Bill > HB4328

This bill is a supplemental appropriations act for Michigan's fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, providing $100 million in emergency response funding primarily focused on storm disaster relief. The funding is divided into two main components: $75 million for storm disaster relief grants and $25 million for a disaster relief contingency supplement. Counties, individual residents, businesses, and communities can access these funds to address storm damage, with allocations made on a first-come, first-served basis. Eligible expenses include emergency actions to protect public safety, debris clean-up, infrastructure repair, energy assistance, and individual dwelling repairs. The bill specifies a phased approach to fund distribution, with initial allocations covering 50% of qualified expenses, followed by additional disbursements. The funds can be used for various purposes such as federal matching funds, emergency supplies, preventing utility shutoffs, and repairing public infrastructure. Notably, any unexpended funds are designated as a work project appropriation and can be carried forward until the project is completed, with a tentative completion date of September 30, 2026. The appropriations are subject to the state's management and budget act and can be transferred between departments with legislative approval.
