2008 Senate Bill 1094 ↩

House Roll Call 481: Passed

The House version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2008-2009 Department of Community Health budget. (Gov. Granholm’s recommendation for this budget is contained in <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2008-SB-1141">Senate Bill 1141</a>). This would appropriate $12.438 billion in gross spending, compared to $12.048 billion, which was the FY 2007-2008 amount enrolled in 2007. Of this, $7.146 billion is federal money, compared to the FY 2007-2008 amount of $6.708 billion, and $5.292 billion is from state tax and other revenues, compared to $5.300 billion the previous year. Among other things, the budget does include Gov. Granholm's proposal for pilot "mental health courts," and would not eliminate Medicaid coverage for 19- and 20-year-olds living in low income households.
