Appropriations: grants and transfers; state administrative board limitations; modify. Amends sec. 3 of 1921 PA 2 (MCL 17.3). TIE BAR WITH: SB 486'25, SB 488'25

SB 487 restricts the State Administrative Board's authority over state budget funds by prohibiting transfers to the general fund or for purposes not specified by the legislature. It allows the board to move funds within a single department's budget only after notifying legislative appropriations committees and waiting for a set period without committee approval. The bill also explicitly blocks the board from transferring funds from designated programs, such as the strategic outreach reserve fund and critical industry programs. These changes aim to strengthen legislative oversight of state spending while maintaining the board's general supervisory role.
