Bill > HB4423

This bill provides supplemental appropriations for the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, specifically allocating $3,666,900 to county veteran service grants for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. The bill is designed to restore funding to counties that experienced reductions in their grant funding, ensuring they are "held harmless" from previous funding cuts. The grants must be used to support local veteran service operations, which include advocacy, programming, and assistance for veterans, service members, their dependents, and survivors. The appropriation is designated as a work project, meaning any unexpended funds will not lapse at the end of the fiscal year and will remain available for use until the project is completed, with an estimated completion date of December 31, 2025. The funding will be drawn from the state general fund and will be subject to the management and budget act, which provides guidelines for state spending. The bill aims to maintain and support local-level veteran services by providing financial stability to county veteran service programs.
