2002 House Bill 5651 ↩

House Roll Call 349: The amendment was not adopted

To add language stating that “the counties of Alger, Luce, Marquette, and Schoolcraft shall be exempt from any reduction in the receipt of Michigan transportation fund revenues resulting from an unconstitutional interdepartment grant.” This refers to a proposal in the executive recommendation for this budget to divert $107.7 million in road-tax dollars from road projects to the Departments of State and Treasury, which was offered as a means to balance the budget without cutting spending by these or other departments. The House version of the bill reduces the transfers to approximately $70 million.
