2005 House Bill 4872

Appropriations: 2006 Department of Agriculture budget

Introduced in the House

June 7, 2005

Introduced by Rep. Goeff Hansen (R-100)

To provide a “template” or “place holder” for a Fiscal Year 2005-2006 Department of Agriculture budget. This bill contains no appropriations, but may be amended later to add them. Note: This was introduced the same week the House passed <a href=“http://www.michiganvotes.org/2005-HB-4831”>House Bill 4831</a>, an “omnibus” budget with the House’s version of this and all other departmental budgets. However, the Senate developed separate departmental budgets, Gov. Jennifer Granholm has recommended her own versions of separate budgets, and when this bill was introduced it was not known how all of that will be reconciled. This “placeholder” gives the House flexibility.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
