SB 214 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Economic development: other; strategic advisory board; create, and provide for the development of strategic plans. Amends 1984 PA 270 (MCL 125.2001 - 125.2094) by adding secs. 9a & 9b. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0213'25

SB 214 creates a Strategic Advisory Board under Michigan's existing Michigan Strategic Fund Act (1984 PA 270). The board, composed of voting members elected by appointed representatives from business, transit, economic development, housing/utilities, and education sectors, must develop strategic plans to guide the fund's work. It directly affects how the Michigan Strategic Fund operates by requiring formal strategic planning processes. The bill does not change funding levels but establishes a new governance structure to inform the fund's priorities.

What changed between versions

As Passed by the Senate Substitute (S-3) · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill was revised from Senate version S-5 to substitute version S-3, primarily reorganizing the list of nonvoting members on the Strategic Advisory Board. The changes involve renumbering, reordering, and renaming several organizational representatives, while adding new members focused on housing and community development.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains the same, but the composition of the advisory board was modified to include different organizations and restructure the representation categories.
REQUIREMENT

The reference to subsection numbers for voting members was changed from subsection (7) to subsection (12), indicating a renumbering of the bill's internal sections.

New nonvoting members were added for Macomb County Planning and Economic Development, the Michigan Nature Association, Community Housing (as a network representative), and the Michigan Housing Council.

Several nonvoting member representatives were removed, including those from the Detroit department of transportation, state transportation department, Michigan Transportation Team Coalition, Michigan Public Transit Association, Regional Transit Authority, and various economic development alliances.

The order and numbering of nonvoting member categories were reorganized, shifting representatives from jobs, economic development, housing, and education into a new sequence with updated letter designations.
