Overview

The Michigan Capital Outlay process encompasses the budgetary and administrative functions devoted to financing and planning for the acquisition, construction/renovation, and maintenance of facilities used by a state agency, public university, or community college.  General operational practices and procedures are contained in the Management and Budget Act (1984 PA 431), the State Building Authority Act (1964 PA 183), the annual Capital Outlay Appropriations Act, and the formal policies of the Legislative Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee.  Act 431 contains numerous oversight and approval action steps that define the respective roles of the Executive and Legislative Branches.

The State Building Authority (SBA) finances most major state-owned facility renovations and new construction projects through issuance of revenue bonds.  Debt service on these bonds is annually appropriated as "rent" because it is based on the respective individual facility’s economic or market value.  The SBA has a statutory bonded indebtedness ceiling, currently set at $2.7 billion.

4. Increases GF/GP authorization by $42.1 million to correct for a current GF/GP over-expenditure in the FIP line item.  The over-expenditure resulted from a shortfall in federal revenue, particularly the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant, available to finance DHS expenditures across the department.  An unexpected increase in the FIP caseload late in the year increased FIP costs further and expanded the overall shortfall.

6.  Shifts funding of foster care payments from federal sources to local sources by $3.0 million.  The action reflects a decrease in federal Title IV-E eligibility for foster case cases.  Cases not eligible for Title IV-E funding (56% federal, 44% state match) become State Ward Board and Care cases.  These cases are funded using 50% state and 50% county funds.  Thus, the shift in caseload has lead to fewer federal funds being utilized, with these costs passed on to local counties.  State Ward Board and Care caseload has increased from 42% of statewide cases in FY 2005 to 50% in FY 2006.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

2.  Language to repeal Boilerplate Section 501 of PA 158 of 2005, the FY 2005-06 state transportation budget act.  Section 501 appropriates certain Motor Carrier fees, not used in the Department of Labor and Economic Growth (DLEG) or Department of State Police budgets, to the Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF).  Revenue from the Motor Carrier Act totals approximately $8 million.  Historically, this revenue has been appropriated for DLEG or State Police for motor carrier regulatory and safety activities, with the excess appropriated in boilerplate for the MTF.  The State Budget Office indicates that federal law has pre-empted "single state registration fees" such as those established under the Motor Carrier Act resulting in a $7.1 million revenue shortfall in the FY 2006-07 budget.  Repealing Section 501 would allow approximately $1.5 million in excess FY 2005-06 revenue to carry forward for use in the FY 2006-07 State Police or DLEG budgets, rather than for deposit to the MTF.  The State Budget Office revenue estimates appear to be reasonable in relation to prior years' revenue history.
