Bill > HR0231

This resolution amends Rule 52 of the House of Representatives' Standing Rules to establish new requirements for appropriations bills and conference reports containing legislatively directed spending items. The amendment mandates that such bills cannot be voted on without proper disclosure of the sponsor, recipient, and a description of the spending item, and must comply with specific provisions related to immigration enforcement. Municipalities and universities seeking such spending items must submit detailed documentation about their policies regarding federal immigration law, including a signed certification that they do not support subverting immigration enforcement and will comply with federal immigration laws. The resolution defines a "legislatively directed spending item" as a specific appropriation to a person, organization, entity, or local government project, with exceptions for disaster responses, state agency appropriations, and formula-driven or competitive awards. Key terms like "municipality" and "university" are also precisely defined, encompassing various local government entities and educational institutions in Michigan. The rule aims to create transparency in spending and ensure compliance with federal immigration enforcement measures.
