Passed in the House 100 to 3 (details)

A House version of the FY 2001-2002 Department of Career Development and the Michigan Strategic Fund budgets. This appropriates $707.0 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), an amount 2.2 percent greater than the current year’s $691.3 million, which was the amount enacted in 2000. Of this, $101.9 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), which is 11.9 percent more than the current year’s $91.0 million. This slightly understates the growth of the Strategic Fund, because the figure is reduced by the transfer of a $151,400 General Fund appropriation for the Michigan Film Office to the new Department of Arts, History, and Libraries.
