Bill Summary

AI Summary

This bill amends the Glenn Steil state revenue sharing act to modify how state payments are withheld from local governments. The bill maintains existing provisions that allow the state to withhold revenue sharing payments from cities, villages, townships, or counties if they fail to submit required financial reports or audits, or if they end a fiscal year with a deficit. A significant new provision is added that specifically targets local governments with sanctuary policies: starting October 1, 2025, any city, village, township, or county that enacts or enforces a law, ordinance, policy, or rule that violates the local government sanctuary policy prohibition act or the county law enforcement protection act will have their state revenue sharing payments withheld for as long as they continue to enforce such policies. The bill requires the state treasurer to notify the legislature about local governments not meeting financial reporting requirements or needing to file financial plans. The bill is tied to the passage of two companion bills (House Bills 4338 and 4339) and uses technical amendments to clarify language about financial reporting and deficit conditions. The goal appears to be to incentivize local governments to comply with state financial reporting standards and to discourage sanctuary policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
