Protests
Senators McBroom, Bellino and Lindsey, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of Senate Bill No. 148.
Senator McBroom moved that the statement he made during the discussion of the bill be printed as his reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
Senator McBroom’s statement, in which Senators Bellino and Lindsey concurred, is as follows:
Mr. President, there’s no doubt about the emotional appeal of this legislation and about the legitimate compassion we can feel towards animals. The emotional attachments we make with our pets are very real, and I don’t downplay that at all. However, I don’t feel that mandating this program on what is already a very difficult and expensive enterprise of doing testing, and particularly when we look at the work that MSU does for agriculture, is an appropriate expense for the state to mandate on these facilities.
I’m completely okay with making it permissive, and certainly would like to encourage these facilities to do these types of programs whenever possible and feasible, but we are adding to the costs of the medications that we are constantly saying cost us too much. We are adding to other costs and programs and going to make them more difficult to facilitate right here in Michigan. I don’t think that is a wise move for us.
Finally, I think that the program potentially violates article 8, section 9 of the Michigan Constitution, which requires that fines that are assessed and collected be placed into the library fund, because it is absolutely critical that those who are granted the power to penalize not be allowed to profit from that work. So therefore I will be voting “no.”
The
motion prevailed.
Senator Polehanki’s statement is as follows:
We have an opportunity to do a really good thing today and I want to thank my colleague from the 12th District for us working together on saving hundreds of dogs and cats after their time in a research lab. Dogs and cats that are typically perfectly adoptable, but that are typically euthanized after their time in a lab.
Of the roughly 600 dogs that are euthanized every year in Michigan, a good portion of them are beagles. Why beagles? Because they are docile, trusting, and forgiving. Teddy was—is, Teddy is alive—one of 32 beagles rescued from a Michigan lab in 2019 following reports of an undercover investigation. The report revealed that Teddy and dozens of other dogs were being force-fed fungicide every day, up to a year, to test the substance’s toxicity. Thankfully, Teddy and all 32 beagles were adopted into loving homes instead of being euthanized.
These dogs don’t have names, they have tattoos. These dogs have never played on the grass. These dogs have never played with another dog. If you vote “yes” today, all that has to end. Dogs that are able to be adopted after medical research will be required to be adopted by law. I hope you can do this very heartwarming and good thing today by voting “yes.”
The following bill was read a third time:
Senate Bill No. 149, entitled
A bill to amend 1969 PA 224, entitled “An act to license and regulate dealers in and research facilities using dogs and cats for research purposes; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts,” by amending the title and sections 1 and 7 (MCL 287.381 and 287.387) and by adding section 8a.

In The Chair: President
The Senate agreed to the title as amended.
The bill was referred to the Secretary for enrollment printing and presentation to the Governor.
Senator Johnson, under her constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against concurring in the House substitute to Senate Bill No. 367 and moved that the statement she made during the discussion of the substitute be printed as her reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
Senator Johnson’s statement is as follows:
I rise to urge my colleagues to vote “no”
on concurring in the House substitute to Senate Bill No. 367. The House
substitute incorporates the content of Senate Bill No. 387 which would provide
for up to eight days for clerks in any municipality with a population of at
least 5,000 to open and begin processing absentee ballots before Election Day.
I feel it’s unnecessary as very few jurisdictions in our state currently have
trouble reporting their results shortly after Election Day has concluded, but
this will open up many more opportunities for improprieties in our elections.
Opening absentee ballots in hundreds of locations across our state for up to
eight days reduces the integrity of our elections. It also limits the ability
of candidates, political parties, and interested citizens to have the opportunity
for poll watchers and challengers to be present to observe this work in a
transparent manner.
Furthermore, the House substitute continues to give the Secretary of State unprecedented power to set procedures for early voting without going through the formal rule-making process. This eliminates very important checks and balances on our state’s elections procedures. This substitute stops transparency in government and allows election rules to be written in secret. This bill if concurred in its current form before this body will eliminate these safeguards—transparency and checks and balances—that we have had for decades. Currently and through history, rule-making in Michigan requires publicly-noticed hearings, evaluation of draft rules by the public and stakeholders, the preparation of impact analysis, the opportunity for public comment, as well as review by the bipartisan Joint Committee on Administrative Rules within the Legislature. It’s simply not right to have this time-honored system of legislators and the public’s right to know and participate stripped away in the substitute before this body.
The changes made by Proposal 2 are the biggest changes to Michigan’s elections in over half a century. There is a legal path to follow to change the rules and continue to get the people’s and legislators’ input and be transparent, but it’s being ignored. They should go through the current open and deliberate process for permanent rule-making. I will be voting “no” on concurrence in the House substitute and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
A bill to amend 1954 PA 116, entitled “Michigan election law,” by amending sections 759, 761, and 766 (MCL 168.759, 168.761, and 168.766), sections 759 and 761 as amended by 2020 PA 302 and section 766 as amended by 2018 PA 120, and by adding sections 766a and 766b; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.
The House of Representatives has amended the bill as follows:
1. Amend page 27, line 5, by striking out all of subdivision (b) and inserting:
“(b) Senate Bill No. 367.”.
The House of Representatives has passed the bill as amended, ordered that it be given immediate effect and pursuant to Joint Rule 20, inserted the full title.

Senator Albert’s statement is as follows:
This amendment is similar to one that I
offered in this chamber before, designed to remind public employees of their
rights under terms of a United States Supreme Court decision. It so happens
that this week is the anniversary of the court’s Janus decision, which
was issued on June 27th of 2018. In this decision, the Supreme Court determined
public employees cannot be forced to join a union or pay union dues. This
amendment would ensure that public employees are notified of their rights under
this decision. It’s the least we can do in this legislative package that
appears to benefit union leadership far more than schools or students. Thank
you and I urge a “yes” vote on this amendment.

The Senate agreed to the title of the
bill.
Senators Albert, Bellino and Hauck, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of House Bill Nos. 4044, 4233, and 4354.
Senators Albert and Hauck moved that the statements they made during the discussion of House Bill No. 4044 be printed as their reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
Senator Albert’s statement, in which Senator Bellino concurred, is as follows:
The legislation before us today is more focused on what union leaders want than what students need. It is clearly not focused on helping kids perform better in school or catch up on lost learning. Any claim to the contrary is a theoretical argument, and no convincing evidence to support it has been provided. What these bills do is give more leverage to labor unions and contract talks with school administrators. Will it help teachers perform better in the classroom, which might in turn help students? There is certainly nothing in these bills that will measure that or quantify it in any way.
For example, House Bill No. 4233 has an outcome that has nothing to do with improving education. Current law prohibits public school resources—taxpayer money—from being used to help a labor union collect dues and service fees from members. This bill would remove that prohibition. Would that help union officials, since school administrators might have to pick up part of their duties? Absolutely. Does it help teachers or other union-represented workers? There might be a convenience factor, but other than that I don’t see much of a tangible benefit. Does this change help kids? No. And that is the problem with this bill and this legislative package. In fact, it’s a problem with the approach the Democrats have taken to labor law all year.
These changes are designed to benefit the organization and leadership of unions. These changes are designed to help with their political fundraising. The workers themselves in this case—Michigan schoolchildren as well—are just an afterthought. Thank you and I urge a “no” vote.
Senator Hauck’s statement is as follows:
Mr. President, the headlines from the first six months of this new Democratic trifecta have not been about inflation relief, and they haven’t been about fixing the damn roads. Instead they’ve been about Democrats using their newfound power to pay back their union benefactors. “Michigan Democrats want to make it easier to give to unions (who give to Dems.)” “Michigan Democrats to tackle Right-to-Work. Unions are our top donors.” “Michigan Democrats’ early campaign finance bills bolster unions influence.” And here we go again. These bills before us are shameless giveaways that put union bosses before parents and students. Perhaps the most glaring evidence of this is the fact that they could make it harder for parents to know if their child has been placed with an underperforming teacher.
Now, Mr. President, while the new majority is busy keeping union bosses happy, there are other headlines piling up. “Michigan stuck in bottom 10 states for 4th grade reading test scores. Quote, 112 Michigan schools identify as low achieving post-pandemic test scores show. Quote, Michigan students’ test scores continue to be a downward trend. We are making all the wrong kinds of headlines, Mr. President, and the only way to turn them around in Lansing is if the Lansing Democrats start focusing on ABCs than the AFTs or the MEAs. I ask for a “no” vote on these bills.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Albert’s statement is as follows:
This bill is part of an attempt to tilt school contract negotiations heavily in favor of labor unions. That certainly should not be done at the expense of kids or parents’ rights to know about what’s happening in their community’s schools. Current state law requires parents to be notified when students are assigned to teachers who have been rated ineffective in a subject area for two years in a row. The legislation before us today would weaken that protection by making the development, format, content, and procedures of the notification subject to collective bargaining. This amendment seeks to restore this language and keep this protection on behalf of our kids and their families. We cannot allow the rights of parents to know what is going on in schools to be weakened or bargained away in any circumstances.
Senator Daley’s statement is as follows:
I rise today to speak in favor of my amendment. My amendment would return to this bill the exemption from collective bargaining that has always been applied to intergovernmental agreements. I’ve heard from many local municipalities that fear this bill will have a drastic negative impact on their ability to function if this amendment is not adopted. Townships and counties rely on intergovernmental agreements to conduct their daily business and forcing them into collective bargaining would be a huge problem for all the taxpayers of Michigan. I was hoping that this was not an intentional decision from my colleagues across the aisle, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case. My amendment would fix this oversight and I encourage your support.
Senator Cherry’s statement is as follows:
The language stricken out in the bill that currently folks are not allowed to bargain over are procedures for obtaining a contract for the transfer or function of responsibilities under an agreement—meaning an interlocal agreement. What does that mean? What that means is folks who work in our schools or our public safety professionals are not allowed to bargain when their jobs are merged with other entities to make sure they’re still employed. By adopting this amendment, we would be preventing our police officers and our firefighters from being able to bargain to preserve their jobs when a merger occurs. Quite frankly, I think we should be allowing them to sit down at the table with their local units of government to make sure they maintain their jobs and their benefits, and when the new department is created they are allowed to be employed by that department and are able to maintain job security. While I do care about the efficiency of local government, I think we should be allowing those employees to sit down at a table and have a conversation about preserving their jobs.

Whereas, Michigan craft brewers are a vibrant affirmation and expression of our entrepreneurial traditions, operating as community-based small businesses and providing full time employment for more than 16,000 jobs; and
Whereas, Our state has craft breweries in every region and more than 400 craft brewers statewide; and
Whereas, Every July, The Michigan Brewers Guild celebrates locally made beer by hosting a Summer Festival, one of five annual events; and

Whereas, Michigan ranks sixth in the nation for overall number of breweries, microbreweries, and brewpubs; and
Whereas, Craft brewers support our state’s agriculture by purchasing hops, malted barley, wheat, beet sugar, cherries, apples, and numerous other fruits, herbs, spices, and vegetables grown here, along with water sourced from the Great Lakes; and
Whereas, Michigan craft brewers promote a spirit of independence through a renaissance in handcrafted beers like those first brought to our state by European settlers and produced here by our forefathers, including Bernhard Stroh, for the enjoyment of the citizenry; and
Whereas, Striving to educate legal drinking-age residents, Michigan craft brewers convey awareness about the differences in beer flavor, aroma, color, alcohol content, body, and other complex variables, beer history, and gastronomic qualities of beer; and
Whereas, Michigan craft brewers champion the message of responsible enjoyment to their customers and work within their communities to prevent alcohol abuse and underage drinking; and
Whereas, Craft brewers in our state produce dozens of distinct styles of flavorful beers, the quality and diversity of which have made Michigan the envy of many, while also contributing to balanced trade with both the increase of state exports and the promotion of our state’s tourism; and
Whereas, The brewing industry in Michigan has seen growth and success, with a total economic contribution of more than $2.2 billion; and
Whereas, Michigan craft brewers are vested in the future, health, and welfare of their communities as employers provide a diverse array of quality local jobs.

The motion prevailed.
Senator Brinks’ statement is as follows:
Thank you, Mr. President, and before I start I want to assure the Senator from the 7th District that I am not trying to tread on your month. We still have two more days of Pride, so don’t worry.
I rise on behalf of my resolution to recognize July 2023 as Beer Month in Michigan. With more than 400 breweries statewide, July is a time to celebrate all that the growing craft beer industry brings to our economy and our way of life. It only makes sense. We have the world’s best fresh water; we have acres and acres of hops; and most importantly, innovative and dedicated brewers right here in our backyard.
Michigan breweries and the beer industry
as a whole has thrived and continues to be an important part of our communities
and our culture, supporting more than 66,000 industry jobs in Michigan with nearly
$10 billion impact, according to the National Beer Wholesalers
Association. They are committed sponsors of a broad range of valuable community
institutions and philanthropic causes, including not-for-profit associations,
humane societies, athletic teams, medical research and more.
I am proud to represent the many, many breweries in Senate District No. 29, home of Beer City, U.S.A., and I am proud to sponsor this resolution that declares July 2023 as Beer Month in the state of Michigan. I don’t know about you, but I am certainly looking forward to toasting the passage of a completed budget very soon. I hope I can find some time with each of you this summer to raise a lager, porter, wheat, stout, sour, seltzer, or non-alcoholic Michigan beer in celebration of all that we have been able to accomplish so far this term.
Thank you Mr. President, and cheers.

