2006 Senate Bill 1085 / Public Act 332

Appropriations: 2006-2007 Education Department budget

Introduced in the Senate

Feb. 28, 2006

Introduced by Sen. Martha G. Scott (D-2)

The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2006-2007 Department of Education budget. This appropriates $90.3 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $117.8 million, which was the FY 2005-2006 amount enrolled in 2005. Of this, $6.6 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2005-2006 amount of $16.4 million. Note: Much of the difference from previous year spending levels is due to the fact that items in this budget the previous year were shifted to the School Aid budget.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations

March 28, 2006

Reported without amendment
