Overview
The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) is responsible for conducting post financial and performance audits of state government operations. Audit reports provide a continuing flow of information to assist the Legislature in its oversight of approximately 100 individual state funds and an annual budget of over $27 billion. Audit reports also provide citizens with a measure of accountability and assist department evaluation of their operations. The OAG's overall goal is to improve accounting and financial reporting practices and promote effectiveness, efficiency, and economy in state government. The OAG's mission is to improve the accountability of public funds and to improve the operations of state government for the benefit of the citizens of the state.
The House transfers funding for the Office of the Auditor General out of the Legislature budget and into its own section of the bill. The FY 2005-06 gross appropriation was $15,977,500; this included a $500,000 IDG from Department of Corrections, which was vetoed in the Corrections bill. Accordingly, gross and IDG levels should have been reduced in the Auditor General budget. Current-year funding levels compared to the House and Senate recommendations are as follows:

Major Budget Changes from FY 2005-06 YTD Appropriations |
FY 2005-06 YTD |
Conf Change |
|
1. Jobs, Education and Training Program Expansion Increases funding for additional staff related to the expansion of the existing Jobs Education and Training (JET) pilot projects. The projects seek to increase engagement of long-term Family Independence Program recipients in work activities to achieve boosted federal work participation rate. Funding covers eligibility specialists, JET coordinators, and management/support staff, along with support services provided through DHS, DLEG and Michigan Works! |

146.0 $23,539,700 7,187,500 $16,352,200 |
2. JET Pilot Savings within FIP Program Reflects anticipated Family Independence Program (FIP) assistance savings from expansion of Jobs Education and Training (JET) pilot project. Pilot should result in reduced FIP benefits from a) increased employment income of clients; b) increased case closures due to income; c) fewer case re-openings due to better employment retention; and d) increased 90 day sanction under the JET pilot project for clients in noncompliance. |

3. Other FIP Policy Changes Includes adjustments for other FIP policy changes incorporated in the final budget, including a) $7.2 million in savings from payment standard consolidation proposal; b) $4.4 million in new costs related to increasing earned income disregard in JET pilot to $200 plus 50% of earned income; and c) $460,000 in costs for implementing Transitional FIP program ($10 monthly payment for 6 months) |

4. Short Term Family Support Program Assumes about $5.5 million in FIP savings from implementation of Short Term Family Support Program. Program provides lump-sum $1,500 benefit to qualifying family groups who agree to forego FIP benefits for at least four months. Program would target potential FIP applicants with high degree of work-readiness. Savings would accrue if program avoids longer term FIP benefit payments through use of upfront lump sum payment. |

5. FIP Fund Shift and State-Funded FIP Benefits Replaces $78.0 million of TANF appropriations with GF/GP for FIP program. New GF/GP would help the state overcome anticipated TANF shortfall for FY 2007. From the new GF/GP, $50.0 million would be allocated to fund new state-funded cash benefits. This $50.0 million would not be counted towards state maintenance of effort requirements, so recipients under the new state-funded component of the program would not be counted in federal work participation requirements. |

6. Day Care Funding for JET Pilot Project Increases funds for Day Care Services by $11.7 million to account for increased day care needs resulting from JET pilot expansion. Assumes an additional 1,960 day care cases for the fiscal year. Increase is offset by minimum wage impact discussed in next item. |

7. Impact of Minimum Wage Increase Reduces appropriation for Day Care Services by $12.6 million and Family Independence Program by $5.5 million due to state minimum wage increase. Increased minimum wage will increase income for working public assistance recipients, thereby reducing benefit levels or eliminating eligibility for assistance. |

8. Fund Shift: Replace SSBG with GF/GP Replaces $15.3 million of in federal appropriations from the Social Services Block Grant with state GF/GP funding. Budget action would help offset an expected shortfall in SSBG revenue for FY 2007. SSBG revenue primarily supports local office staffing costs for social services workers. |

Overview
Article VI of the State Constitution of 1963 is the basis for Michigan’s judicial branch of government. The Judiciary budget includes operational funding for the Michigan Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and related judicial agencies. The budget also funds the salaries of justices of the Supreme Court and judges at the appeals, circuit, probate, and district levels according to constitutional and statutory requirements. Assistance for local court operations is provided through a variety of grant programs. The largest of these, the Court Equity grant program, reimburses counties for trial court operations based on a statutory formula that recognizes circuit and probate caseloads and the numbers of judgeships.

Overview
The transportation budget supports state and local highway programs, public transportation programs, aeronautics programs, and administration of the Michigan Department of Transportation. Approximately 2/3 of the budget is from constitutionally-restricted state revenue sources—primarily from motor fuel taxes and vehicle registration taxes credited to the Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF). MTF revenue is distributed to other state transportation funds and programs, and to local road agencies, in accordance with 1951 PA 51 (Act 51). Approximately 1/3 of the budget is from federal sources. There is no state GF/GP revenue in this budget.
Major Budget Issues
· Increase from Current Year –Includes a $41.4 million increase in appropriated local revenue, of which $25 million is technical adjustment. Also assumes increase in Comprehensive Transportation Fund (CTF) revenue from end of redirection of auto-related sales tax.
· Interdepartmental Grants – Conference report adopts the Executive budget recommendations, per General Fund target agreement.
· Performance Excellence – Conference report adopts the Executive budget recommendation.
· Safe Routes to School – Includes $4.0 million for new federal program, an initiative in SAFETEA-LU, the federal-aid reauthorization act. (Also included in current-year supplemental).
· Road & Bridge Construction – Appropriates $988.1 million, a $4.5 million decrease from current-year, based on estimated federal and State Trunkline Fund (STF) revenue.
· Local Bus Operating Assistance – Recommends $166.6 million, a $3.3 million increase from current year.
· Bus Capital – Includes $64.7 million, an increase of $17.9 million. Assumes $10.9 million in additional CTF revenue from end of three year redirection of auto-related sales tax to General Fund. Also assumes $7 million in additional local funds to match federal aid projects.
· Rail Passenger–Funds Rail Passenger line at $8.2 million, the same as current-year funding.
· Other Public Transportation– Conference report adopts Executive budget recommendation for CTF-funded lines.
