FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would increase FY 2012-13 Adjusted Gross State appropriations by $747,300, all from Federal revenue. The bill would provide the authorization needed for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to receive a competitive grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sport Fish Restoration Boating Infrastructure Grant Program. The Federal grant would support completion of Phase III of the Port Austin State Harbor dock renovation project in Huron County.
The bill also would re-appropriate Federal funds from prior fiscal years that had been carried forward in work project accounts. The Management and Budget Act (Public Act 431 of 1984, Sec. 451a) provides the criteria for the establishment of work projects. The Act requires that a work project: a) be for a specific purpose; b) contain a specific plan to accomplish its objective; c) have an estimated completion cost; and d) have an estimated completion date. The Act allows a work project appropriation to be available until completion of the work or 48 months (four years) after the last day of the fiscal year in which the appropriation was originally made, whichever comes first; then, the remaining balance lapses. The bill would re-appropriate in boilerplate language amounts remaining for three work projects that were originally created at the end of FY 2008-09: $35.0 million of Federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds for school improvement grants administered by the Department of Education; $16.0 million of Federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funds for the Department of State's implementation of election reform; and $163,000 of ARRA revenue for the revision of energy assurance plans by the Michigan Energy Office within the Michigan Strategic Fund.
