Senate panel adopts $446.6M supplemental including Natural Resources Trust Fund projects
Summary
Senate Bill 184 S-1, an FY 2025 supplemental with gross appropriations of $446.6 million (including $101.3M general fund), was adopted and reported; it includes 85 Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund projects totaling $41.8 million and several boilerplate grant adjustments.
The Senate Appropriations Committee on April 16 adopted the S-1 substitute of Senate Bill 184, a fiscal-year 2025 supplemental appropriation bill, and reported it to the Senate floor.
Josh Seffman of the Senate Fiscal Agency briefed the committee on SB 184 S-1, saying the bill totals $446,600,000 in gross appropriations, including $101,300,000 in general fund dollars. Committee materials show the supplemental pulls together several categories: cost adjustments and federal grants that arrived after the fiscal year began; restricted-fund projects; boilerplate changes in the Treasury Department concerning revenue sharing and prosecutor grants; and a set of Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund awards.
Seffman noted the Natural Resources Trust Fund component contains 85 state and local recreation projects totaling $41,800,000, split between acquisition and development projects as the Michigan Constitution requires at least 25% for acquisition and 25% for development. He said the detailed project list is available in the fiscal analysis provided to members.
Committee action: The S-1 substitute was moved and adopted; the clerk recorded 11 yeas, 1 nay and 6 passes for the substitute adoption in the committee roll call; the bill was later reported to the floor with the same recorded result and immediate effect was recommended without objection.
Discussion vs. decisions: The committee received a fiscal briefing that described categories of supplemental spending and the list of trust-fund projects (discussion). The committee adopted the substitute and reported the supplemental as a committee action (decision).
Clarifying details: Seffman said the supplemental includes 85 Trust Fund projects totaling $41.8 million; he described the categories of spending and noted most legislative-directed boilerplate grant changes will net to zero on the balance sheet because prior appropriations would lapse.
Next steps: SB 184 proceeds to the Senate floor with a committee recommendation that it pass and take immediate effect, and members were advised to consult the fiscal analysis for project-level detail.
