2002 House Bill 5644 / Public Act 527

Introduced in the House

Feb. 14, 2002

Introduced by Rep. Marc Shulman (R-39)

The executive recommendation for the FY 2002-2003 Department of Consumer and Industry Services budget. This appropriates $570.0 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $569.8 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $37.9 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to $42.7 million. ($4.9 million GF was cut from this amount in a November, 2001 budget-balancing executive order, bringing actual FY 2002 GF appropriations to $37.8 million).

Passed in the House 58 to 41 (details)

The House-Senate conference report for the FY 2002-2003 Department of Consumer and Industry Services budget. This appropriates $554.9 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $569.8 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $35.9 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to $42.7 million in FY 2001-2002. Note: The FY 2001-2002 figures do not include supplemental appropriations, interdepartmental program shifts, funding source shifts, or cuts made by executive order later in the fiscal year, if any. These can be substantial, and will change the appearance of year-to-year comparisons. The conference report includes a number of specific line item cuts but states that these would restored if a tobacco tax is approved. It also provides for a one-percent department-wide operational expenses cut, with the specifics to be determined by the department.

The House-Senate conference report for the FY 2002-2003 Department of Consumer and Industry Services budget. This appropriates $554.9 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $569.8 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations.

These can be substantial, and will change the appearance of year-to-year comparisons. The conference report includes a number of specific line item cuts, but states that these would be suspended if the tobacco and cigarette tax is increased. This tax increase has been approved, so the actual appropriations will be higher than the nominal line item amounts. It also provides for a one-percent department-wide operational expenses cut, with the specifics to be determined by the department.
