Appropriations: supplemental; funding for Cheboygan County; provide for. Creates appropriation act.

Impact

If enacted, HB 4380 ensures that necessary funding is earmarked for the repair of the Cornwall Flooding dam. This project is intended to mitigate flooding and improve safety for local residents, demonstrating the state's commitment to supporting local infrastructure and addressing environmental concerns. The funds appropriated will specifically be utilized in repairing the dam, which is classified as a work project, meaning any allocated but unspent funds can be carried over until the project is completed, expected around 2027.

Summary

House Bill 4380 is a significant legislative proposal aimed at adjusting state budget appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023. Specifically, the bill focuses on the allocation of $1,500,000 from the state general fund to the Department of Natural Resources for the repair of the Cornwall Flooding dam in Cheboygan County. This bill sets the stage for the state to support critical infrastructure projects that have implications for both community safety and environmental conservation.

Contention

While the bill does not appear to be embroiled in significant public contention, the allocation of funds brings forth discussions about prioritizing state resources for infrastructure versus other pressing needs within the budget. Some may argue that funding should be more evenly distributed across various sectors, while supporters emphasize the importance of maintaining and improving essential infrastructure to ensure community safety. As with many appropriations bills, the challenge often lies in balancing immediate needs with long-term planning.
