Introduced
by
To provide a “template” or “place holder” for a supplemental general government budget for the current fiscal year. This particular “place holder” was not used in 2001, but Senate Bills 283 and 291 were taken up to provide for FY 2000-2001 spending changes, including some increases and some cuts.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that appropriates $659.2 million in gross funding from all sources, mostly federal money. Of this $28.3 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues). The budget provides $471.9 million in gross appropriations ($21.8 million general fund) for the Department of Community Health. This includes $166.5 million to accommodate caseload increases in Medicaid and Children's Special Health Care Services programs; $31.2 million for a bioterrorism preparedness initiative, and $10 million for other public health initiatives. The budget also has $55 million for an Airport Safety and Protection Plan. Other items include $4.5 million for county jail reimbursements, $211, 500 for renaissance zone tax reimbursements to libraries, $900,000 for veterans service organization grants which had been reduced in 2001 by a deficit-closing executive order, $24 million for federal bridge funding, $10.7 million for testing of grade school students pursuant to new federal requirements and grants, and $3.5 million to give extra money to Upper Peninsula schools with declining enrollment. The budget was amended to add $22 million to purchase two buildings from Ford for the University of Michigan Dearborn Campus, $5.9 million for a business training and performing arts building at Monroe County Community College, and $15,800 to reimburse the city of Flint for expenses incurred preparing for a special mayoral election cancelled pending a state review of the city’s troubled financial situation.

Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one which is more limited, after the provisions of the previous version were mostly folded into House Bill 4373. In this version, the bill is being used as a legislative “vehicle” to recognize revenue for nursing homes to be generated by a “Michigan Medicaid Quality Assurance Assessment” (MMQAA) program that would impose a new "bed tax" on nursing homes. This is designed to allow the state to garner a greater amount of federal Medicaid dollars, which would be returned to the nursing homes in the form of greater Medicaid reimbursement rates, resulting in a net gain for most of them. For more details on the MMQAA see Senate Bills 1101 and 748, and House Bills 5103, 4373, and 4057. The bill would also reinstate $12.5 million funding for the Office of the Racing Commissioner (ORC), and related state horse race subsidies. This funding was line-item vetoed out of House Bill 5642, after the Senate had increased this amount with $1.3 million from State Services Fee Fund revenue. The bill includes several smaller supplemental appropriations.
