THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 323. The governor shall establish and maintain an
executive budget function through a state budget director. The
governor shall develop and present to the legislature an executive
budget proposal for the following fiscal period. The executive
budget proposal shall include proposed appropriations for state
program services and estimated or proposed revenue and resources
for all state operating funds presented in a line-item format
providing the proposed expenditure amount for each program or other
function authorized in state law or funded through federal revenue
conducted by each state agency. Proposed appropriations shall not
exceed the estimated financing in a state operating fund. The
executive budget function shall include the management and
execution
of the state budget which that
is enacted into law to
deliver intended services within actual levels of financing in the
state operating funds.
Sec. 348. The executive budget submitted to the legislature
shall identify by line item and represent financing for all state
agency programs provided by the resources of state operating funds.
Recommendations for expenditures from each state operating fund
shall
not exceed the estimated beginning balance of such that fund
plus the fund's estimated revenue. Additional and new sources of
revenue may be proposed in the executive budget to meet the
proposed expenditures. In balancing the budget of each state
operating fund, the state budget director shall consider proposed
open-end appropriations and tax and spending limitations as
provided by law.
Sec. 363. Within 30 days after the legislature convenes in
regular session, except in a year in which a newly elected governor
is inaugurated into office when 60 days shall be allowed, the
governor shall transmit to each member of the legislature and the
fiscal agencies the budget in line-item appropriation detail as
provided
in this act, accompanied by such the explanations and
recommendations
relative thereto to the
budget as the governor
considers necessary to explain the proposed expenditure. At the
time the budget is transmitted to the legislature, the director
shall also transmit line-item appropriation detail to the fiscal
agencies using a computer software application that is compatible
with the budget tracking computer systems used by the respective
fiscal agencies.
Sec. 367. (1) Concurrent with transmitting the state budget
proposal to the legislature, the governor shall submit to the
legislature and the fiscal agencies executive budget bills for each
branch of state government and each function of that branch
containing itemized statements of estimated state spending to be
paid to local units of government, individual line item amounts,
including the number of FTE positions to be funded by each
individual line item amount, for the proposed expenditures and any
necessary bills for additional revenue to provide financing for the
proposed expenditures.
(2) One executive budget bill and 1 enacted budget bill shall
contain all of the following:
(a) The estimated revenue for each state operating fund in
sufficient detail to provide for comparison with actual revenue.
(b) Summary totals for each state operating fund to reflect
that recommended expenditures for each fund are within proposed and
estimated resources.
(c) A statement of estimated state spending to be paid to
units of local government, total state spending from state sources
of
financing, and the state-local proportion derived from that
those data.
