CONTENT

 

The supplemental would make appropriations of $116.8 million Gross, $1.0 million General Fund/General Purpose (GF/GP) for fiscal year (FY) 2020-21 to reflect final bookclosing adjustments. These adjustments include $35.0 million GF/GP in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to replace an identical amount of overstated Federal Title IV-E revenue in various lines, $35.0 million Gross and GF/GP lapses in DHHS to offset the Title IV-E costs, $140.0 million Gross and Federal for emergency and disaster response, and $3.5 million Gross and Restricted for snowmobile trail development. These adjustments by and large reflect supplemental letter 2021-11, released by the State Budget Office (SBO) on November 19, 2021.

 

The bill also would appropriate $724.8 million Gross and $70.2 million GF/GP for FY 2021-22, with most of that money reflecting Federal grants provided to the State in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This funding includes many of the items from SBO supplemental letter 2022-1, released on November 19, 2021. Among the larger items are $10.0 million Gross and Federal for the GEER II teacher talent pipeline, $140.0 million Gross and Federal for emergency rental assistance, $150.0 million Gross and Federal for school COVID-19 testing kits, $47.1 million Gross and Federal for the substance abuse block grant, $19.7 million Gross and Federal for the mental health block grant, $14.2 million Gross and Federal for long-term care strike teams, $10.8 million Gross and Federal for refugee services, $193.2 million Gross and Federal for the Department of Transportation, with a particular focus on financial support for airports, $36.3 million Gross and GF/GP to combat environmental health threats with a particular focus on lead, and $22.0 million Gross and GF/GP for a variety of grants to specific entities.

 

Tables 1 and 2 summarize the Gross and GF/GP funding by department in the supplemental for the two fiscal years.

FISCAL IMPACT

 

The bill provides FY 2020-21 line-item appropriations of $116.8 million Gross and $1.0 million GF/GP. As noted in "CONTENT", the FY 2020-21 adjustments are tied to bookclosing issues, with the most notable item being the $35.0 million use of GF/GP to supplant overstated Federal Title IV-E revenue and the recognition of a total $35.0 million in GF/GP lapse savings in the DHHS in the Food Assistance Reinvestment, Child Care Fund, and Community Mental Health non-Medicaid Services lines to offset the Title IV-E fund shift costs. The SBO has indicated that this overstatement is an ongoing issue so it is likely that there will be a proposed adjustment for FY 2021-22 of a similar magnitude. The FY 2020-21 portion also includes a large adjustment in the Department of State Police for emergency and disaster response.

 

The FY 2021-22 portion of the bill includes line-item appropriations of $724.8 million Gross and $70.2 million GF/GP. These adjustments include numerous Federal grants recommended by the SBO, but many of the items in SBO letter 2022-1 (such as lab capacity and vaccine support) are not included. The funding also includes GF/GP funding for environmental health threats ($36.3 million), State match for Federal aging grants ($3.6 million), $5.0 million for a pediatric psychiatric unit at DeVos Children's Hospital ($5.0 million), $9.0 million to support the North American International Auto Show, $1.0 million to a convention center in St. Clair County, and other grants.

 

See Tables 3 and 4 for a list of items funded in the supplemental.

Requires that the items be used for coronavirus testing and contract tracing for staff and students, regardless of vaccine status, as determined by the school entity. Requires the DHHS, within 15 days after the bill's effective date, to inform potential recipients of the items of the option not to receive the items directly and to notify them how they may opt out, as well as the maximum amount of financial reimbursement each recipient could receive based on an equitable headcount calculation. If a potential recipient opts out within 10 business days after the bill's effective date, it may request direct financial reimbursement to cover the costs of the items that otherwise would be supplied under the bill. Potential recipients that opt out may purchase those items either directly from the DHHS or from another source. Requires the DHHS to provide financial reimbursement to potential recipients who opt out within 30 days of the request. Requires the DHHS to maintain an online list of all known acceptable options for the items covered under the section.

Sec. 404. Health and Human Services.

Language serves as a rewrite of Sec. 1971 in the FY 2021-22 DHHS budget to specifically reference that the funding go to the same vendor that received funding for a similar purpose in FY 2018-19. Creates a work project for the appropriation.

Allocates $3.75 million in funding from the At-Risk Youth Grants line item to the Michigan franchise holder of the National Jobs for America's Graduates program and requires that not more than $1.0 million be allocated to leverage non-State contributions to the same entity. Effectively rewrites Sec. 1071 of Article 5 of Public Act 87 of 2021 (the FY 2021-22 Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) budget) to allow $1.0 million previously allocated to leverage private contributions to be allocated to leverage non-State contributions.

Directs that rental assistance be paid directly to the landlord unless the landlord is unwilling to complete the application process, in which case the funding must be paid to the tenant. Requires that, if the funding is paid to the tenant, the tenant certify that he or she will pay the landlord within five days after receiving the funding. Requires LEO to establish a process to verify that landlords have received payments. Directs that landlords who are unwilling to complete the application process are not obligated to accept payments from tenants who receive COVID-19 emergency rental assistance directly. Bars the use of funds for rent owed for occupancies after September 30, 2022. Requires LEO to submit a request to the United States Department of Treasury to allow Michigan to require eligible households to comply with additional eligibility requirements related to a tenant's employment status, acceptance of employment counsel, job training, or other employment services.

Enacting Section 2. Repeals Sec. 1971 of Article 6 of Public Act 87 of 2021, which governs payments to support software for Traumatic Brain Injury services. The section would be effectively rewritten in Sec. 407 of the bill to provide more specificity on the vendor. See description of Sec. 407.

 

Enacting Section 3. Repeals Sec. 1965 of Article 6 of Public Act 87 of 2021, which funded the Behavioral Health Patient Information Technology Tool Grant line item in the FY 2021-22 budget. The supplemental would remove this funding.
