2004 Senate Bill 1068 ↩

House Roll Call 464: Passed

The House version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2004-2005 Department of Natural Resources budget. (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed budget for this department is <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-SB-1047">Senate Bill 1047</a>.) This appropriates $252.2 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $250.8 million, which was the FY 2003-2004 amount enrolled in 2003. Of this, $24.8 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2003-2004 amount of $28.8 million. The House version authorizes approximately $2.5 million more in gross spending than the governor recommended.
