Introduced
by
The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2006-2007 community colleges budget. This appropriates $287.1 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $281.3 million, which was the FY 2005-2006 amount enrolled in 2005. All of this comes from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues).
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. Notably, while the bottom line is very close, the Senate uses $43.9 million from the School Aid Fund to pay for this spending, rather than general fund money. The School Aid Fund is the source of K-12 funding.
