Motion
by
To advance to the next step of the process a bill that embodies an agreement between the House leadership and Gov. Jennifer Granholm regarding changes to the governor's Feb. 10, 2005 Executive Order reducing current-year spending due to lower-than-expected tax revenues. They agreed that if revenues increase sufficiently by August then a $30 million higher education operations spending cut ordered by the governor will not be made. The agreement also includes not closing a privately-managed youth prison in Baldwin this year, and not cutting MSU agricultural extension and research spending. Note: The Senate was not a party to this, and separately rejected the Executive Order cuts after the governor rejected a proposal by its leadership to avoid cuts to these same items by cutting Detroit revenue sharing (in return for allowing the city to borrow more), cutting arts spending, and cutting public transit spending.

To adopt a bill that embodies an agreement with Gov. Jennifer Granholm on an <a href="http://mi.gov/gov/0,1607,7-168-21975-113588--,00.html">Executive Order</a> making $295 million in current-year general fund spending cuts due to lower-than-expected tax revenues. It appropriates $684.5 million in total spending, of which $365.6 million is federal, $239.1 million is state "restricted" fund, and $39.9 million is state general fund money. This bill and Senate Bill 235 authorize new state borrowing of some $300 million (see Senate substitute for debt details). This bill eliminates a $30 million higher education operations spending cut ordered by the governor if it turns out that sufficient tax revenue is collected later in the year.
