2009 House Bill 4438 ↩

Senate Roll Call 290: Passed

The Senate version of the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Department of Education budget. This would appropriate $95.1 million in gross spending, compared to $95.1 million, which was the FY 2008-2009 amount enrolled in 2008. Of this, $6.8 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2008-2009 amount of $7.5 million. Another $7.3 million comes from state “restricted fund” revenue that is generated by various fees and other levies, and most of the balance ($76.4 million) is federal money. The Senate does not eliminate the Department of History, Arts, and Libraries as proposed by Gov. Granholm, so this budget does not include $22 million added by the House for library spending.
