2007 Senate Bill 232 ↩

Senate Roll Call 460: Passed

The House-Senate conference report for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-2008 Department of Human Services (Welfare) budget. This appropriates $4.589 billion in gross spending, compared to $4.468 billion, which was the FY 2006-2007 amount enrolled in 2006, and $4.454 billion proposed by Gov. Granholm (see <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-SB-256">Senate Bill 256</a>). Of this, $1.312 billion will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2006-2007 amount of $1.197 billion; $3.154 billion is federal revenue; and $118.9 million is other from other taxes and fees levied in Michigan. The budget includes some additional transfers of foster care, justice justice and adoption services to private social service agencies (but much less than the amount the Senate had passed).
