Informing the Legislature that on May 13, 2024, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB2380 HD2 SD1 CD1 (ACT 023).

This bill, signed into law on May 13, 2024, provides an emergency appropriation of $179 million from the mass transit special fund to the Department of Budget and Finance. The legislation addresses a situation where previous revenue limits prevented the department from spending all available funds, resulting in a carryover balance that threatened to create another shortfall in the current fiscal year. By increasing the special fund ceiling, the bill allows the department to disburse the necessary money for mass transit operations without requiring additional legislative action. This measure directly impacts the state's mass transit funding and ensures that allocated resources can be used as intended for the 2023-2024 fiscal year.
