Purpose

The bill provides appropriations to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The primary stated purpose is to authorize expenditure of these appropriated funds in accordance with existing state budget laws and procedures.

Key Provisions

Part 1 – Line-Item Appropriations

  • Agency: Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA)
  • Fiscal year: Ending September 30, 2026
  • Funds and amounts:
    • Gross appropriation: $100
    • State general fund/general purpose: $100
  • This constitutes the entirety of the appropriation under Part 1 for LARA in this bill.

Part 2 – Provisions Concerning Appropriations

  • Sec. 201 (General appropriation provision):
    • For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, total state spending under Part 1 from state sources is $100.
    • State spending under Part 1 to be paid to local units of government is $0.
  • Sec. 202 (Budgetary control):
    • The appropriations under Parts 1 and 2 are subject to the Management and Budget Act, 1984 Public Act 431 (MCL 18.1101 to 18.1594).

Fiscal Impact and Implications

  • The bill establishes a token or placeholder appropriation of $100 for LARA, with the state-fund source explicitly identified as the State General Fund/General Purpose.
  • Given the exceedingly small amount, the measure appears to be procedural, potentially signaling a placeholder for a broader package or for alignment with a specific fiscal year budget sequence. It does not specify programmatic allocations or policy changes beyond the authorization to expend the $100 per the normal budget act rules.
  • Local units receive no funding under this appropriation (Sec. 201).

Affected Entities

  • Primary: Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA)
