Bill > HB4800

This bill modifies Michigan's management and budget act, specifically changing how work project appropriations are managed and approved. The bill reduces the time frame for work project completion from 48 to 24 months after the end of the fiscal year, and introduces a new requirement that work projects must be approved by appropriations committees within 30 days of submission. The legislation adds a new provision requiring that work projects have a specific purpose, plan, estimated completion cost, and completion date. The bill also changes reporting requirements, mandating that the director provide quarterly reports on work project accounts instead of a single annual report, and shortens the notification period for proposed work project designations from 45 to 10 days. Importantly, the bill establishes new oversight mechanisms, allowing appropriations committees to halt funding if they determine that funds have been spent for unintended purposes or not distributed in a timely manner. These changes aim to increase legislative control and transparency over state fund expenditures, ensuring that work project funds are used efficiently and for their intended purposes.
