Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
The version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-2008 Judiciary budget reported by the House Appropriations Committee. This budget expresses the will of the House Democratic majority, but it was subsequently replaced by a version that zeros out all line items as a way to accelerate House-Senate budget negotiations (see Gillard substitute). This version would appropriate $260.9 million in gross spending, compared to $259.4 million, which was the FY 2006-2007 amount enrolled in 2006, and $263.2 million proposed by Gov. Granholm. Of this, $159.6 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2006-2007 amount of $160.6 million.

Amendment offered
by

The amendment passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 57 to 50 (details)
To send the Judiciary budget back to the Senate "stripped" of all actual appropriations, and $100 “placeholders” in their place. These and some changes in the remaining “boilerplate” language prescribing policies the department must follow establish “points of difference” with the Senate version, the presence of which makes them subjects for negotiation between the bodies. This vote is basically a procedural method of launching negotiations to work out the differences between the House and Senate budgets.
To concur with a House-passed version of the bill. The vote sends the bill to a House-Senate conference committee to work out the differences.
