Bill Summary · SB 658

Legislative bill overview

SB 658 amends Michigan's single state construction code law to remove references to the Michigan Strategic Fund, which has been eliminated. The bill updates statutory language in the Stille-DeRossett-Hale Act to reflect the fund's discontinuation and is tied to companion legislation (SB 631).

Why is this important

The Michigan Strategic Fund previously provided financing and incentives for economic development projects. Removing outdated statutory references prevents confusion about non-existent funding mechanisms and ensures construction code regulations accurately reflect current state economic development infrastructure.

Potential points of contention

  • Elimination impact: Removing the fund may reduce available financing options for qualifying construction and economic development projects, though alternative funding mechanisms may exist
  • Scope of changes: The tie-bar to SB 631 suggests broader fund elimination; unclear what replaces the Strategic Fund's functions or whether all affected statutes are being updated
  • Implementation details: Limited information on transition provisions or whether entities relying on Strategic Fund mechanisms have alternative compliance pathways
