Introduced
by
The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-2008 community colleges budget. This appropriates $297.3 million in gross spending, compared to $281.3 million, which was the FY 2006-2007 amount enrolled in 2006. All of this comes from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues). Note: Gov. Jenifer Granholm’s executive budget recommendations are premised on the legislature adopting a 2 percent tax on services which along with other tax increases and a proposed reduction in business taxes represents a net tax hike of approximately $1 billion.

Passed in the House 59 to 47 (details)
The House version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-2008 community colleges budget. This appropriates $333.8 million in gross spending (all general fund money), compared to $281.3 million, which was the FY 2006-2007 amount enrolled in 2006. When delays in previous year disbursements are considered that pushed some of those appropriations into this budget, the net increase in community college funding is around 2.5 percent, distributed unevenly to different institutions. Note: As with all House Budgets, this one authorizes spending well in excess of projected revenues, and is based on the presumption of a substantial tax increase.

To send the community colleges budget back to the House "stripped" of all actual appropriations, and $100 “placeholders” in their place. These and some changes in the remaining “boilerplate” language prescribing policies the department must follow establish “points of difference” with the House version, the presence of which makes them subjects for negotiation between the bodies. This vote is basically a procedural method of launching negotiations to work out the differences between the House and Senate budgets.
