FISCAL IMPACT

 

The bill would increase FY 2012-13 Adjusted Gross appropriations by $4.7 million and State GF/GP appropriations by $5.2 million, and adjusts State Restricted fund sources for PILT payments.  The bill includes appropriations for two State departments:

 

Department of Human Services. The bill provides $3.3 million in Adjusted Gross appropriations ($3.0 million GF/GP and $0.3 million Federal TANF revenue) for indigent burial services, bringing the total FY 2012-13 appropriation in the line item to $4.3 million.  This change reinstates the level of funding needed to provide both cremation and burial services for claimed and unclaimed indigent individuals.  The FY 2012-13 initial appropriation for the "Unclaimed bodies" line item is $1.0 million, a reduction from the prior fiscal year, and allows cremation services only for unclaimed deceased.  The Social Welfare Act would have to be amended, however, in order for the Department to implement this change; those amendments were not enacted.  This bill also changes the name of the line item to "Indigent burial" to reflect the current status of the program.  Under current law, the Department is required to continue to provide burial and cremation services for both claimed and unclaimed individuals. 

 

Department of Treasury.  The bill would increase PILT appropriations to fully fund the current statutory PILT formulas for the three PILT programs appropriated in the Department of Treasury.  These are Commercial Forest Reserve, Purchased Lands, and Swamp and Tax


Reverted Land.  This would increase payments to local units of government by $2,671,000 in FY 2012-13, consisting of $2,167,400 GF/GP and $503,600 in State Restricted funds.  This cost would be offset by a reduction of $1,315,300 in excess spending authority for the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund.  The reduction in spending authority is not anticipated to affect payments in FY 2012-13.  Overall, the bill would increase Adjusted Gross State appropriations for PILT by $1,355,700.  Table 2 presents a comparison of the FY 2012-13 initial appropriations for PILT with the proposed FY 2012-13 full funding of PILT.
