Introduced
by
The executive recommendation for the FY 2002-2003 Department of Military and Veterans Affairs budget. This appropriates $107.6 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $102.5 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $36.4 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the current year’s $41.83 million. This includes $8.6 million federal in projected Medicaid reimbursements at the Grand Rapids Veterans Home, which will partially offset the $5.0 million GF decrease.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Substitute offered
To replace the executive recommendation with a version which makes minor changes in the funding amounts, and minor changes in certain “boilerplate” language requiring or prohibiting various conditions and actions. The most significant change is to add $860,725 in general fund spending for veterans groups which had been cut a November, 2001 budget-balancing executive order.

The House-Senate conference report for the FY 2002-2003 Department of Military and Veterans Affairs budget. This appropriates $103.1 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $102.5 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001.

Note: The FY 2001-2002 figures do not include supplemental appropriations, interdepartmental program shifts, funding source shifts, or cuts made by executive order later in the fiscal year, if any. These can be substantial, and will change the appearance of year-to-year comparisons.