(11) As applicable, the legislative sponsor of a grant described in subsection (1) shall comply with all applicable laws concerning conflicts of interest in seeking a direct grant. A legislative sponsor shall not seek a grant for a recipient if a conflict of interest exists.
(12) If the department reasonably determines the funds allocated for an executed grant agreement under this section were misused or their use misrepresented by the grant recipient, the department shall not award any additional funds under that executed grant agreement and shall refer the grant for review following internal audit protocols.

(f) A requirement for reporting from the recipient to the department that provides the status of the project and an accounting of all funds expended by the recipient, as determined by the department.
(g) A claw-back provision that allows the department of treasury to recoup or otherwise collect any funds that are declined, unspent, or otherwise misused.

In The Chair: President
Senator Singh moved that the bill be given immediate effect.
The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
Pursuant to rule 1.306, Senator Victory submitted the following:
June 28, 2023
Pursuant to rule 1.306, I will be abstaining from the vote on House Bill No. 4437 out of an abundance of caution. The Health and Human Services Department budget includes funding for the Food Bank Council of Michigan. On account of my farm’s partnership with a member food bank on the council and because it may benefit my farm financially, I will not vote on House Bill No. 4437.
I ask that my comments be printed in the Journal as my required disclosure under Senate Rule 1.306. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Roger Victory
State Senator
31st District
The motion prevailed.
Senator Bumstead’s statement is as follows:
Mr. President, regardless of which side of this chamber you sit on, no budget is perfect—and this budget is no exception. It spends too much, it grows state government, it all but eliminates our record surplus, but unlike the budget the first chamber passed, it does incorporate many Republican priorities. We’re paying down debt, we’re eliminating tuition increases at our universities and community colleges, we’re making our schools and neighborhoods safer, and just as Republicans did for many years in the majority this budget makes a record investment in our schools.
Mr. President, I’d like to thank the Appropriations Chair for her partnership. We’ve come a long way from the majority rejecting 176 amendments from this side of the aisle. This budget before us incorporates many Republican priorities and I ask for a “yes” vote.
Senator Runestad’s statement is as follows:
Tonight the Democratic trifecta is pushing through a state-record, wallet-busting, boondoggle of a budget, all on the backs of hard-working Michigan families. I could go on and on about the content of the budget. There are many issues, and I could take all night giving reasons to vote against this bill. But that’s not all that is concerning. What is especially troubling is the utter lack of transparency throughout this budgeting process. Maybe it’s fitting that they’re forcing through a smoke-filled budget in the middle of smoke-filled weather. Republican vice chairs were kept in the dark from the start to near finish on this budget. Republican input was ignored throughout the committee process. House Republicans were repeatedly silenced and censored throughout the day, and we in the Senate did not even receive details on this budget until very early this evening. We are seeing plenty of smoke outside the Capitol; thanks to the Democrats we are seeing smoke and mirrors inside the Capitol.
On many parts of this budget, we don’t even know disclosure or details of how the money will be spent. Taxpayers deserve to know where their money is being spent and who is benefiting from these taxpayer funds. That is why I sponsored transparency bills to fix just that. Senate Bill Nos. 319 and 320 would require every legislator to report a written statement explaining their special projects and enhancement grant requests. Who will receive the funding? Why do they deserve the funding? How will the money be used? How is the community advocating for this funding? Why the people of Michigan should pay for it? And then they must verify that the legislator or immediate family members will not benefit from this spending. These written statements would have been made available to the public to review at least 48 hours before a vote. But we couldn’t even get a copy of the budget 48 hours before this vote. That’s $81 billion without proper oversight from across the aisle. Do you think my colleagues in the majority required these disclosures before we vote? All of us know the answer to that. The Michigan taxpayer will find out who requested the money, who gets the money, and other information about how the taxpayer dollars are spent eventually—45 days after we pass the budget. 48 hours before? No, 48 days after. Disclosure before a vote should be a minimum requiring transparency on how we are spending the people’s money. That shouldn’t be controversial.
The Democratic trifecta in Michigan is letting the taxpayer down in more ways than one. At least the majority could do was own up to it and let the people see how they’re spending their money.
Senator Anthony’s statement is as follows:
I’d like you to take a moment and just think about the
historic vote we’re about to take. I’d like to start off my remarks in the
spirit of gratitude. First, to our Appropriations Committee members—both our
chairs, our vice chairs, and our minority vice chairs. The public will never
know how many countless hours you have spent studying the intricate details of
this budget working alongside the departments, working with constituents and
interest groups, to pull forth this amazing, historic budget. Appropriations
members, I thank you for the work you did and the time you took to get us to
this point.
I’d also like to extend gratitude and thanks for the men and women who you don’t see on this floor today but without whom this budget does not happen. To our Senate Fiscal Agency team led by Kathryn and Josh, also David, Ryan, Jonah, Bruce, Michael, Elizabeth, Ellen, John, Humphrey, Bobby, and the entire Legislative Service Bureau team who again spent countless hours drafting and making sure we got to this moment.
On our budget team, I’d like to give thanks to Andy Solon and Lori Dey. These two have spent so much time making sure our priorities and the priorities of Michigan are reflected in this budget. We thank them and we honor them for their service.
For the past 40 years, too many communities, too many people, across this state have overlooked in this process. We have watched as aging infrastructure has threatened the health, safety, and well-being of Michigan residents. We’ve watched our small towns and cities be neglected. We’ve watched as businesses pass over Michigan when they think about investing in a state. Today, we have an opportunity to do better. The budget before us today in many ways is a culmination of conversations—hundreds and hundreds of conversations. Conversations on both sides of the aisle, with mayors and township supervisors; workers and small business owners; health care professionals; high school students, parents and children. Conversations in our offices, at the grocery store, the beauty salon, and at our coffee hours. And those conversations are what built this budget today. It’s what made sure the priorities of the people were embedded in this budget.
After all, this is not our budget, colleagues; it is theirs. It is a culmination of their needs and their desires. We utilized our record surplus to fix local roads and bridges, to build affordable housing, to strengthen our talent pipeline through tools like Reconnect and Going Pro. These one-time dollars were used to fully fund special education and universal school meals so that no child in the state of Michigan will go to school hungry and will have to live with the stigma of that hunger. We prioritized behavioral health services and substance abuse services at the local level. We prioritized first responders and actually did something to back up the policies related to gun violence prevention. We used these dollars to improve the health of our children and their parents and communities and the environment. Building upon our work in the criminal justice reform space, we provided local communities with additional resources to our courts, to our prosecutors, and made sure programming dollars align with the juvenile justice taskforce recommendations.
As one of my colleagues would always tell me, water is life and you will see water prioritized in this budget, whether it’s clean drinking water, water testing, creating the largest pot of money to help with water affordability in this state’s history. This budget prioritizes replacing lead service lines and addressing PFAS and also protects our water and natural resources and increases recreational opportunities to actually enjoy them.
If you look around this chamber today, you will see the most diverse Senate in this state’s history and as such, we were not shy about infusing and embedding an equity lens in every part of this budget. We made sure minority businesses and entrepreneurs, minority farmers and contractors, we prioritized environmental justice and finally gave real resources to the racial disparities task force led by our Lieutenant Governor.
I know the narrative will be that perhaps we spent too much federal funding, but if you talk to men, women, and children in the state who have not received their fair share, they would beg to differ, but we did so in a fiscally-responsible manner. We utilized this once-in-a-generation funding to actually pay down debt and put money in the state’s savings accounts. Now, we are not just envisioning a better future for Michigan. We are funding it, we’re materializing it, and we do so responsibly.
Lastly I will say that this year early, we promised to build a bipartisan budget. Today I can say we kept that promise. Michiganders, we don’t drive on Republican roads and we don’t go to Democratic elementary schools. We are one Michigan and this budget reflects that. Finally, we have taken major steps to address transparency in this budget. For the first time in the state’s history, we are making investments more easily accessible so taxpayers can see where their money is being utilized.
I started my remarks talking about the various conversations that led us to this point, but those conversations don’t end with tonight’s vote because we know the issues that are affecting our state will continue long after we’ve pushed the button. These are not the end of those conversations; they’re only the beginning and I hope the policies we do in this space in the future budgets to come will take seriously the least of these in the state of Michigan, that we don’t just take a victory lap today, but continue to have courageous conversations in every corner of our state. I think it’s something our citizens both expect and deserve.
It has truly been an honor to help lead these budget negotiations and obviously I’m asking for a “yes” vote tonight.
Senator Brinks’ statement is as follows:
I am proud to rise in support of the bill
before us. This budget is historic, and it is historic for all the right
reasons. It is a budget that reflects the needs of Michiganders; it is a budget
that reflects the values of Michiganders; and it is a budget that shows when we
prioritize investments in our people and the places that we love, we can build
a state where everyone has the opportunity to be successful.
There are many adjectives that describe this budget: people-focused, pragmatic, informed, responsible, transformational. To get there, it required everyone to engage in some give and take, myself included, and that’s the way it should be. And the result is a budget that balances key priorities and important, specific areas of need for our individual districts and departments with common, unifying threads.
All winter and spring, the Senate Democratic majority has continued to put people at the forefront of all our budget and policy priorities, and we are extremely proud to deliver this fiscally-sound, people-centered state budget. It is a tremendous honor to hold the position I do, and to lead this group of talented people. This quality budget—the result of many, many conversations across the aisle, across the rotunda, across Capitol Avenue with the Governor’s office, and in each of our 38 districts—is an achievement that we can all be very proud of.
There are many, many thank yous to go around, including Governor Whitmer, Speaker Tate, Republican Leaders Nesbitt and Hall, and their teams. The good people of the Legislative Service Bureau have literally been working around the clock to complete the massive physical document that is the budget. They are meticulous and tireless and they have done an incredible job keeping track of every line in every bill. Likewise, the Senate Fiscal team, led by by Kathryn Summers and Josh Sefton, have been expert resources for us in crafting a budget that truly works for the people of Michigan.
Thank you to members of both caucuses’ policy and communication teams. On my staff, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Nancy Green, Desmond Miller, Alex Rossman and their staff—Adam, David, Collin, Martín, Steven, Mikhail, Jennifer, Allison, Patrick, Brianna, Rosie, Charlotte, Dan, Emily, Erica, the Jaimes, Jeff, Matt, Shannon, and Virginia. And none of this could have been done without my office staff, DeKeea, Kate, Gabby, Reese, Ashly, and Teresa, who kept everything running on time—as best we could.
All of you who have been involved in this process know that Lori Dey and Andy Solon are the true horsepower behind these budgets, and their skill and dedication is unmatched. Thank you for sacrificing your Junes, and Mays, and Aprils, in the name of getting this done. You have put your all into making this a product that we can all be proud of, and you were very successful.
To anyone who may have made the mistake of underestimating the new majority’s ability to get this job done both well and on time, you didn’t know about the secret weapon that I have in my chief of staff, Kathleen O’Reilly Farhat. Thank you, Kathleen.
To the members on Appropriations, the subcommittee chairs and your staff—thank you for treating this job with the seriousness it deserves. Budgets are a values statement and I hope each of you see your values reflected in the bills that we are about to vote on.
Lastly, I want to acknowledge the incredible leadership of the Senator from the 21st District. Chairwoman, you have been a force of nature and never once got distracted from the end goal, and you made it look easy. Thank you for raising your hand and taking on this herculean task, and doing it with so much grace.
In our earliest conversations about this budget, we knew that we wanted the final product to be focused on making it easier to raise a family in Michigan, promoting safe and thriving neighborhoods, earning a decent paycheck and keeping more of it in your pocket at the end of the month, and ensuring that we can keep prioritizing the things that matter most to us here in Michigan. And I am so proud that you can see those day‑one values woven throughout this budget. Thank you, Mr. President. And colleagues, I urge your “yes” vote.

Beginning July 1, 2021, this subdivision is subject to section 8c. It is the intent of the legislature that the immediately preceding sentence apply retroactively and is effective July 1, 2021. For the purposes of this subdivision, for a pupil enrolled in a cyber school, all of the following apply with regard to the participation requirement as described in this subdivision:
(i) Except as
otherwise provided in this subdivision, the pupil shall participate in each
scheduled course on pupil membership count day or supplemental count day, as applicable.
If the pupil is absent on pupil membership count day or supplemental count day,
as applicable, the pupil must attend and participate in class during the next
10 consecutive school days if the absence was unexcused, or during the next 30
calendar days if the absence was excused.
(ii) For a pupil who is not learning sequentially, 1 or more of the following must be met on pupil membership count day or supplemental count day, as applicable, for each scheduled course to satisfy the participation requirement under this subdivision:

(B) The pupil logged into a lesson or lesson activity and the login can be documented.
(C) The pupil and teacher engaged in a subject-oriented telephone conversation.
(D) There is documentation of an email dialogue between the pupil and teacher.
(E) There is documentation of activity or work between the learning coach and pupil.

