2004 House Bill 5519 ↩

House Roll Call 753: Passed

The House-Senate conference report for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2004-2005 Department of History, Arts and Libraries budget. This appropriates $57.0 million in unadjusted gross spending, compared to final the FY 2003-2004 amount of $56.5 million. Of this, $45.8 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the final FY 2003-2004 amount of $44.2 million. Among many other things, the budget includes $965,000 for a new digitized historical records project, but does not include $1.125 million in extra funding for the Detroit and Grand Rapids libraries. Arts grants are unchanged from the previous year at $12.4 million.
