Introduced
by
The executive recommendation for the FY 2002-2003 Department of Natural Resources budget. This appropriates $250.9 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $253.4 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $45.5 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the current year’s $55.9 million. General Fund expenditure reductions over the past two years have been offset to some degree by a funding source shift of $4.7 million from restricted funds (license fees, trust funds, etc.). The budget also reflects a $15.5 million transfer ($2.7 million GF) to the new Department of Information Technology.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with a version recommended by the committee which reported it. The substitute incorporates changes resulting from committee testimony and deliberation. It was amended to require the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to coordinate with local governments to combine state and federal grants for land acquisition or recreation development projects so as to minimize local matching funds. It was also amended to add approximately $700,000 for the DNR to pay its property taxes on some 900,000 acres of state land, which would avoid a plan offered by the department to pay local governments an amount less than what is owed, pro-rated on the basis of how much the department believes it has available without reducing other spending.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered

The Senate version of the FY 2002-2003 Department of Natural Resources (DNR) budget. This appropriates $253.9 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $253.4 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $47.4 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the current year’s $55.9 million. General Fund expenditure reductions over the past two years have been offset to some degree by a funding source shift of $4.7 million from restricted funds (license fees, trust funds, etc.). The budget also reflects a $15.5 million transfer ($2.7 million GF) to the new Department of Information Technology. The Senate added money for the DNR to pay its property taxes on some 900,000 acres of state land.
Substitute offered
To replace the Senate-passed version of the bill with a version which makes minor changes in the funding amounts, and in certain “boilerplate” language requiring or prohibiting various conditions and actions.

by
To replace the Senate-passed version of the bill with a version which makes minor changes in the funding amounts, and in certain “boilerplate” language requiring or prohibiting various conditions and actions. The House added $800,000 for forest roads, bridges, and facilities construction, $400,000 for a timber marking program, and $10,000 for a study seeking a long term strategy for the treatment and mitigation of Chronic Wasting Disease in wildlife populations. The substitute also makes small changes in various line item expenditures, thereby providing a "point of difference" between the Senate- and House-passed versions of the bill. This allows House members of a likely House-Senate conference committee to negotiate these items. Unless there is a point of difference, technically a conference committee may not change a particular provision.
