This appropriates $125.1 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $113.5 million, which was the FY 2004-2005 amount enrolled in 2004. Of this, $28.0 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2004-2005 amount of $26.4 million.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations

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. It also shifts some funding to the K-12 school aid budget, which makes changes from the previous year's budget and the Governor's recommendation appear larger than they really are.