(A) Except as otherwise provided in this sub-subparagraph, the pupil and the teacher of record or mentor complete a 2-way interaction for 1 course during the week on which pupil membership count day or supplemental count day, as applicable, occurs, and the 3 consecutive weeks following that week. However, if a school break is scheduled during any of the weeks described in this sub-subparagraph that is 4 or more days in length or instruction has been canceled districtwide during any of the weeks described in this sub-subparagraph for 3 or more school days, the district is not required to ensure that the pupil and the teacher of record or mentor completed a 2-way interaction for that week. As used in this sub-subparagraph:
(I) “2-way interaction” means the communication that occurs between the teacher of record or mentor and pupil, where 1 party initiates communication and a response from the other party follows that communication. Responses as described in this sub-sub-subparagraph must be to the communication initiated by the teacher of record or mentor, and not some other action taken. This interaction may occur through, but is not limited to, means such as email, telephone, instant messaging, or face-to-face conversation. A parent- or legal-guardian-facilitated 2-way interaction is considered a 2-way interaction if the pupil is in any of grades K to 5 and does not yet possess the skills necessary to participate in 2-way interactions unassisted. The interactions described in this sub-sub-subparagraph must relate to a virtual course on the pupil’s schedule and pertain to course content or progress.
(II) “Mentor” means a professional employee of the district who monitors the pupil’s progress, ensures the pupil has access to needed technology, is available for assistance, and ensures access to the teacher of record. A mentor may also be the teacher of record if the mentor meets the definition of a teacher of record under this sub-subparagraph and the district is the provider for the course.
(III) “Teacher of record” means a teacher to whom all of the following apply:
(1) He or she The
teacher is responsible for providing instruction, determining instructional
methods for each pupil, diagnosing learning needs, assessing pupil learning,
prescribing intervention strategies and modifying lessons, reporting outcomes,
and evaluating the effects of instruction and support strategies. The teacher
of record may coordinate the distribution and assignment of the
responsibilities described in this sub-sub-sub-subparagraph with other teachers
participating in the instructional process for a course.
(2) He or she The
teacher is certified for the grade level or is working under a valid
substitute permit, authorization, or approval issued by the department.
(3) He or she The
teacher has a personnel identification code provided by the center.
(IV) “Week” means a period that starts on Wednesday and ends the following Tuesday.
(B) The pupil completes a combination of 1 or more of the following activities for each scheduled course on pupil membership count day or supplemental count day, as applicable:

(III) Documented completion of a course lesson or lesson activity.
(IV) Documented pupil access to an ongoing lesson, which does not include a login.
(V) Documented physical attendance on pupil membership count day or supplemental count day, as applicable, in each scheduled course, if the pupil will attend at least 50% of the instructional time for each scheduled course on-site, face-to-face with the teacher of record. As used in this sub-sub-subparagraph, “teacher of record” means that term as defined in subparagraph (iii)(A).
(iv) For purposes of subparagraph (iii), each scheduled course currently being attempted by the pupil, rather than every course on the pupil’s schedule for the entire term, is considered a part of each scheduled course for the pupil.
(i) For a new district or public school academy beginning its operation after December 31, 1994, membership for the first 2 full or partial fiscal years of operation is determined as follows:
(i) If operations begin before the pupil membership count day for the fiscal year, membership is the average number of full-time equated pupils in grades K to 12 actually enrolled and in regular daily attendance on the pupil membership count day for the current school year and on the supplemental count day for the current school year, as determined by the department and calculated by adding the number of pupils registered for attendance on the pupil membership count day plus pupils received by transfer and minus pupils lost as defined by rules promulgated by the superintendent, and as corrected by a subsequent department audit, plus the final audited count from the supplemental count day for the current school year, and dividing that sum by 2.
(ii) If operations begin after the pupil membership count day for the fiscal year and not later than the supplemental count day for the fiscal year, membership is the final audited count of the number of full-time equated pupils in grades K to 12 actually enrolled and in regular daily attendance on the supplemental count day for the current school year.
(j) If a district is the authorizing body for a public school academy, then, in the first school year in which pupils are counted in membership on the pupil membership count day in the public school academy, the determination of the district’s membership excludes from the district’s pupil count for the immediately preceding supplemental count day any pupils who are counted in the public school academy on that first pupil membership count day who were also counted in the district on the immediately preceding supplemental count day.
(k) For an extended school year program approved by the superintendent, a pupil enrolled, but not scheduled to be in regular daily attendance, on a pupil membership count day, is counted in membership.
(l) To be counted in membership, a pupil must meet the minimum age requirement to be eligible to attend school under section 1147 of the revised school code, MCL 380.1147, and must be less than 20 years of age on September 1 of the school year except as follows:
(i) A special education pupil who is enrolled and receiving instruction in a special education program or service approved by the department, who does not have a high school diploma, and who is less than 26 years of age as of September 1 of the current school year is counted in membership.
(ii) A pupil who is determined by the department to meet all of the following may be counted in membership:
(A) Is enrolled in a public school academy or an alternative education high school diploma program, that is primarily focused on educating pupils with extreme barriers to education, such as being homeless as that term is defined under 42 USC 11302.
(B) Had dropped out of school.
(C) Is less than 22 years of age as of September 1 of the current school year.
(iii) If a child
does not meet the minimum age requirement to be eligible to attend school for
that school year under section 1147 of the revised school code, MCL 380.1147,
but will be 5 years of age not later than December 1 of that school year, the
district may count the child in membership for that school year if the parent
or legal guardian has notified the district in writing that he or she the
parent or legal guardian intends to enroll the child in kindergarten for
that school year.
(m) An individual who has achieved a high school diploma is not counted in membership. An individual who has achieved a high school equivalency certificate is not counted in membership unless the individual is a student with a disability as that term is defined in R 340.1702 of the Michigan Administrative Code. An individual participating in a job training program funded under former section 107a or a jobs program funded under former section 107b, administered by the department of labor and economic opportunity, or participating in any successor of either of those 2 programs, is not counted in membership.
(n) If a pupil counted in membership in a public school academy is also educated by a district or intermediate district as part of a cooperative education program, the pupil is counted in membership only in the public school academy unless a written agreement signed by all parties designates the party or parties in which the pupil is counted in membership, and the instructional time scheduled for the pupil in the district or intermediate district is included in the full-time equated membership determination under subdivision (q) and section 101. However, for pupils receiving instruction in both a public school academy and in a district or intermediate district but not as a part of a cooperative education program, the following apply:
(i) If the public school academy provides instruction for at least 1/2 of the class hours required under section 101, the public school academy receives as its prorated share of the full-time equated membership for each of those pupils an amount equal to 1 times the product of the hours of instruction the public school academy provides divided by the number of hours required under section 101 for full-time equivalency, and the remainder of the full-time membership for each of those pupils is allocated to the district or intermediate district providing the remainder of the hours of instruction.
(ii) If the public
school academy provides instruction for less than 1/2 of the class hours
required under section 101, the district or intermediate district providing the
remainder of the hours of instruction receives as its prorated share of the
full-time equated membership for each of those pupils an amount equal to 1
times the product of the hours of instruction the district or intermediate
district provides divided by the number of hours required under section 101 for
full-time equivalency, and the remainder of the full-time membership for each
of those pupils is allocated to the public school academy.
(o) An individual less than 16 years of age as of September 1 of the current school year who is being educated in an alternative education program is not counted in membership if there are also adult education participants being educated in the same program or classroom.
(p) The department shall give a uniform interpretation of full-time and part-time memberships.
(q) The number of class
hours used to calculate full-time equated memberships must be consistent with
section 101. In determining full-time equated memberships for pupils who are
enrolled in a postsecondary institution or for pupils engaged in an internship
or work experience under section 1279h of the revised school code, MCL
380.1279h, a pupil is not considered to be less than a full-time equated pupil
solely because of the effect of his or her the pupil’s postsecondary
enrollment or engagement in the internship or work experience, including
necessary travel time, on the number of class hours provided by the district to
the pupil.
(r) Full-time equated memberships for pupils in kindergarten are determined by dividing the number of instructional hours scheduled and provided per year per kindergarten pupil by the same number used for determining full-time equated memberships for pupils in grades 1 to 12. However, to the extent allowable under federal law, for a district or public school academy that provides evidence satisfactory to the department that it used federal title I money in the 2 immediately preceding school fiscal years to fund full-time kindergarten, full-time equated memberships for pupils in kindergarten are determined by dividing the number of class hours scheduled and provided per year per kindergarten pupil by a number equal to 1/2 the number used for determining full-time equated memberships for pupils in grades 1 to 12. The change in the counting of full-time equated memberships for pupils in kindergarten that took effect for 2012-2013 is not a mandate.
(s) For a district or a public school academy that has pupils enrolled in a grade level that was not offered by the district or public school academy in the immediately preceding school year, the number of pupils enrolled in that grade level to be counted in membership is the average of the number of those pupils enrolled and in regular daily attendance on the pupil membership count day and the supplemental count day of the current school year. Membership is calculated by adding the number of pupils registered for attendance in that grade level on the pupil membership count day plus pupils received by transfer and minus pupils lost as defined by rules promulgated by the superintendent, and as corrected by subsequent department audit, plus the final audited count from the supplemental count day for the current school year, and dividing that sum by 2.
(t) A pupil enrolled in a cooperative education program may be counted in membership in the pupil’s district of residence with the written approval of all parties to the cooperative agreement.
(u) If, as a result of a disciplinary action, a district determines through the district’s alternative or disciplinary education program that the best instructional placement for a pupil is in the pupil’s home or otherwise apart from the general school population, if that placement is authorized in writing by the district superintendent and district alternative or disciplinary education supervisor, and if the district provides appropriate instruction as described in this subdivision to the pupil at the pupil’s home or otherwise apart from the general school population, the district may count the pupil in membership on a pro rata basis, with the proration based on the number of hours of instruction the district actually provides to the pupil divided by the number of hours required under section 101 for full-time equivalency. For the purposes of this subdivision, a district is considered to be providing appropriate instruction if all of the following are met:
(i) The district provides at least 2 nonconsecutive hours of instruction per week to the pupil at the pupil’s home or otherwise apart from the general school population under the supervision of a certificated teacher.
(ii) The district provides instructional materials, resources, and supplies that are comparable to those otherwise provided in the district’s alternative education program.
(iii) Course content is comparable to that in the district’s alternative education program.
(iv) Credit earned is awarded to the pupil and placed on the pupil’s transcript.
(v) If a pupil was enrolled in a public school academy on the pupil membership count day, if the public school academy’s contract with its authorizing body is revoked or the public school academy otherwise ceases to operate, and if the pupil enrolls in a district within 45 days after the pupil membership count day, the department shall adjust the district’s pupil count for the pupil membership count day to include the pupil in the count.
(w) For a public school
academy that has been in operation for at least 2 years and that suspended
operations for at least 1 semester and is resuming operations, membership is
the sum of the product of .90 times the number of full-time equated pupils in
grades K to 12 actually enrolled and in regular daily attendance on the first
pupil membership count day or supplemental count day, whichever is first,
occurring after operations resume, plus the product of .10 times the final
audited count from the most recent pupil membership count day or supplemental
count day that occurred before suspending operations, as determined by the superintendent.
(x) If a district’s membership for a particular fiscal year, as otherwise calculated under this subsection, would be less than 1,550 pupils, the district has 4.5 or fewer pupils per square mile, as determined by the department, and the district does not receive funding under section 22d(2), the district’s membership is considered to be the membership figure calculated under this subdivision. If a district educates and counts in its membership pupils in grades 9 to 12 who reside in a contiguous district that does not operate grades 9 to 12 and if 1 or both of the affected districts request the department to use the determination allowed under this sentence, the department shall include the square mileage of both districts in determining the number of pupils per square mile for each of the districts for the purposes of this subdivision. If a district has established a community engagement advisory committee in partnership with the department of treasury, is required to submit a deficit elimination plan or an enhanced deficit elimination plan under section 1220 of the revised school code, MCL 380.1220, and is located in a city with a population between 9,000 and 11,000, as determined by the department, that is in a county with a population between 150,000 and 160,000, as determined by the department, the district’s membership is considered to be the membership figure calculated under this subdivision. The membership figure calculated under this subdivision is the greater of the following:
(i) The average of the district’s membership for the 3-fiscal-year period ending with that fiscal year, calculated by adding the district’s actual membership for each of those 3 fiscal years, as otherwise calculated under this subsection, and dividing the sum of those 3 membership figures by 3.
(ii) The district’s actual membership for that fiscal year as otherwise calculated under this subsection.
(y) Full-time equated memberships for special education pupils who are not enrolled in kindergarten but are enrolled in a classroom program under R 340.1754 of the Michigan Administrative Code are determined by dividing the number of class hours scheduled and provided per year by 450. Full-time equated memberships for special education pupils who are not enrolled in kindergarten but are receiving early childhood special education services under R 340.1755 or R 340.1862 of the Michigan Administrative Code are determined by dividing the number of hours of service scheduled and provided per year per pupil by 180.
(z) A pupil of a district that begins its school year after Labor Day who is enrolled in an intermediate district program that begins before Labor Day is not considered to be less than a full-time pupil solely due to instructional time scheduled but not attended by the pupil before Labor Day.
(aa) For the first year in which a pupil is counted in membership on the pupil membership count day in a middle college program, the membership is the average of the full-time equated membership on the pupil membership count day and on the supplemental count day for the current school year, as determined by the department. If a pupil described in this subdivision was counted in membership by the operating district on the immediately preceding supplemental count day, the pupil is excluded from the district’s immediately preceding supplemental count for the purposes of determining the district’s membership.
(bb) A district or public school academy that educates a pupil who attends a United States Olympic Education Center may count the pupil in membership regardless of whether or not the pupil is a resident of this state.
(cc) A pupil enrolled in a district other than the pupil’s district of residence under section 1148(2) of the revised school code, MCL 380.1148, is counted in the educating district.
(dd) For a pupil enrolled in a dropout recovery program that meets the requirements of section 23a, the pupil is counted as 1/12 of a full-time equated membership for each month that the district operating the program reports that the pupil was enrolled in the program and was in full attendance. However, if the special membership counting provisions under this subdivision and the operation of the other membership counting provisions under this subsection result in a pupil being counted as more than 1.0 FTE in a fiscal year, the payment made for the pupil under sections 22a and 22b must not be based on more than 1.0 FTE for that pupil, and any portion of an FTE for that pupil that exceeds 1.0 is instead paid under section 25g. The district operating the program shall report to the center the number of pupils who were enrolled in the program and were in full attendance for a month not later than 30 days after the end of the month. A district shall not report a pupil as being in full attendance for a month unless both of the following are met:
(i) A personalized learning plan is in place on or before the first school day of the month for the first month the pupil participates in the program.
(ii) The pupil meets the district’s definition under section 23a of satisfactory monthly progress for that month or, if the pupil does not meet that definition of satisfactory monthly progress for that month, the pupil did meet that definition of satisfactory monthly progress in the immediately preceding month and appropriate interventions, as defined by the district, are implemented within 10 school days after it is determined that the pupil does not meet that definition of satisfactory monthly progress.
(ee) A pupil participating
in a virtual course under section 21f is counted in membership in the district
enrolling the pupil.
(ff) If a public school academy that is not in its first or second year of operation closes at the end of a school year and does not reopen for the next school year, the department shall adjust the membership count of the district or other public school academy in which a former pupil of the closed public school academy enrolls and is in regular daily attendance for the next school year to ensure that the district or other public school academy receives the same amount of membership aid for the pupil as if the pupil were counted in the district or other public school academy on the supplemental count day of the preceding school year.
(gg) If a special
education pupil is expelled under section 1311 or 1311a of the revised school
code, MCL 380.1311 and 380.1311a, and is not in attendance on the pupil
membership count day because of the expulsion, and if the pupil remains
enrolled in the district and resumes regular daily attendance during that
school year, the district’s membership is adjusted to count the pupil in
membership as if he or she the pupil had been in attendance on
the pupil membership count day.
(hh) A pupil enrolled in a community district is counted in membership in the community district.
(ii) A part-time pupil enrolled in a nonpublic school in grades K to 12 in accordance with section 166b must not be counted as more than 0.75 of a full-time equated membership.
(jj) A district that borders another state or a public school academy that operates at least grades 9 to 12 and is located within 20 miles of a border with another state may count in membership a pupil who is enrolled in a course at a college or university that is located in the bordering state and within 20 miles of the border with this state if all of the following are met:
(i) The pupil would meet the definition of an eligible student under the postsecondary enrollment options act, 1996 PA 160, MCL 388.511 to 388.524, if the course were an eligible course under that act.
(ii) The course in which the pupil is enrolled would meet the definition of an eligible course under the postsecondary enrollment options act, 1996 PA 160, MCL 388.511 to 388.524, if the course were provided by an eligible postsecondary institution under that act.
(iii) The department determines that the college or university is an institution that, in the other state, fulfills a function comparable to a state university or community college, as those terms are defined in section 3 of the postsecondary enrollment options act, 1996 PA 160, MCL 388.513, or is an independent nonprofit degree-granting college or university.
(iv) The district or public school academy pays for a portion of the pupil’s tuition at the college or university in an amount equal to the eligible charges that the district or public school academy would pay to an eligible postsecondary institution under the postsecondary enrollment options act, 1996 PA 160, MCL 388.511 to 388.524, as if the course were an eligible course under that act.
(v) The district or public school academy awards high school credit to a pupil who successfully completes a course as described in this subdivision.
(kk) A pupil enrolled in a middle college program may be counted for more than a total of 1.0 full-time equated membership for any of the school years in which the pupil is enrolled in the middle college program, but the total full-time equated membership for that pupil for all of the school years in which the pupil is enrolled in high school must not be greater than 5.00 full-time equated membership if the pupil is enrolled in more than the minimum number of instructional days and hours required under section 101 and the pupil is expected to complete the 5-year program with both a high school diploma and at least 60 transferable college credits or is expected to earn an associate’s degree in fewer than 5 years. A pupil who graduates with both a high school diploma and at least 60 transferable college credits or an associate degree at least 1 semester early is considered to have completed the middle college program in fewer than 5 years.
(ll) If a district’s or public school academy’s membership for a particular fiscal year, as otherwise calculated under this subsection, includes pupils counted in membership who are enrolled under section 166b, all of the following apply for the purposes of this subdivision:
(i) If the district’s or public school academy’s membership for pupils counted under section 166b equals or exceeds 5% of the district’s or public school academy’s membership for pupils not counted in membership under section 166b in the immediately preceding fiscal year, then the growth in the district’s or public school academy’s membership for pupils counted under section 166b must not exceed 10%.
(ii) If the district’s or public school academy’s membership for pupils counted under section 166b is less than 5% of the district’s or public school academy’s membership for pupils not counted in membership under section 166b in the immediately preceding fiscal year, then the district’s or public school academy’s membership for pupils counted under section 166b must not exceed the greater of the following:
(A) Five percent of the district’s or public school academy’s membership for pupils not counted in membership under section 166b.

