2002 Senate Bill 1112

Introduced in the Senate

Feb. 13, 2002

Introduced by Sen. John J. H. Schwarz (R-24)

The executive proposal for the FY 2002-2003 general government budget, which funds the Attorney General, Civil Rights Department, Civil Service Department, Executive, Legislature, Library of Michigan, Department of Management and Budget, Department of State, and Department of Treasury. This would appropriate $2.336 billion in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, plus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $2.519 billion, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $373.6 million would come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the current year’s $504.8 million. Part of the decline in GF spending is due to a transfer of $40.0 million in gas tax revenue to the Secretary of State. This budget also includes $337.4 million in funding for the newly created Department of Information Technology. The new department will provide information technology services to other state departments, and its personnel and funding are to be transferred from other departments.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
