2007 Senate Bill 437

Senate Roll Call 122: Passed

To adopt a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-SB-436">Republican plan</a> to match current year spending with expected revenues, closing an approximately $722 million gap. This bill contains the school portion, and would authorize a per-pupil school aid cut of $36, compared to $122 per pupil, which is the amount expected if no other cuts are made or taxes raised. The difference would mostly be made up by transferring $140 million that has been allocated but not yet spent from the “<a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2005-HB-5047">21st Century Jobs Fund</a>” to the School Aid Fund.