(2) If the result of an audit conducted by or for the department affects the current fiscal year membership, the department shall adjust affected payments in the current fiscal year. A deduction due to an adjustment made as a result of an audit conducted by or for the department, or as a result of information obtained by the department from the district, an intermediate district, the department of treasury, or the office of auditor general, must be deducted from the district’s apportionments when the adjustment is finalized. At the request of the district and upon the district presenting evidence satisfactory to the department of the hardship, the department may grant up to an additional 4 years for the adjustment and may advance payments to the district otherwise authorized under this article if the district would otherwise experience a significant hardship in satisfying its financial obligations. However, a district that presented satisfactory evidence of hardship and was undergoing an extended adjustment during 2018-2019 may continue to use the period of extended adjustment as originally granted by the department.
(3) If, based on an audit by the department or the department’s designee or because of new or updated information received by the department, the department determines that the amount paid to a district or intermediate district under this article for the current fiscal year or a prior fiscal year was incorrect, the department shall make the appropriate deduction or payment in the district’s or intermediate district’s allocation in the next apportionment after the adjustment is finalized. The department shall calculate the deduction or payment according to the law in effect in the fiscal year in which the incorrect amount was paid. If the district does not receive an allocation for the fiscal year or if the allocation is not sufficient to pay the amount of any deduction, the amount of any deduction otherwise applicable must be satisfied from the proceeds of a loan to the district under the emergency municipal loan act, 1980 PA 243, MCL 141.931 to 141.942, or from the proceeds of millage levied or pledged under section 1211 of the revised school code, MCL 380.1211, as determined by the department.
(4) If the department makes an adjustment under this section based in whole or in part on a membership audit finding that a district or intermediate district employed an educator in violation of certification requirements under the revised school code and rules promulgated by the department, the department shall prorate the adjustment according to the period of noncompliance with the certification requirements.

fiscal year) or (the product of the district’s foundation allowance for the
immediately preceding fiscal year times the percentage increase in the United
States Consumer Price Index in the calendar year ending in the immediately
preceding fiscal year as reported by the May revenue estimating conference
conducted under section 367b of the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL

(d) (f) For a district that has a
foundation allowance that is not a whole dollar amount, the department shall
round the district’s foundation allowance up to the nearest whole dollar.
(4) Except as otherwise
provided in this subsection, the state portion of a district’s foundation

(6) Except as otherwise
provided in this subsection, for pupils in membership, other than special
education pupils, in a public school academy, the allocation calculated under
this section is an amount per membership pupil other than special education
pupils in the public school academy equal to , for 2021-2022, the
minimum foundation allowance specified in subsection (1)(b) and, for 2022-2023,
the target foundation allowance specified in subsection (1)(c). (1),
or, for a public school academy that was issued a contract under section 552 of
the revised school code, MCL 380.552, to operate as a school of excellence that
is a cyber school, $9,150.00. Notwithstanding section 101, for a public
school academy that begins operations after the pupil membership count day, the
amount per membership pupil calculated under this subsection must be adjusted
by multiplying that amount per membership pupil by the number of hours of pupil
instruction provided by the public school academy after it begins operations,
as determined by the department, divided by the minimum number of hours of
pupil instruction required under section 101(3). The result of this calculation
must not exceed the amount per membership pupil otherwise calculated under this
subsection.
(7) For pupils in membership, other than special education pupils, in a community district, the allocation calculated under this section is an amount per membership pupil other than special education pupils in the community district equal to the foundation allowance of the qualifying school district, as described in section 12b of the revised school code, MCL 380.12b, that is located within the same geographic area as the community district.
(8) Subject to subsection (4), for a district that is formed or reconfigured after June 1, 2002 by consolidation of 2 or more districts or by annexation, the resulting district’s foundation allowance under this section beginning after the effective date of the consolidation or annexation is the lesser of the sum of the average of the foundation allowances of each of the original or affected districts, calculated as provided in this section, weighted as to the percentage of pupils in total membership in the resulting district who reside in the geographic area of each of the original or affected districts plus $100.00 or the highest foundation allowance among the original or affected districts. This subsection does not apply to a receiving district unless there is a subsequent consolidation or annexation that affects the district. The calculation under this subsection must take into account a district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m.
(9) The department shall round each fraction used in making calculations under this section to the fourth decimal place and shall round the dollar amount of an increase in the target foundation allowance to the nearest whole dollar.
(10) For 2022-2023, state payments related to payment of the foundation allowance for a special education pupil are not calculated under this section but are instead calculated as follows:
(a) Twenty-five percent is calculated under section 51a.
(b) Seventy-five percent is calculated under section 51e.
(11) (10) Except as otherwise
provided in this subsection, For 2023-2024, state payments related to payment of the
foundation allowance for a special education pupil are not calculated under
this section but are instead calculated under section 51a and section
51e. All of the following apply with regard to state payments related to
payment of the foundation allowance for a special education pupil:
(a) For 2022-2023, state
payments described in this subsection are not calculated under this section but
are instead calculated as follows:
(i) Twenty-five
percent is calculated under section 51a.
(ii) Seventy-five percent is
calculated under section 51e.
(b) It is the intent of
the legislature that, in future fiscal years, 100% of state payments described
in this subsection will be calculated under this section.
(12) (11) To assist the legislature
in determining the target foundation allowance for the subsequent fiscal year,
each revenue estimating conference conducted under section 367b of the
management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1367b, must calculate a pupil
membership factor, a revenue adjustment factor, and an index as follows:
(a) The pupil membership factor is computed by dividing the estimated membership in the school year ending in the current fiscal year, excluding intermediate district membership, by the estimated membership for the school year ending in the subsequent fiscal year, excluding intermediate district membership. If a consensus membership factor is not determined at the revenue estimating conference, the principals of the revenue estimating conference shall report their estimates to the house and senate subcommittees responsible for school aid appropriations not later than 7 days after the conclusion of the revenue conference.
(b) The revenue adjustment
factor is computed by dividing the sum of the estimated total state school aid
fund revenue for the subsequent fiscal year plus the estimated total state
school aid fund revenue for the current fiscal year, adjusted for any change in
the rate or base of a tax the proceeds of which are deposited in that fund and
excluding money transferred into that fund from the countercyclical budget and
economic stabilization fund under the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431,
MCL 18.1101 to 18.1594, by the sum of the estimated total school aid fund
revenue for the current fiscal year plus the estimated total state school aid
fund revenue for the immediately preceding fiscal year, adjusted for any change
in the rate or base of a tax the proceeds of which are deposited in that fund.
If a consensus revenue factor is not determined at the revenue estimating
conference, the principals of the revenue estimating conference shall report
their estimates to the house and senate subcommittees responsible for school
aid appropriations not later than 7 days after the conclusion of the
revenue conference.
(c) The index is calculated by multiplying the pupil membership factor by the revenue adjustment factor. If a consensus index is not determined at the revenue estimating conference, the principals of the revenue estimating conference shall report their estimates to the house and senate subcommittees responsible for state school aid appropriations not later than 7 days after the conclusion of the revenue conference.
(13) (12) Payments to districts and
public school academies are not made under this section. Rather, the
calculations under this section are used to determine the amount of state
payments under section 22b.
(14) (13) If an amendment to section
2 of article VIII of the state constitution of 1963 allowing state aid to some
or all nonpublic schools is approved by the voters of this state, each
foundation allowance or per-pupil payment calculation under this section may be
reduced.

legislature that an amount not to exceed $18,000,000.00 is used in 2023-2024,
an amount not to exceed $9,000,000.00 is used in 2024-2025, and $0.00 is used
in 2025-2026.
(2) The funding under this subsection is from the allocation under subsection (1). A district is eligible for funding under this subsection if the district received a payment under this section as it was in effect for 2013‑2014. A district was eligible for funding in 2013-2014 if the sum of the following was less than $5.00:

statewide catalog of virtual courses maintained by the Michigan Virtual
University pursuant to section 98. The primary district shall also provide on
its publicly accessible website a link to the statewide catalog of virtual
courses maintained by the Michigan Virtual University. Unless the pupil is at
least age 18 or is an emancipated minor, a pupil must not be enrolled in a virtual course that meets virtually for more than 15 days in a school year without the consent of the pupil’s
parent or legal guardian.

