*Reflects requests from SBO letter ofMarch 13, 2009. (Items requested in March 3 SBO letter for Transportation funds totaling $873.0 million to be received under ARRA were included in House Bill 4582, which was passed by the House on March 18.)

OVERVIEW

AMarch 13, 2009 letter from the State Budget Office (SBO) requests FY 2008-09 supplemental spending authority totaling $2.1 billion for federal funds to be received under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Generally, these funds are those that have been distributed to the state through formula-based provisions for program-specific purposes. Funds received under ARRA with more discretionary provisions (State Fiscal Stabilization Fund, increased Medicaid match rate, etc.) are not included in this request. An appropriation of $2.0 million is recommended for the creation of a special office in the Department of Management and Budgetto provide statewide oversight, tracking, and accountability of ARRA funds

Recommended boilerplate language would (1) automatically appropriate any additional federal funds awarded to Michigan through recalculation of formulas or under federal redistribution provisions, (2) allow unexpended funds to be carried forward to succeeding fiscal years (work project provisions), and (3) require subrecipients of the funds to comply with all federal requirements regarding certification, assurances, accountability, and transparency.

The House-passed version of House Bill 4258 concurs with all of the items recommended by SBO, with two exceptions:

· The funding amount for Senior Nutrition Services in the Community Health budget is increased by $200,000 as a technical adjustment (Item 3).

· Recommended funding of $24.5 million for Education Technology Grants in the Department of Education budget is excluded from the bill (Item 11).

Additionally, the House-passed bill includes boilerplate language related to posting of expenditure detail on the internet and notification of issuing request for proposals (Secs. 206 and 207).
