An act to make, supplement, and adjust appropriations for certain capital outlay projects, community colleges, and the department of natural resources for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024; to provide for expenditure of the appropriations; and to prescribe certain conditions for the appropriations.
The legislative text outlines appropriations for various capital outlay projects and the Department of Natural Resources for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. The total gross appropriation amounts to $27,339,100, sourced entirely from state-restricted revenues, specifically the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, with no contributions from the state general fund. The funds are allocated for a range of acquisition and development projects across multiple counties in Michigan, including land acquisitions and park developments. Notable projects include the Village of Lexington's Harbor Acquisition, North Branch Land Acquisition, and the development of Covert Park Beach, among others. The legislation mandates that the Department of Natural Resources enter into agreements with local government units to administer these grants, ensuring that the acquired or developed lands are dedicated to public outdoor recreation in perpetuity and that any converted lands are replaced. Additionally, for parcels larger than five acres, the state retains a nonparticipating 1/6 minimum royalty interest in any acquired minerals. The appropriations are subject to the management and budget act, and any unspent funds at the end of the fiscal year will be carried forward. The bill also includes provisions for lapsing funds from previously authorized projects that have been withdrawn by the grantees, making these funds available for reappropriation.
