Informing the Legislature that on June 25, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1424 HD1 SD1 CD1 (ACT 215).

HB1424 requires the director of finance to submit an annual report to the legislature within 60 days after each fiscal year ends. The report must detail how funds intended for staffing positions (like hiring) are used for operating costs (such as equipment), and how funds for operating costs are used for staffing, while also listing departments that fail to provide necessary information. This law aims to improve oversight of state spending to ensure funds are used as authorized, directly affecting all state departments that handle budgeted positions and operating expenses.
