed

The Senate 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 $457.1 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, $245.6 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 Senate version authorizes approximately $1.1 million more in gross spending than the governor recommended.