The pupil may appeal the denial by submitting a letter to the superintendent of the intermediate district in which the pupil’s primary district is located. The letter of appeal must include the reason provided by the primary district for not enrolling the pupil and the reason why the pupil is claiming that the enrollment should be approved. The intermediate district superintendent or designee shall respond to the appeal within 5 days after it is received. If the intermediate district superintendent or designee determines that the denial of enrollment does not meet 1 or more of the reasons specified in subsection (5), the primary district shall enroll the pupil in the virtual course.

(8) To provide a virtual course under this section, a community college shall ensure that each virtual course it provides under this section generates postsecondary credit.
(9) For any virtual course a pupil enrolls in under this section, the pupil’s primary district must assign to the pupil a mentor and shall supply the provider with the mentor’s contact information.
(10) For a pupil enrolled in 1 or more virtual courses, the primary district shall use foundation allowance or per-pupil funds calculated under section 20 to pay for the expenses associated with the virtual course or courses. A primary district is not required to pay toward the cost of a virtual course an amount that exceeds 6.67% of the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year as calculated under section 20.

Sec. 22a. (1) From the state school aid fund money
appropriated in section 11, there is allocated an amount not to exceed $4,492,000,000.00
$4,327,000,000.00 for 2021-2022 2022-2023 and there is
allocated an amount not to exceed $4,376,000,000.00 $4,206,000,000.00
for 2022-2023 2023-2024 for payments to districts and
qualifying public school academies to guarantee each district and qualifying
public school academy an amount equal to its 1994-95 total state and local per-pupil
revenue for school operating purposes under section 11 of article IX of the
state constitution of 1963. Pursuant to section 11 of article IX of the state
constitution of 1963, this guarantee does not apply to a district in a year in
which the district levies a millage rate for school district operating purposes
less than it levied in 1994. However, subsection (2) applies to calculating the
payments under this section. Funds allocated under this section that are not
expended in the fiscal year for which they were allocated, as determined by the
department, may be used to supplement the allocations under sections 22b and
51c to fully fund those allocations for the same fiscal year. For each fund
transfer as described in the immediately preceding sentence that occurs, the
state budget director shall send notification of the transfer to the house and
senate appropriations subcommittees on state school aid and the house and
senate fiscal agencies by not later than 14 calendar days after the transfer
occurs.
(2) To ensure that a district receives an amount equal to the district’s 1994-95 total state and local per‑pupil revenue for school operating purposes, there is allocated to each district a state portion of the district’s 1994‑95 foundation allowance in an amount calculated as follows:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the state portion of a district’s 1994-95 foundation allowance is an amount equal to the district’s 1994-95 foundation allowance or $6,500.00, whichever is less, minus the difference between the sum of the product of the taxable value per membership pupil of all property in the district that is nonexempt property times the district’s certified mills and, for a district with certified mills exceeding 12, the product of the taxable value per membership pupil of property in the district that is commercial personal property times the certified mills minus 12 mills and the quotient of the ad valorem property tax revenue of the district captured under tax increment financing acts divided by the district’s membership. For a district that has a millage reduction required under section 31 of article IX of the state constitution of 1963, the department shall calculate the state portion of the district’s foundation allowance as if that reduction did not occur. For a receiving district, if school operating taxes are to be levied on behalf of a dissolved district that has been attached in whole or in part to the receiving district to satisfy debt obligations of the dissolved district under section 12 of the revised school code, MCL 380.12, taxable value per membership pupil of all property in the receiving district that is nonexempt property and taxable value per membership pupil of property in the receiving district that is commercial personal property do not include property within the geographic area of the dissolved district; ad valorem property tax revenue of the receiving district captured under tax increment financing acts does not include ad valorem property tax revenue captured within the geographic boundaries of the dissolved district under tax increment financing acts; and certified mills do not include the certified mills of the dissolved district. For a community district, the department shall reduce the allocation as otherwise calculated under this section by an amount equal to the amount of local school operating tax revenue that would otherwise be due to the community district if not for the operation of section 386 of the revised school code, MCL 380.386, and the amount of this reduction is offset by the increase in funding under section 22b(2).
(b) For a district that had a 1994-95 foundation allowance greater than $6,500.00, the state payment under this subsection is the sum of the amount calculated under subdivision (a) plus the amount calculated under this subdivision. The amount calculated under this subdivision must be equal to the difference between the district’s 1994-95 foundation allowance minus $6,500.00 and the current year hold harmless school operating taxes per pupil. If the result of the calculation under subdivision (a) is negative, the negative amount is an offset against any state payment calculated under this subdivision. If the result of a calculation under this subdivision is negative, there is not a state payment or a deduction under this subdivision. The taxable values per membership pupil used in the calculations under this subdivision are as adjusted by ad valorem property tax revenue captured under tax increment financing acts divided by the district’s membership. For a receiving district, if school operating taxes are to be levied on behalf of a dissolved district that has been attached in whole or in part to the receiving district to satisfy debt obligations of the dissolved district under section 12 of the revised school code, MCL 380.12, ad valorem property tax revenue captured under tax increment financing acts do not include ad valorem property tax revenue captured within the geographic boundaries of the dissolved district under tax increment financing acts.
(3) For pupils in membership in a qualifying public school academy, there is allocated under this section to the authorizing body that is the fiscal agent for the qualifying public school academy for forwarding to the qualifying public school academy an amount equal to the 1994-95 per-pupil payment to the qualifying public school academy under section 20.
(4) A district or qualifying public school academy may use funds allocated under this section in conjunction with any federal funds for which the district or qualifying public school academy otherwise would be eligible.
(5) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, for a district that is formed or reconfigured after June 1, 2000 by consolidation of 2 or more districts or by annexation, the resulting district’s 1994-95 foundation allowance under this section beginning after the effective date of the consolidation or annexation is the average of the 1994-95 foundation allowances of each of the original or affected districts, calculated as provided in this section, weighted as to the percentage of pupils in total membership in the resulting district in the fiscal year in which the consolidation takes place who reside in the geographic area of each of the original districts. If an affected district’s 1994-95 foundation allowance is less than the 1994-95 basic foundation allowance, the amount of that district’s 1994-95 foundation allowance is considered for the purpose of calculations under this subsection to be equal to the amount of the 1994-95 basic foundation allowance. This subsection does not apply to a receiving district unless there is a subsequent consolidation or annexation that affects the district.

increase must be paid from the community district education trust fund
allocation in subsection (1) in order to offset the absence of local school
operating revenue in a community district in the funding of the state portion
of the foundation allowance under section 20(4).

(10) If payments resulting from a final determination by the local claims review board or a court of competent jurisdiction that there has been a violation of section 29 of article IX of the state constitution of 1963 exceed the amount allocated for discretionary nonmandated payments under this section, the legislature shall provide for adequate funding for this state’s constitutional obligations at its next legislative session.
(11) If a lawsuit challenging payments made to districts related to costs reimbursed by federal title XIX Medicaid funds is filed against this state, then, for the purpose of addressing potential liability under such a lawsuit, the state budget director may place funds allocated under this section in escrow or allocate money from the funds otherwise allocated under this section, up to a maximum of 50% of the amount allocated in subsection (1). If funds are placed in escrow under this subsection, those funds are a work project appropriation and the funds are carried forward into the following fiscal year. The purpose of the work project is to provide for any payments that may be awarded to districts as a result of the litigation. The work project is completed upon resolution of the litigation. In addition, this state reserves the right to terminate future federal title XIX Medicaid reimbursement payments to districts if the amount or allocation of reimbursed funds is challenged in the lawsuit.

(2) For 2021-2022 only,
for a district that has combined state and local revenue per membership pupil
under sections 20 and 20m that is greater than the target foundation allowance
under section 20 for the current fiscal year and that, for the immediately
preceding fiscal year, had combined state and local revenue per membership
pupil under section 20 and 20m that was greater than the target foundation
allowance under section 20 that was in effect for that fiscal year, the
allocation under subsection (4) is an amount equal to 35% of the allocation for
which it would otherwise be eligible under subsection (4) before any proration
under subsection (15). It is the intent of the legislature that, if revenues
are sufficient and if districts with combined state and local revenue per
membership pupil under sections 20 and 20m that is below the target foundation
allowance are receiving nonprorated payments under subsection (4), the
percentage in the immediately preceding sentence must be increased annually
until it reaches 100%. If a district has combined state and local revenue per
membership pupil under sections 20 and 20m that is greater than the target
foundation allowance under section 20 for the current fiscal year, but for the
2018-2019 fiscal year had combined state and local revenue per membership pupil

section 20 that was in effect for the 2018-2019 fiscal year, the district shall
receive an amount per pupil equal to 11.5% of the target foundation allowance,
as applied under subsection (4), and before any proration under subsection
(15). This subsection does not apply beginning in 2022-2023.
(2) (3) For a district or public
school academy to be eligible to receive funding under this section, other than
funding under subsection (7) or
(8), the district or public school academy, for
grades K to 12, must comply with the requirements under section 1280f of the
revised school code, MCL 380.1280f, and shall use resources to address early
literacy and numeracy, and for at least grades K to 12 or, if the district or
public school academy does not operate all of grades K to 12, for all of the
grades it operates, must implement a multi-tiered system of supports that is an
evidence based evidence-based framework that uses data driven
problem solving to integrate academic and behavioral instruction and that uses
intervention delivered to all pupils in varying intensities based on pupil
needs. The multi-tiered system of supports described in this subsection must
provide at least all of the following essential components:
(a) Team-based leadership.
(b) A tiered delivery system.
(c) Selection and implementation of instruction, interventions, and supports.
(d) A comprehensive
screening and assessment system.
(e) Continuous data-based decision making.
(3) (4) From the state school aid
fund money allocated under subsection (1), there is allocated for 2021-2022 2023-2024
an amount not to exceed $512,500,000.00 and, for 2022-2023, an amount
not to exceed $747,500,000.00 $952,000,000.00 to continue a weighted
foundation per pupil payment for districts and public school academies
enrolling economically disadvantaged pupils. The department shall pay under
this subsection to each eligible district or eligible public school academy an
amount per pupil equal to 11.5% of a percentage calculated under
subsection (4) multiplied by the target foundation allowance for the
following, as applicable:
(a) Except as otherwise provided under subdivision (b), (c), or (d) the greater of the following:
(i) The number of membership pupils in the district or public school academy who are determined to be economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in the form and manner prescribed by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the pupil membership count day of the immediately preceding fiscal year.
(ii) If the district or public school academy is in the community eligibility program, the number of pupils determined to be eligible based on the product of the identified student percentage multiplied by the total number of pupils in the district or public school academy, as reported to the center in the form and manner prescribed by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the pupil membership count day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. These calculations must be made at the building level. This subparagraph only applies to an eligible district or eligible public school academy for the fiscal year immediately following the first fiscal year in which it is in the community eligibility program. As used in this subparagraph, “identified student percentage” means the quotient of the number of pupils in an eligible district or eligible public school academy who are determined to be economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in a form and manner prescribed by the center, not later than the fifth Wednesday after the pupil membership count day in the fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year in which the eligible district or eligible public school academy is in the community eligibility program, divided by the total number of pupils counted in an eligible district or eligible public school academy on the pupil membership count day in the fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year in which the eligible district or eligible public school academy is in the community eligibility program.
(b) If the district or public school academy began operations as a district or public school academy after the pupil membership count day of the immediately preceding school year, the number of membership pupils in the district or public school academy who are determined to be economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in the form and manner prescribed by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the pupil membership count day of the current fiscal year.
(c) If the district or public school academy began operations as a district or public school academy after the pupil membership count day of the current fiscal year, the number of membership pupils in the district or public school academy who are determined to be economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in the form and manner prescribed by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the supplemental count day of the current fiscal year.
(d) If, for a particular fiscal year, the number of membership pupils in a district or public school academy who are determined under subdivision (a) to be economically disadvantaged or to be eligible based on the identified student percentage varies by more than 20 percentage points from the number of those pupils in the district or public school academy as calculated under subdivision (a) for the immediately preceding fiscal year caused by an egregious reporting error by the district or public school academy, the department may choose to have the calculations under subdivision (a) instead be made using the number of membership pupils in the district or public school academy who are determined to be economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in the form and manner prescribed by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the supplemental count day of the immediately preceding fiscal year.
(4) Each district or public school academy must be assigned to an opportunity index score each fiscal year, the value of which is the quotient of the number of economically disadvantaged pupils as determined under subsection (3) for the district or public school academy and the total number of pupils in the district or public school academy in the immediately preceding fiscal year, multiplied by 100 and rounded up to the nearest whole number. Each district or public school academy must be assigned an opportunity index band as follows:
(a) A district or public
school academy with an opportunity index score greater than or equal to 0 but
less than 20 must be assigned to band 1 and shall receive reimbursement under
subsection (3) at a rate of at least 35.0% and less than 36.0%. The reimbursement
rate under this subdivision must be an amount equal to the district’s
opportunity index score minus 1, multiplied by the band adjustment factor
applicable to this subdivision, plus 35.0%.
(b) A district or public school academy with an opportunity index score greater than or equal to 20 but less than 44 must be assigned to band 2 and shall receive reimbursement under subsection (3) at a rate of at least 36.0% and less than 37.5%.

