2004 House Bill 5519 ↩
Senate Roll Call 335:
Passed
The Senate version of the Fiscal Year FY 2004-2005 Department of History, Arts and Libraries budget. (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed budget for this department is <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-HB-5609">House Bill 5609 </a>.) This appropriates $57 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $56.9 million, which was the FY 2003-2004 amount enrolled in 2003. Of this, $47.4 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2003-2004 amount of $44.7 million. The Senate version authorizes $1.6 million less spending than the governor recommended.
