Introduced
by
The executive recommendation for the FY 2002-2003 State Police budget. This appropriates $399.7 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $395.4 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $289.9 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the current year’s $300.7 million. This includes $6.1 million in new revenue from an increase in fees charged on traffic tickets to pay for secondary road patrols, and this will offset the reduction in GF spending. The budget also eliminates funding to the City of Detroit for its crime lab, and for the cost incurred by the city in providing police protection at special public events.