(c) A district or public school academy with an opportunity index score greater than or equal to 44 but less than 59 must be assigned to band 3 and shall receive reimbursement under subsection (3) at a rate of at least 37.5% and less than 39.0%. The reimbursement rate under this subdivision must be an amount equal to the district’s opportunity index score minus 44, multiplied by the band adjustment factor applicable to this subdivision, plus 37.5%.
(d) A district or public school academy with an opportunity index score greater than or equal to 59 but less than 73 must be assigned to band 4 and shall receive reimbursement under subsection (3) at a rate of at least 39.0% and less than 42.0%. The reimbursement rate under this subdivision must be an amount equal to the district’s opportunity index score minus 59, multiplied by the band adjustment factor applicable to this subdivision, plus 39.0%.
(e) A district or public school academy with an opportunity index score greater than or equal to 73 but less than 85 must be assigned to band 5 and shall receive reimbursement under subsection (3) at a rate of at least 42.0% and less than 47.0%. The reimbursement rate under this subdivision must be an amount equal to the district’s opportunity index score minus 73, multiplied by the band adjustment factor applicable to this subdivision, plus 42.0%.
(f) A district or public school academy with an opportunity index score greater than or equal to 85 must be assigned to band 6 and shall receive reimbursement under subsection (3) at a rate of 47.0%.
(g) As used in this subsection, “band adjustment factor” means an amount equal to the difference between the lowest and highest reimbursement bounds for each band, divided by the number of possible opportunity index scores in that band.
(5) Except
as otherwise provided in this section, a district or public school academy
receiving funding under this section shall use that money only to provide
instructional programs and direct noninstructional services, including, but not
limited to, medical, mental health, or counseling services, for at-risk pupils;
for school health clinics; and for the purposes of subsection (6), (7),
or (8). In addition, a district that is a school
district of the first class or a district or public school academy in which at
least 50% of the pupils in membership were determined to be economically
disadvantaged in the immediately preceding state fiscal year, as determined and
reported as described in subsection (4), (3), may use the funds
it receives under this section for school security or school parent liaison
personnel. The uses of the funds described in the immediately preceding
sentence must align to the needs assessment and the multi-tiered system of
supports model and, for funds spent on parent liaison personnel, must connect
parents to the school community. A district or public school academy shall not
use any of the money received under this section for administrative costs. The
instruction or direct noninstructional services provided under this section may
be conducted before or after regular school hours or by adding extra school
days to the school year.
(6) A district or public school academy that receives funds under this section and that operates a school breakfast program under section 1272a of the revised school code, MCL 380.1272a, shall use from the funds received under this section an amount, not to exceed $10.00 per pupil for whom the district or public school academy receives funds under this section, necessary to pay for costs associated with the operation of the school breakfast program.
(7) From the
state school aid fund money allocated under subsection (1), there is allocated
for 2021-2022 2023-2024 an amount not to exceed $8,000,000.00
and there is allocated for 2022-2023 an amount not to exceed $33,000,000.00
to support primary health care services provided
to children and adolescents up to age 21. These funds must be expended in a
form and manner determined jointly by the department and the department of
health and human services. When making funding decisions for new adolescent
health centers under this subsection, the department and department of health
and human services shall prioritize support for primary health care services in
unserved counties as of the effective date of the amendatory act that added
this sentence. July 14, 2022. An amount not to exceed 4% of the
funds allocated for 2022-2023 2023-2024 under this subsection
must be made available for technical support and coordination services from a
nonprofit organization exclusively dedicated to serving adolescent health
centers in this state and that has a membership that includes federally
qualified health centers, local public health departments, hospital systems,
and public school districts. As a requirement of being awarded the funds under
this subsection as prescribed under this subsection, a nonprofit organization
described in this subsection shall make readily available technical support and
coordination services to all child and adolescent health centers in this state.
(8) From the
state school aid fund money allocated under subsection (1), there is allocated
for 2021-2022 2023-2024 an amount not to exceed $5,150,000.00 and
there is allocated for 2022-2023 an amount not to exceed $5,150,000.00 for
the state portion of the hearing and vision screenings as described in part 93

under this subsection on a schedule determined by the department.
(9) Each
district or public school academy receiving funds under this section shall
submit to the department by July 15 of each fiscal year a report, in the form

each program conducted or services performed by the district or public school
academy using funds under this section, the amount of funds under this section
allocated to each of those programs or services, the total number of at risk
at-risk pupils served by each of those programs or services, and the

families program. In prescribing the form and manner of the report, the
department shall ensure that districts are allowed to expend funds received
under this section on any activities that are permissible under this section.
If a district or public school academy does not comply with this subsection,
the department shall withhold an amount equal to the August payment due under
this section until the district or public school academy complies with this
subsection. If the district or public school academy does not comply with this
subsection by the end of the fiscal year, the withheld funds are forfeited to

(10) In order to receive funds under this section, a district or public school academy must allow access for the department or the department’s designee to audit all records related to the program for which it receives those funds. The district or public school academy shall reimburse the state for all disallowances found in the audit.
(11) Subject to subsections (6), (7), and (8), for schools in which more than 40% of pupils are identified as at-risk, a district or public school academy may use the funds it receives under this section to implement tier 1, evidence-based practices in schoolwide reforms that are guided by the district’s comprehensive needs assessment and are included in the district improvement plan. Schoolwide reforms must include parent and community supports, activities, and services, that may include the pathways to potential program created by the department of health and human services or the communities in schools program. As used in this subsection, “tier 1, evidence-based practices” means research based instruction and classroom interventions that are available to all learners and effectively meet the needs of most pupils.
(12) A district or public school academy that receives funds under this section may use those funds to provide research based professional development and to implement a coaching model that supports the multi-tiered system of supports framework. Professional development may be provided to district and school leadership and teachers and must be aligned to professional learning standards; integrated into district, school building, and classroom practices; and solely related to the following:
(a) Implementing the
multi-tiered system of supports required in subsection (3) (2) with

subsection (4) or (17) may use funds received under subsection (4) or (17) for
support staff providing services to at-risk pupils. For 2022-2023, 2023-2024 a district or
public school academy that receives funds under subsection (4) (3) may
use funds received under subsection (4) (3) for support staff
providing services to at-risk pupils.
(14) A
district or public school academy that receives funds under this section may
use up to 10% of the funds received under this section to provide
evidence-based instruction for pre-kindergarten instructional and
noninstructional services to children who meet at least 1 of the criteria in
subsection (20)(a)(i) to (x).(18)(a)(i) to
(x).
(15) If Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if necessary, the department shall prorate payments under
this section, except payments under subsection (7), (8), or, for 2021-2022,
(17), (7) or (8), by reducing the amount of the allocation as otherwise
calculated under this section by an equal percentage per district. Subject to the availability of funds, if proration is
necessary under this subsection, the department must ensure that no district
receives an amount less than 11.5% of the target foundation for each
economically disadvantaged pupil enrolled in the district.
(16) If a district is dissolved pursuant to section 12 of the revised school code, MCL 380.12, the intermediate district to which the dissolved district was constituent shall determine the estimated number of pupils that are economically disadvantaged and that are enrolled in each of the other districts within the intermediate district and provide that estimate to the department for the purposes of distributing funds under this section within 60 days after the district is declared dissolved.
(17) From the state school

payments under subsection (7) or (8), would have been more than the district’s
or public school academy’s allocation under this section for 2021-2022 as
calculated under subsection (4) only and as adjusted under subsection (15). The
allocation for each district or public school academy under this subsection is
an amount equal to its allocation under this section for 2020-2021 minus its
allocation as otherwise calculated under subsection (4) for 2021-2022 as
adjusted by subsection (15), using in those calculations the 2017-2018 number
of pupils determined to be economically disadvantaged. However, if the
allocation as otherwise calculated under this subsection would have been less
than $0.00, the allocation under this subsection is $0.00. If necessary, and
before any proration required under section 296, the department shall prorate
payments under this subsection by reducing the amount of the allocation as
otherwise calculated under this subsection by an equal percentage per district
or public school academy. Any unexpended funds under this subsection are to be
distributed through payments made under subsection (4) as provided under
subsection (4), but those funds must not be factored into calculating payments
under this subsection. This subsection does not apply beginning in 2022-2023.

