Bill > HB4943

This bill prohibits state and local governments in Michigan from spending public funds in a way that would violate Section 12 of Article I of the state constitution. Specifically, the legislation aims to prevent the use of state or local funds for purposes deemed unconstitutional under that constitutional provision. While the specific details of Section 12, Article I are not provided in the bill text, the core intent is to create a legal mechanism that restricts governmental spending that might be considered contrary to constitutional protections. The bill appears to be a proactive measure to ensure fiscal responsibility and constitutional compliance by preventing the allocation of taxpayer money toward activities or legal proceedings that could potentially infringe on constitutional rights.
