2006 House Bill 5796 ↩

House Roll Call 583: Passed

An "omnibus" multidepartment Fiscal Year 2005-2006 House budget, which contains virtually all state spending except K-12 School Aid. Notable features include a lifetime four-year cap on cash payments to able-bodied welfare recipients, increasing some co-pays from Medicaid recipients, increasing Medicaid reimbursements to doctors, revising and increasing university funding distributions, and no increased taxes. Analysis from the non-partisan House Fiscal Agency is <a href="http://house.michigan.gov/hfa/PDFs/HB5795%20Full%20Summary.pdf">here</a> and <a href="http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2005-2006/billanalysis/House/pdf/2005-HLA-5796-8.pdf">here</a>. In total, the budget appropriates $29.925 billion in gross funding (including federal money), of which $9.195 billion is from the general fund (state taxes but not fees and other state revenue).
