Introduced
by
The House version of the a supplemental appropriation budget. The actual legislative “vehicle” for this budget was Senate Bill 283, which is the bill that was taken up and eventually passed into law.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Substitute offered
To replace the executive recommendation, and use this legislative "shell" as a "vehicle" to make $61.4 million in supplemental appropriations for the current fiscal year, $1.6 million of which is general fund money. Of this, $31.2 million in federal anti-terrorism money would go to hospitals and laboratories, and for improved communications/ information systems intended to deal with biological attacks. Another $12 million in funds from an anticipated vitamin price-fixing lawsuit settlement would go to a multi-year “Healthy Lifestyles Program” programs intended to reduce obesity in the population, and to expand a program to provide surplus food from farmers’ markets to eligible recipients. The bill would increase Medicaid home-care waiver slots to 15,000, an increase of 3,000. However, no additional funds go to the health care entities which are suing the state on this issue. The bill also appropriates $9 million of tobacco lawsuit money for college merit award scholarships, $3.4 million from the Environmental Response Fund for clean-up of Tannery Bay in White Lake, and includes smaller amounts for various programs in the Departments of Military and Veterans Affairs, Education, Agriculture, Transportation, State Police, and the Family Independence Agency, as well as initial budget “placeholders” for various capital outlay projects.
