EXECUTIVE ORDER No.2003 - 23

IMPLEMENTATION OF EXPENDITURE REDUCTIONS UNDER SECTION 20 OF ARTICLE V OF THE MICHIGAN CONSTITUTION OF 1963

WHEREAS, under Section 20 of Article V of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 no appropriation is a mandate to spend, and the Governor, with the approval of the appropriating committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall reduce expenditures authorized by appropriations whenever it appears that actual revenues for a fiscal period will fall below the revenue estimates on which appropriations for that period were based, and the reductions shall be made in accordance with procedures prescribed by law;

WHEREAS, it appears that actual revenues for the fiscal period beginning on October 1, 2003 and ending on September 30, 2004, will fall below the revenue estimates on which appropriations for that period were based, the estimates having been determined by the Legislature as required under Section 31 of Article IV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 391 of the Management and Budget Act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1391, on the basis of written information from the State Budget Director and the State Treasurer, it appears that actual revenue will fall below such revenue estimates;

WHEREAS, there is an unanticipated loss of funding that the departments and agencies of state government do not expect to obtain or make up during the current fiscal year;

WHEREAS, expenditure reductions totaling $231,930,172.00  general fund-general purpose and $147,899,300.00 special purpose funds are necessary;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan, pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, and with the approval of a majority of members of each appropriations committee, order the following reductions:

A.        Portions of general fund-general purpose appropriations amounting to $200,937,582.00 contained in the following public acts are hereby reduced.  Where the expenditure reductions of general fund-general purpose appropriations in this order reduce the restricted portions of gross appropriations and sources of financing that will be earned, the amounts to be reduced shall be provided separately to the State Budget Director for approval and entry into the accounts.
