Bill Summary · SB 667

Legislative bill overview

SB 667 amends Michigan's Motor Fuels Quality Act (1984 PA 44) to remove references to the Michigan Strategic Fund, which has been eliminated. This is a technical cleanup bill designed to align statutory language with the Fund's dissolution and is tied to companion bill SB 631.

Why is this important

The Michigan Strategic Fund previously managed economic development grants and loans. Removing obsolete references prevents confusion about which entity now handles functions the Fund once performed and ensures statutes reflect current government structure. This type of clarification is necessary for proper law enforcement and administration.

Potential points of contention

  • Functional transfer unclear: The bill doesn't specify which agency or fund now assumes the Strategic Fund's responsibilities under the Motor Fuels Quality Act, leaving potential gaps in authority
  • Scope of amendments: Without seeing the specific statutory changes, it's unclear whether this is truly technical cleanup or removes substantive economic development provisions
  • Coordination with SB 631: The tie-bar relationship suggests interdependent legislation; passage may depend on companion bill approval, creating procedural complexity