intermediate districts for 28.6138% of total approved costs of special
education, excluding costs reimbursed under section 53a, and 70.4165% of
total approved costs of special education transportation. Allocations under this subsection are made
as follows:
(a) For 2021-2022, the
department shall calculate the initial amount allocated to a district under
this subsection toward fulfilling the specified percentages by multiplying the
district’s special education pupil membership, excluding pupils described in
subsection (11), times the foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s
district of residence, plus the amount of the district’s per-pupil allocation
under section 20m, not to exceed the target foundation allowance for the
current fiscal year, or, for a special education pupil in membership in a
district that is a public school academy, times an amount equal to the amount
per membership pupil calculated under section 20(6). For an intermediate
district, the amount allocated under this subdivision toward fulfilling the
specified percentages is an amount per special education membership pupil,
excluding pupils described in subsection (11), and is calculated in the same
manner as for a district, using the foundation allowance under section 20 of
the pupil’s district of residence, not to exceed the target foundation
allowance for the current fiscal year, and that district’s per-pupil allocation
under section 20m.
(b) For 2022-2023, the
department shall calculate the initial amount allocated to a district under
this subsection toward fulfilling the specified percentages by multiplying the
district’s special education pupil membership, excluding pupils described in
subsection (11), times 25% of the foundation allowance under section 20 of the
pupil’s district of residence, plus 25% of the amount of the district’s
per-pupil allocation under section 20m, not to exceed 25% of the target
foundation allowance for the current fiscal year, or, for a special education
pupil in membership in a district that is a public school academy, times an
amount equal to 25% of the amount per membership pupil calculated under section
20(6). For an intermediate district, the amount allocated under this
subdivision toward fulfilling the specified percentages is an amount per
special education membership pupil, excluding pupils described in subsection
(11), and is calculated in the same manner as for a district, using 25% of the
foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s district of residence, not
to exceed 25% of the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year,
and that district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m.
(c) After the allocations
under subdivision (a) or (b), as applicable, the department shall pay a
district or intermediate district for which the payments calculated under
subdivision (a) or (b), as applicable, do not fulfill the specified percentages
the amount necessary to achieve the specified percentages for the district or
intermediate district.
(a) For 2022-2023, the department shall calculate the initial amount allocated to a district under this subsection toward fulfilling the specified percentages by multiplying the district’s special education pupil membership, excluding pupils described in subsection (11), times 25% of the foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s district of residence, plus 25% of the amount of the district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m, not to exceed 25% of the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year, or, for a special education pupil in membership in a district that is a public school academy, times an amount equal to 25% of the amount per membership pupil calculated under section 20(6). For an intermediate district, the amount allocated under this subdivision toward fulfilling the specified percentages is an amount per special education membership pupil, excluding pupils described in subsection (11), and is calculated in the same manner as for a district, using 25% of the foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s district of residence, not to exceed 25% of the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year, and that district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m.
(b) For 2022-2023, after the allocation under subdivision (a), the department shall pay a district or intermediate district for which the payments calculated under subdivision (a) do not fulfill the specified percentages the amount necessary to achieve the specified percentages for the district or intermediate district.
(c) Beginning in 2023-2024, subdivisions (a) and (b) no longer apply.
(3) From the funds
allocated under subsection (1), there is allocated for 2021-2022 2022-2023
an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00 and there is allocated for 2022-2023
2023-2024 an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00 to make payments to
districts and intermediate districts under this subsection. If the amount
allocated to a district or intermediate district for the fiscal year under
subsection (2)(c) (2) is less than the sum of the amounts
allocated to the district or intermediate district for 1996-97 under sections
52 and 58, there is allocated to the district or intermediate district for the
fiscal year an amount equal to that difference, adjusted by applying the same
proration factor that was used in the distribution of funds under section 52 in
1996-97 as adjusted to the district’s or intermediate district’s necessary
costs of special education used in calculations for the fiscal year. This
adjustment is to reflect reductions in special education program operations or
services between 1996-97 and subsequent fiscal years. The department shall make
adjustments for reductions in special education program operations or services
in a manner determined by the department and shall include adjustments for
program or service shifts.
(4) If the department
determines that the sum of the amounts allocated for a fiscal year to a
district or intermediate district under subsection (2) is not sufficient to
fulfill the specified percentages in subsection (2), then the department
shall pay the shortfall to the district or intermediate district during the
fiscal year beginning on the October 1 following the determination and shall
adjust payments under subsection (3) as necessary. If the department determines
that the sum of the amounts allocated for a fiscal year to a district or
intermediate district under subsection (2) exceeds the sum of the amount
necessary to fulfill the specified percentages in subsection (2), then the
department shall deduct the amount of the excess from the district’s or
intermediate district’s payments under this article for the fiscal year
beginning on the October 1 following the determination and shall adjust
payments under subsection (3) as necessary. However, for 2021-2022 only, if
the amount allocated under subsection (2)(a) in itself exceeds the amount
necessary to fulfill the specified percentages in subsection (2), there is no
deduction under this subsection. Beginning in 2022-2023, if the amount
allocated under subsection (2)(b) in itself exceeds the amount necessary to
fulfill the specified percentages in subsection (2), there is no deduction
under this subsection.For 2022-2023, if the amount allocated under
subsection (2)(a) in itself exceeds the amount necessary to fulfill the
specified percentages in subsection (2), there is no deduction under this
subsection.
(5) State funds are allocated on a total approved cost basis. Federal funds are allocated under applicable federal requirements.
(6) From the amount
allocated in subsection (1), there is allocated an amount not to exceed
$2,200,000.00 for 2021-2022 2022-2023 and there is allocated an
amount not to exceed $2,200,000.00 for 2022-2023 2023-2024 to
reimburse 100% of the net increase in necessary costs incurred by a district or
intermediate district in implementing the revisions in the administrative rules
for special education that became effective on July 1, 1987. As used in
this subsection, “net increase in necessary costs” means the necessary
additional costs incurred solely because of new or revised requirements in the
administrative rules minus cost savings permitted in implementing the revised
rules. The department shall determine net increase in necessary costs in a manner
specified by the department.
(7) For purposes of this section and sections 51b to 58, all of the following apply:
(a) “Total approved costs of special education” are determined in a manner specified by the department and may include indirect costs, but must not exceed 115% of approved direct costs for section 52 and section 53a programs. The total approved costs include salary and other compensation for all approved special education personnel for the program, including payments for Social Security and Medicare and public school employee retirement system contributions. The total approved costs do not include salaries or other compensation paid to administrative personnel who are not special education personnel as that term is defined in section 6 of the revised school code, MCL 380.6. Costs reimbursed by federal funds, other than those federal funds included in the allocation made under this article, are not included. Special education approved personnel not utilized full time in the evaluation of students or in the delivery of special education programs, ancillary, and other related services are reimbursed under this section only for that portion of time actually spent providing these programs and services, with the exception of special education programs and services provided to youth placed in child caring institutions or juvenile detention programs approved by the department to provide an on-grounds education program.
(b) A district or intermediate district that employed special education support services staff to provide special education support services in 2003-2004 or in a subsequent fiscal year and that in a fiscal year after 2003-2004 receives the same type of support services from another district or intermediate district shall report the cost of those support services for special education reimbursement purposes under this article. This subdivision does not prohibit the transfer of special education classroom teachers and special education classroom aides if the pupils counted in membership associated with those special education classroom teachers and special education classroom aides are transferred and counted in membership in the other district or intermediate district in conjunction with the transfer of those teachers and aides.
(c) If the department determines before bookclosing for a fiscal year that the amounts allocated for that fiscal year under subsections (2), (3), (6), and (11) and sections 53a, 54, and 56 will exceed expenditures for that fiscal year under subsections (2), (3), (6), and (11) and sections 53a, 54, and 56, then for a district or intermediate district whose reimbursement for that fiscal year would otherwise be affected by subdivision (b), subdivision (b) does not apply to the calculation of the reimbursement for that district or intermediate district and the department shall calculate reimbursement for that district or intermediate district in the same manner as it was for 2003-2004. If the amount of the excess allocations under subsections (2), (3), (6), and (11) and sections 53a, 54, and 56 is not sufficient to fully fund the calculation of reimbursement to those districts and intermediate districts under this subdivision, then the department shall prorate calculations and resulting reimbursement under this subdivision on an equal percentage basis. The amount of reimbursement under this subdivision for a fiscal year must not exceed $2,000,000.00 for any district or intermediate district.
(d) Reimbursement for ancillary and other related services, as that term is defined by R 340.1701c of the Michigan Administrative Code, is not provided when those services are covered by and available through private group health insurance carriers or federal reimbursed program sources unless the department and district or intermediate district agree otherwise and that agreement is approved by the state budget director. Expenses, other than the incidental expense of filing, must not be borne by the parent. In addition, the filing of claims must not delay the education of a pupil. A district or intermediate district is responsible for payment of a deductible amount and for an advance payment required until the time a claim is paid.
(e) If an intermediate district purchases a special education pupil transportation service from a constituent district that was previously purchased from a private entity; if the purchase from the constituent district is at a lower cost, adjusted for changes in fuel costs; and if the cost shift from the intermediate district to the constituent does not result in any net change in the revenue the constituent district receives from payments under sections 22b and 51c, then upon application by the intermediate district, the department shall direct the intermediate district to continue to report the cost associated with the specific identified special education pupil transportation service and shall adjust the costs reported by the constituent district to remove the cost associated with that specific service.
(8) A pupil who is enrolled in a full-time special education program conducted or administered by an intermediate district or a pupil who is enrolled in the Michigan Schools for the Deaf and Blind is not included in the membership count of a district, but is counted in membership in the intermediate district of residence.
(9) Special education personnel transferred from 1 district to another to implement the revised school code are entitled to the rights, benefits, and tenure to which the individual would otherwise be entitled had that individual been employed by the receiving district originally.
(10) If a district or
intermediate district uses money received under this section for a purpose
other than the purpose or purposes for which the money is allocated, the
department may require the district or intermediate district to refund the
amount of money received. The department shall deposit money that is refunded
in the state treasury to the credit of the state school aid fund.
(11) From the funds
allocated in subsection (1), there is allocated the amount necessary, estimated
at $1,600,000.00 $2,000,000.00 for 2021-2022 2022-2023 and
estimated at $1,500,000.00 $2,000,000.00 for 2022-2023, 2023-2024,
to pay the foundation allowances for pupils described in this subsection.
The department shall calculate the allocation to a district under this
subsection by multiplying the number of pupils described in this subsection who
are counted in membership in the district times the sum of the foundation
allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s district of residence, plus the
amount of the district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m, not to exceed
the target foundation allowance for the current fiscal year, or, for a pupil
described in this subsection who is counted in membership in a district that is
a public school academy, times an amount equal to the amount per membership
pupil under section 20(6). The department shall calculate the allocation to an
intermediate district under this subsection in the same manner as for a
district, using the foundation allowance under section 20 of the pupil’s
district of residence not to exceed the target foundation allowance for the
current fiscal year and that district’s per-pupil allocation under section 20m.
This subsection applies to all of the following pupils:
(a) Pupils described in section 53a.
(b) Pupils counted in membership in an intermediate district who are not special education pupils and are served by the intermediate district in a juvenile detention or child caring facility.
(c) Pupils with an emotional impairment counted in membership by an intermediate district and provided educational services by the department of health and human services.
(12) If it is determined that funds allocated under subsection (2) or (11) or under section 51c will not be expended, funds up to the amount necessary and available may be used to supplement the allocations under subsection (2) or (11) or under section 51c in order to fully fund those allocations. After payments under subsections (2) and (11) and section 51c, the department shall expend the remaining funds from the allocation in subsection (1) in the following order:
(a) One hundred percent of the reimbursement required under section 53a.
(b) One hundred percent of the reimbursement required under subsection (6).
(c) One hundred percent of the payment required under section 54.
(d) One hundred percent of the payment required under subsection (3).
(e) One hundred percent of the payments under section 56.
(13) The allocations under subsections (2), (3), and (11) are allocations to intermediate districts only and are not allocations to districts, but instead are calculations used only to determine the state payments under section 22b.
(14) If a public school academy that is not a cyber school, as that term is defined in section 551 of the revised school code, MCL 380.551, enrolls under this section a pupil who resides outside of the intermediate district in which the public school academy is located and who is eligible for special education programs and services according to statute or rule, or who is a child with a disability, as that term is defined under the individuals with disabilities education act, Public Law 108-446, the intermediate district in which the public school academy is located and the public school academy shall enter into a written agreement with the intermediate district in which the pupil resides for the purpose of providing the pupil with a free appropriate public education, and the written agreement must include at least an agreement on the responsibility for the payment of the added costs of special education programs and services for the pupil. If the public school academy that enrolls the pupil does not enter into an agreement under this subsection, the public school academy shall not charge the pupil’s resident intermediate district or the intermediate district in which the public school academy is located the added costs of special education programs and services for the pupil, and the public school academy is not eligible for any payouts based on the funding formula outlined in the resident or nonresident intermediate district’s plan. If a pupil is not enrolled in a public school academy under this subsection, the provision of special education programs and services and the payment of the added costs of special education programs and services for a pupil described in this subsection are the responsibility of the district and intermediate district in which the pupil resides.
(15) For the purpose of
receiving its federal allocation under part B of the individuals with
disabilities education act, Public Law 108-446, a public school academy that is
a cyber school, as that term is defined in section 551 of the revised school
code, MCL 380.551, and is in compliance with section 553a of the revised school
code, MCL 380.553a, directly receives the federal allocation under part B of
the individuals with disabilities education act, Public Law 108-446, from the
intermediate district in which the cyber school is located, as the
subrecipient. If the intermediate district does not distribute the funds
described in this subsection to the cyber school by the part B application due
date of July 1, the department may distribute the funds described in this
subsection directly to the cyber school according to the formula prescribed in
34 CFR 300.705 and 34 CFR 300.816. Beginning July 1, 2021, this subsection is

