AI Summary

This bill is a supplemental appropriations bill for Michigan's fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, specifically allocating $2 million to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development for purses and supplements related to horse racing. The funding will come from the Agriculture Equine Industry Development Fund and is designated specifically for standardbred harness horse races at licensed pari-mutuel racetracks and county fairs. If no standardbred race meeting licensee exists in the state by July 1, 2025, up to the full $2 million can be redirected to races run at county fairs featuring 2-year-old and 3-year-old Michigan-sired standardbred horses. The bill follows standard appropriations procedures, is subject to the state's Management and Budget Act, and complies with constitutional requirements for state spending. The appropriation aims to support the state's horse racing industry by providing financial support for race purses, which can help incentivize horse breeding and racing activities within Michigan.
