2002 Senate Bill 1103 / Public Act 522

Introduced in the Senate

Feb. 13, 2002

Introduced by Sen. Leon Stille (R-32)

The executive recommendation for the FY 2002-2003 Department of Education budget. This appropriates $89.4 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $996.1 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $30.1 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to $33.9 million. The huge difference in gross funding is because $911 million in federal funds which were included in the FY 2002 Education budget are transferred to the school aid budget in FY 2003.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations

Substitute offered

To replace the previous version of the bill with a version recommended by the committee which reported it. The substitute adds back $120 million in one-time federal grants which had been transferred to the K-12 school aid budget.

May 14, 2002

Substitute offered

To replace the Senate-passed version of the bill with a version which makes minor changes in the funding amounts and in certain “boilerplate” language requiring or prohibiting various conditions and actions. The substitute adds $947,000 for school breakfast programs and $100,000 for an Off-Road/All-Terrain Safety Education Program.

The substitute passed by voice vote

Amendment offered by Rep. Ron Jelinek (R-78)

To add $100 to various general fund expenditures, thereby providing a "point of difference" between the Senate- and House-passed versions of the bill. This allows House members of a likely House-Senate conference committee to negotiate these items. Unless there is a point of difference, technically a conference committee may not change a particular provision.

The amendment passed by voice vote

Passed in the House 100 to 0 (details)

The House version of the FY 2002-2003 Department of Education budget. This appropriates $215.6 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $996.1 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $30.1 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to $33.9 million. The huge difference in gross funding from the previous year is because $790 million in federal grants which were included in the FY 2002 Education budget are transferred to the school aid budget in FY 2003.

Passed in the Senate 22 to 15 (details)

The House-Senate conference report for the FY 2002-2003 Department of Education budget. This appropriates $214.3 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $996.1 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $27.8 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to $33.9 million. The huge difference in gross funding from the previous year is because $790 million in federal grants which were included in the FY 2002 Education budget are transferred to the school aid budget in FY 2003. Note: The FY 2001-2002 figures do not include supplemental appropriations, interdepartmental program shifts, funding source shifts, or cuts made by executive order later in the fiscal year, if any. These can be substantial, and will change the appearance of year-to-year comparisons.
