Bill > HB4654

This bill provides a supplemental appropriation of $465,900 for disaster relief specifically targeted at Baraga County, which is a county with a population between 8,000 and 9,000 residents. The funding is designated to address flooding that occurred in May 2025 and will be appropriated through the Department of Treasury using lapsed funds from a previous work project. The appropriation is classified as a work project, which means that any unspent funds will not lapse at the end of the fiscal year but will remain available for disaster relief purposes until the project is completed, with a tentative completion date of September 30, 2027. The funds can be used through state employees, vendor contracts, or a combination of both. All appropriations are subject to the Management and Budget Act and will be managed by the state budget director. The total state spending from state sources for this fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, is $465,900, with the entire amount intended to be paid to local units of government for disaster relief efforts.
