Summary of HB 4575 — Appropriations: Transportation Department (FY 2025-2026)

Overview

HB 4575 is a Michigan House bill titled “Appropriations: transportation department; appropriations for fiscal year 2025-2026; provide for. Creates appropriation act.” The introduced version (House Introduced Bill) provides a simple line-item appropriation for the State Transportation Department for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The bill was introduced on June 5, 2025, and placed in the Committee on Appropriations after initial readings.

Purpose and Intent

  • To authorize and appropriate funds for the State Transportation Department for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.
  • To establish the framework of an appropriation act governing how the department’s funds may be expended, subject to applicable state budgeting laws.

Key Provisions

Part 1 — Line-Item Appropriations

  • Sec. 101: State Transportation Department appropriation for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026 from state funds.
    • Gross appropriation: $100
    • State general fund/general purpose: $100
    • (This appears as a minimal, placeholder level of funding for the department in this bill.)

Part 2 — Provisions Concerning Appropriations (General)

  • Sec. 201: For FY 2026, total state spending under Part 1 from state sources is $100; state-to-local-units payments are $0.
  • Sec. 202: The appropriations under Part 1 and Part 2 are subject to the Management and Budget Act of 1984 (PA 431).

Funding Details

  • Total state funding (from state sources) for the Transportation Department under this act: $100.
  • Funds to local units of government: $0.
  • Source: State general fund/general purpose: $100.
  • The very small figure suggests a placeholder or baseline appropriation rather than a full, multi-program budget.

Who/What is Affected

  • The Michigan State Transportation Department would be the primary agency affected.
  • Local units of government are not allocated funds under this act (zero payments planned in the bill).

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Filed: March 12, 2025
  • Read first time: April 3, 2025
  • Referred to: Transportation (initial stage)
  • Re-referred to: Committee on Appropriations
  • June 5, 2025: Bill electronically reproduced; introduced by Rep. Donni Steele; read a first time; referred to Appropriations
  • Status as introduced: House Introduced Bill (HB 4575)

Potential Implications

  • Given the $100 total appropriation, the bill’s immediate fiscal impact is minimal. It may function as a framework or placeholder within the annual appropriations process, potentially paving the way for later amendments to address more substantive funding needs for the Transportation Department.
  • Any significant programmatic funding, projects, or operational changes would require additional appropriations or amendments beyond the current $100.

Next Steps

  • Committee consideration by the Appropriations Committee.
  • Potential amendments to adjust the funding levels and programmatic allocations before advancing to a full House vote and, subsequently, the Senate.
