The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2005-2006 Department of Corrections budget. This appropriates $1.882 billion in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $1.783 billion, which was the FY 2004-2005 amount enrolled in 2004. Of this, $1.805 billion will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2004-2005 amount of $1.708 billion.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (S-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the executive proposal for this budget with one that expresses policy differences between the Republican-majority in the Senate and Governor Jennifer Granholm on certain spending items and funding sources. In particular, the Newberry Prison and Camp Manistique in the Upper Penninsula would be closed, rather than the privately-owned Michigan Youth Correctional Facility in Baldwin that Gov. Granholm has proposed closing. However, the bill was amended to allow negotiations to continue on this issue.