(2) From the allocation
under section 51a(1), there is allocated an amount not to exceed $40,008,100.00
for 2021-2022 and an amount not to exceed $40,008,100.00 for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 to reimburse intermediate
districts levying millages for special education under part 30 of the revised
school code, MCL 380.1711 to 380.1741. The purpose, use, and expenditure of the
reimbursement are limited as if the funds were generated by these millages and
governed by the intermediate district plan adopted under article 3 of the
revised school code, MCL 380.1701 to 380.1761. As a condition of receiving
funds under this section, an intermediate district distributing any portion of
special education millage funds to its constituent districts must submit for
departmental approval and implement a distribution plan.
(3) Except as otherwise
provided in this subsection, reimbursement for those millages levied in
2020-2021 is made in 2021-2022 at an amount per 2020-2021 membership pupil
computed by subtracting from $218,200.00 the 2020-2021 taxable value behind
each membership pupil and multiplying the resulting difference by the 2020-2021
millage levied, and then subtracting from that amount the 2020-2021 local
community stabilization share revenue for special education purposes behind
each membership pupil for reimbursement of personal property exemption loss
under the local community stabilization authority act, 2014 PA 86, MCL 123.1341
to 123.1362. Reimbursement in 2021-2022 for an intermediate district whose
2017-2018 allocation was affected by the operation of subsection (5) is an
amount equal to 102.5% of the 2017-2018 allocation to that intermediate
district.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, reimbursement for those millages levied in 2021-2022 is made in 2022-2023 at an amount per 2021-2022 membership pupil computed by subtracting from $229,600.00 the 2021-2022 taxable value behind each membership pupil and multiplying the resulting difference by the 2021-2022 millage levied, and then subtracting from that amount the 2021-2022 local community stabilization share revenue for special education purposes and 2021-2022 tax increment revenues captured by a brownfield redevelopment authority created under the brownfield redevelopment financing act, 1996 PA 381, MCL 125.2651 to 125.2670, behind each membership pupil for reimbursement of personal property exemption loss under the local community stabilization authority act, 2014 PA 86, MCL 123.1341 to 123.1362, and reimbursements paid under section 26d for tax increment revenues captured by a brownfield redevelopment authority under the brownfield redevelopment financing act, 1996 PA 381, MCL 125.2651 to 125.2670. For the purposes of the calculation described in the previous sentence only, for an intermediate district receiving funds under this section and section 62, reimbursements paid under section 26d must be multiplied by the ratio of special education millage levied, as defined in this section, and the sum of special education millage levied and vocational-technical education millage levied, as defined in section 62. Reimbursement in 2022-2023 for an intermediate district whose 2017-2018 allocation was affected by the operation of subsection (5) is an amount equal to 102.5% of the 2017-2018 allocation to that intermediate district.
(4) Except
as otherwise provided in this subsection, reimbursement for those millages
levied in 2021-2022 2022-2023 is made in 2022-2023 2023-2024
at an amount per 2021-2022 2022-2023 membership pupil
computed by subtracting from $229,600.00 $238,800.00 the 2021-2022
2022-2023 taxable value behind each membership pupil and multiplying
the resulting difference by the 2021-2022 2022-2023 millage
levied, and then subtracting from that amount the 2021-2022 2022-2023
local community stabilization share revenue for special education purposes
and 2021-2022 2022-2023 tax increment revenues captured by a
brownfield redevelopment authority created under the brownfield redevelopment
financing act, 1996 PA 381, MCL 125.2651 to 125.2670, behind each
membership pupil for reimbursement of personal property exemption loss under
the local community stabilization authority act, 2014 PA 86, MCL 123.1341 to
123.1362, and reimbursements paid under section 26d for tax increment revenues
captured by a brownfield redevelopment authority under the brownfield
redevelopment financing act, 1996 PA 381, MCL 125.2651 to 125.2670. For the
purposes of the calculation described in the previous sentence only, for an
intermediate district receiving funds under this section and section 62,
reimbursements paid under section 26d must be multiplied by the ratio of
special education millage levied, as defined in this section, and the sum of
special education millage levied and vocational-technical education millage
levied, as defined in section 62. Reimbursement in 2022-2023 2023-2024
for an intermediate district whose 2017-2018 allocation was affected by the
operation of subsection (5) is an amount
equal to 102.5% of the 2017-2018 allocation to that intermediate district.
(5) The department shall ensure that the amount paid to a single intermediate district under subsection (2) does not exceed 62.9% of the total amount allocated under subsection (2).
(6) The department shall ensure that the amount paid to a single intermediate district under subsection (2) is not less than 75% of the amount allocated to the intermediate district under subsection (2) for the immediately preceding fiscal year.
(7) From the
allocation under section 51a(1), there is allocated an amount not to exceed
$34,200,000.00 for 2021-2022 and an amount not to exceed $34,200,000.00 for 2022-2023
, and 2023-2024 to provide payments to intermediate districts levying
millages for special education under part 30 of the revised school code, MCL
380.1711 to 380.1741. The purpose, use, and expenditure of the payments under
this subsection are limited as if the funds were generated by these millages
and governed by the intermediate district plan adopted under article 3 of the
revised school code, MCL 380.1701 to 380.1761. The department shall provide a
payment under this subsection to each intermediate district described in this
subsection as follows:
(a) For 2021-2022, except
as otherwise provided in this subsection, for an intermediate district with a
3-year average special education millage revenue per pupil in the immediately

46.2% but less than 60.0% of its maximum millage rate allowed under section
1724a of the revised school code, MCL 380.1724a, an amount computed by
subtracting from $251.00 the 3-year average special education millage revenue
per pupil in the immediately preceding fiscal year and, only if the millage
levied by the intermediate district is less than 1, multiplying that amount by
the number of mills levied divided by 1, and then multiplying that amount by
the 3-year average membership in the immediately preceding fiscal year, and
then subtracting from that amount the amount allocated under subsection (2) for
the current fiscal year. If the calculation under this subdivision results in
an amount below zero, there is no payment under this subdivision.

millage rate allowed under section 1724a of the revised school code, MCL
380.1724a, an amount computed by subtracting from $251.00 the 3-year average
special education millage revenue per pupil in the immediately preceding fiscal
year and, only if the millage levied by the intermediate district is less than
1, multiplying that amount by the number of mills levied divided by 1, and then
multiplying that amount by the 3-year average membership in the immediately
preceding fiscal year, and then subtracting from that amount the amount
allocated under subsection (2) for the current fiscal year. If the calculation
under this subdivision results in an amount below zero, there is no payment
under this subdivision.
(b) (d) For 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, except as otherwise provided in this subsection,
for an intermediate district with a 3-year average special education millage

superintendent of public instruction, the department shall count as hours and
days of pupil instruction for a fiscal year not more than 3 additional days or
the equivalent number of additional hours for which pupil instruction is not
provided in a district due to unusual and extenuating occurrences resulting
from conditions not within the control of school authorities such as those
conditions described in this subsection. Subsequent such hours or days are
not counted as hours or days of pupil instruction.
(c) A district that counts hours or days of professional development for teachers as hours or days of pupil instruction, as provided under subsection (10), is eligible to have additional hours or days counted as hours and days of pupil instruction as provided under subdivision (b) to the same extent as a district that does not count hours or days of professional development for teachers as hours or days of pupil instruction.
(d) In deciding whether or not to approve the counting of additional hours or days of pupil instruction under subdivision (b) for a district, the superintendent of public instruction shall not take into account whether or not the district counts hours or days of professional development for teachers as hours or days of pupil instruction, as provided under subsection (10).
(e) Subsequent hours or days beyond those described in subdivisions (a) and (b) are not counted as hours or days of pupil instruction.
(5) A district does not forfeit part of its state aid appropriation because it adopts or has in existence an alternative scheduling program for pupils in kindergarten if the program provides at least the number of hours required under subsection (3) for a full-time equated membership for a pupil in kindergarten as provided under section 6(4).
(6) In addition to any other penalty or forfeiture under this section, if at any time the department determines that 1 or more of the following have occurred in a district, the district forfeits in the current fiscal year beginning in the next payment to be calculated by the department a proportion of the funds due to the district under this article that is equal to the proportion below the required minimum number of hours and days of pupil instruction under subsection (3), as specified in the following:

If a district applies for and receives a waiver under this subsection and complies with the terms of the waiver, the district is not subject to forfeiture under this section for the specific program covered by the waiver. If the district does not comply with the terms of the waiver, the amount of the forfeiture is calculated based upon a comparison of the number of hours and days of pupil instruction actually provided to the minimum number of hours and days of pupil instruction required under subsection (3). A district shall report pupils enrolled in a department-approved alternative education program under this subsection to the center in a form and manner determined by the center. All of the following apply to a waiver granted under this subsection:

(4) If a deposit from the school aid countercyclical budget and foundation stabilization fund is made into the state school aid fund for the purposes of eliminating or reducing proration, as provided in section 11z, the amount deposited into the state school aid fund must be used to reduce or eliminate the amount recovered from districts under subsection (3)(b), intermediate districts under subsection (3)(c), and entities receiving funding from the state school aid fund under article I other than districts and intermediate districts under subsection (3)(d). For the purposes of calculations under this subsection, the department shall do all of the following:
(a) Calculate the percentage of total state school aid fund money that is appropriated and allocated under this act for the affected fiscal year for each of the following:
(i) Districts.
(ii) Intermediate districts.
(iii) Entities receiving funding from the state school aid fund under article I other than districts or intermediate districts.
(b) Multiply the resulting percentages calculated under subdivision (a) by the amount deposited from the school aid countercyclical budget and foundation stabilization fund into the state school aid fund to determine how much proration has been reduced or eliminated for districts, intermediate districts, and entities receiving funding from the state school aid fund under article I other than districts or intermediate districts.
(c) Credit the resulting amounts calculated under subdivision (b) toward the total dollar amount necessary for recovery described in subsections (3)(b), (3)(c), and (3)(d), as applicable.

The recommendation was concurred in, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
Protests
Senator Albert under his constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the adoption of the first conference reports for House Bill No. 4437 and Senate Bill No. 173 and moved that the statement he made during the discussion of House Bill No. 4437 be printed as his reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
Senator Albert’s statement is as follows:
Just a few
months ago, our state budget surplus was estimated to be over $9 billion. In
the blink of an eye, with these votes today, it appears that 93 percent of that
money will be as good as gone in less than a six‑month period, and our
essential state services will be in a much-weaker financial position because of
it. This budget simply spends too much money and it is not sustainable. That
puts essential services provided by the state at potential risk. Maybe not
today, but it is certainly very possible in the near future.
The school aid balance looks to be whittled down to roughly $220 million under the terms of this plan. The general fund situation is not much better. This is irresponsible. Spending every bit of money you have available, and not planning for the future, is a reckless strategy. No prudent person would spend like this within their own family budget.
It is also irresponsible within the state government. This budget grows big government and establishes programs that could be in financial jeopardy shortly after they begin if the economy worsens and revenues fall. This is not some abstract theoretical argument. There is data to show a need for caution, and adding 715 new full-time-equivalent positions is concerning. The last four monthly reports on Michigan’s major taxes and net lottery revenue has been declining on a year-over-year basis. The year-over-year declines for May and April were 4.1 percent and 16.1 percent respectively. I question the sustainability of this plan, even in a good economy let alone one in an economic contraction.
What should we be doing instead? We should save more money for a rainy day and pay down more debt to put the state in a better financial position moving forward. We should not grow government simply for the sake of growing government. We should not spend more money than can be sustained. Many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle often refer to themselves as the advocates for a progressive agenda, but this budget actually wipes out many prudent financial steps we have taken in recent years and moves our state backwards to the failed strategies of the past.
Does anyone here remember Michigan’s Lost Decade? That period in the early 2000s when our state made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Reckless budgeting was not the only factor involved, but it did leave our state more vulnerable when faced with high unemployment and other economic problems. Funding for our schools and other services was slashed as a result. I want to make sure that our state never has to go through that again, and I urge a “no” vote.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Camilleri’s statement is as follows:
I tell this story often because it really is emblematic of the experience of so many educators during the last decade. In 2014 I was a brand new teacher walking into my classroom in southwest Detroit. I had lots of hopes, dreams, and aspirations of how I was going to impact the world. I very quickly realized how much disinvestments so many of our classrooms had received at that time. I had no textbooks, no curriculum, and actually they made me department chair on day one. That was an experience for me that opened my eyes to the inequities that all of our students have, and in that moment I made it my mission to be not only the best educator I could for my kids, but to lift up the voices of all of our teachers for the rest of my career.
Here we are in 2023 and I had the honor and privilege of sitting here as the chair of this school budget, one that I am so proud to present to you today in collaboration with all of you in this chamber, as well as our colleagues across the other side of this Capitol Building. In it we are not only fixing what I had to go through as an educator, but we are creating generational change for the hundreds of thousands of Michigan students who all they want is to dream big and live the life that they want right here in this state.
This budget is the result of many, many conversations not just with those here in the Capitol but with our community members across the state of Michigan whether it was Detroit, Dearborn, Downriver, or Macomb, we took our committee on the road to listen to people and hear their concerns. In it we brought forth a budget that listened to them and invested in programs that we know are going to create that change. So whether it is school meals for all; a 5 percent foundation allowance; 100 percent funding for special education; 50 percent increase in the English-Language Learners line; brand new, unprecedented $204 million in at-risk money with a sliding scale for our most-needy students, we have so much to be proud of. Not to mention the fact that this was done in a fiscally responsible way where we are expanding opportunities for our pre‑K students and putting money in the bank to create a sustainable school budget for years to come.
We have a lot that we can go back home and talk about with this budget, and I hope you all do because this is built with both Democratic ideas and Republican ideas in mind. That is how school budgets should be. That is how they have been. That is how we are going to continue budgeting going forward.
I
just want to say thank you to so many people who have been a part of this
process who helped us get to this historic budget for our schools. First and
foremost, to my team—Alissa Cravens and our Senate Fiscal team with Ryan
Bergen, to our budget team with Lori Dey especially, as well as Andy Solon. We
have so many skilled and talented staffers who have worked day and night to
build this product. And a huge thank you to our entire Senate budget team with
the Legislative Service Bureau, the Senate Fiscal Agency/Senate Fiscal analysts,
as well as everybody behind the scenes who helped make this possible.
I also want to say thank you to the Senator from the 21st District, as well as the Senator from Grand Rapids—I don’t remember your district number—but thank you for giving me the privilege of being in this position to make this budget possible.
We are creating a budget that is going to change the lives of so many students for a generation. They may not see that impact today, they may not see it tomorrow, but one day they might be standing in the board room, in the classroom, or right here in the Senate Chamber thinking about the impact that someone else made decades prior that gave them the that chance, that gave them that opportunity to live the life that they want.
I urge you to vote “yes,” invest in kids, invest in our educators, and help us support a historic budget for all of our Michigan students.
