To reduce by three percent the amount of the combined Constitutional and statutory state revenue payments paid to local and county governments in Fiscal Year 2003-2004, including Detroit.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Substitute offered
by
To replace the previous version of the bill with one which would cut the statutory revenue sharing to cities, villages and townships by 10.26 percent, and by three-percent to counties. See House-passed bill for more details.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 66 to 40 (details)
To cut the statutory revenue sharing to cities, villages and townships by 10.26 percent, and by three-percent to counties. Given the differing proportions of statutory and Constitutionally-mandated revenue sharing which comprise the payments made to particular local governments, this formula has the effect of reducing payments more to the large (and poorer) cities and less to small ones. For example, Detroit's reduction would be $15 million greater than under the governor's proposed across-the-board three-percent reduction from the combined Constitutional and statutory payments.
Failed in the Senate 8 to 29 (details)
To concur with a House-passed version of the bill. The vote sends the bill to a House-Senate conference committee to work out the differences.
Received
Passed in the Senate 30 to 2 (details)
The House-Senate conference report, which is essentially the bill as introduced. This would reduce by three percent the amount of the combined Constitutional and statutory state revenue payments paid to local and county governments in Fiscal Year 2003-2004, including Detroit. The actual cut will come from the statutory portion, as reducing the Constitutional portion would require a Constitutional amendment. But the size of the reduction is based on the combined total. Given the differing proportions of statutory and Constitutionally-mandated revenue sharing which comprise the payments made to particular local governments, this formula has the effect of reducing payments less to the large (and poorer) cities (including Detroit) and less to newer, faster growing communities.
