|

|
|
1. Constitutional Revenue Sharing. The Governor recommended constitutional revenue sharing to cities, villages, and townships at $711,119,700 based on consensus revenue estimates. This is an increase of $13,619,200 or 2.0% over the current estimates for FY 2011-12. This required program distributes 15.0% of the State sales tax revenue received at a rate of 4.0% on a per capita basis to cities, villages, and townships (CVTs). The Senate concurred. |

0 |
|
3. County Statutory Revenue Sharing. The Governor eliminated statutory revenue sharing for counties. This program provided State payments to counties that had depleted their revenue sharing reserve accounts which were created by the acceleration of property tax collections in FY 2003-04. The cost of fully funding the statutory formula for counties is approximately $167.6 million in FY 2012-13. Payments for this program were prorated in FY 2011-12 to the available appropriation. The Senate funded county revenue sharing at $101,658,700. |
(13,341,300) |
|
4. County Incentive Program. The Governor created an incentive program for counties similar to the current EVIP for cities, villages, and townships. Receipt of payments would be based on satisfying incentive criteria for transparency in finances, consolidation of services, and employment compensation plans. Payment amounts would be based on the amounts due under the existing county revenue sharing formula and prorated to the total available. The Senate funded the county incentive program at $25,414,600. |
25,414,600 |

|
Changes from FY 2011-12 Year to Date: |
|
1. Competitive Grant Assistance Program. The Governor eliminated the requirement that grants be awarded only to projects that occurred on or after October 1, 2012. The Senate concurred. (Sec. 19-402/Sec. 951) |
|
2. Incentive Programs. The Governor revised the EVIP requirements to include counties and required participants to comply with compensation plan requirements for employee contracts or agreements entered into after September 30, 2012. The Governor required participants to submit a list of the expiration dates of current employee contracts and agreements. The Governor added a 3-year budget projection and debt service detail to accountability and transparency requirements. Second year EVIP participants would be required to update previous consolidation and compensation plans, identify barriers to implementation of those plans, present timelines for implementation, and include at least one new consolidation proposal. The three categories would remain accountability and transparency, consolidation of services, and employee compensation, with one-third of funding dependent on completion of each category. Certification of compliance and submission of completed plans would be required for payment. Payments would be issued until the due dates. After the due date for a category, payments would be forfeited for any payment month unless the certification was made by the first day of that payment month. The Senate required a two-year budget projection. The Senate modified the consolidation plan requirements to require a first-year participant to submit either a list of previous consolidations or at least 1 new proposal. Second year participants would update their previous plan with no new proposal required. For the compensation plan, no implementation date would be set. Requirements for the compensation plan would be revised such that local governments could qualify by certifying compliance with the Publicly Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act, 2011 PA 152, certifying that no health insurance is offered, OR by revising retirement plan provisions that the local government intended to implement for benefits awarded going forward due to service credit earned under new or extended contracts. First-year participants would create a plan that satisfied the minimum requirements and that it intended to implement. Second-year participants would update the prior year plan with implementation status, identification of barriers to implementation, and a timeline. (Sec. 19-403/Sec. 952) |
|
3. County Incentive Program. The Governor created an incentive-based program for counties. Payments would be calculated according to the existing revenue sharing statute but paid based on county completion of incentive requirements. The incentive requirements would be the same as those under the EVIP. The Senate also created a County Incentive Program with requirements the same as the Senate proposal for EVIP. (Sec. 19-403/Sec. 952) |
|
4. Health Care Benefits. The Governor required all incentive program participants to certify by April 1, 2013 either compliance with Secs. 3, 4, and 5 of the Publicly Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act, 2011 PA 152 (cost sharing requirements) or that health benefits are not offered to local employees or elected officials. Failure to comply would result in a 10% reduction in all incentive program payments. The Senate did not include. (Sec. 19-404) |
