Introduced
by
To provide the “template” or “place holder” for a House Republican version of a Fiscal Year 2006-2007 multi-section school aid budget. This bill contains no appropriations, but may be amended at a later date to include them. Note: The governor's proposed budget is contained in <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2006-HB-5735">House Bill 5735</a>.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the executive proposal for this budget, contained in <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2006-HB-4735">House Bill 5735</a>, with a budget that expresses policy differences between the Republican-majority in the House and Governor Jennifer Granholm on certain spending items and funding sources. See <a href="http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2005-2006/billanalysis/House/pdf/2005-HLA-5789-3.pdf">House Fiscal Agency analysis</a> for detailed information. Highlights include an increase in the minimum per-pupil foundation allowances of $230, to $7,105, but this would be cut to $6,875 if the K-16 ballot initiative were to pass. (The governor proposed a $200 increase, plus an extra $25 in 2005-2006.) The bill also has $30 million for extra middle school math programs and $35 million to close the gap between high and low spending districts. It does not have $50 million in extra money for districts with declining enrollment (especially Detroit), or an extra $28 million to further expand preschool "readiness" program, both proposed by the governor.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered

The amendment would then appropriate the extra tax revenue to expanding preschool "readiness" programs, as proposed by the governor.
