2008 House Bill 5809 ↩

Senate Roll Call 345: Passed

The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2008-2009 Department of Labor and Economic Growth. This would appropriate $1.359 billion in gross spending, compared to $1.301 billion, which was the FY 2007-2008 amount enrolled in 2007. Of this, $45.8 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2007-2008 amount of $46.0 million. Another $386.3 million is from “restricted funds,” or earmarked tax and fee revenue, compared to $378.8 million the previous year. The balance of the money is federal funds. The Senate did not include some $44 million for a "no worker left behind" job training program proposed by Gov. Granholm and approved by the House.
