2004 Senate Bill 1066 ↩

Senate Roll Call 628: Passed

The House-Senate conference report for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2004-2005 Department of Environmental Quality budget. (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed budget for this department is <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-SB-1039">Senate Bill 1039</a>.) This appropriates $336.0 million in unadjusted gross spending, compared to $371.4 million, which was the final FY 2003-2004 amount. Of this, $31.6 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the final FY 2003-2004 amount of $53.5 million. The budget allocates no funds for new environmental cleanups, which accounts for most of the decline from the previous year's spending.
