The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2003-2004 State Police budget. (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed budget for this department is <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-SB-319">Senate Bill 319 </a>.) This appropriates $391.9 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $396.3 million, which was the FY 2002-2003 amount enrolled in 2002, excluding any supplemental appropriations, line-item vetoes, or later cuts. Of this, $231.2 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2002-2003 amount enrolled in 2002 of $287.0 million. The Senate version does not recognize $12.5 million in revenue from new fire service fees on property insurance premiums proposed by the governor.

The House version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2003-2004 State Police budget. (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed budget for this department is <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-SB-319">Senate Bill 319 </a>.) This appropriates $443.0 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted funds and federal grants, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $396.3 million, which was the FY 2002-2003 amount enrolled in 2002, excluding any supplemental appropriations, line-item vetoes, or later cuts. Of this, $231.2 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2002-2003 amount enrolled in 2002 of $287.0 million. The House version uses revenue from the new driving record “points” fees proposed by Senate Bill 509, and from the increased license fees proposed by Senate Bill 554. The large increase in the House version of the budget is due to increased federal homeland security money.
