“Sec. 216c. (1) Subject to subsection (2), funds appropriated in section 201(7) for debt, infrastructure, technology, equipment, maintenance, safety, and capital outlay grants are intended to be used for necessary improvements and deferred maintenance of community college buildings, facilities, and other physical infrastructure; necessary improvements and deferred maintenance of information technology, other technology infrastructure, and other equipment; and other purposes related to infrastructure, technology, equipment, and maintenance. A community college may also use these funds for debt or to upgrade safety and security infrastructure. These funds are not intended to be used for any other purpose than what is specified in this section.
(2) Each community college must receive grant awards under this section as follows:
(a) A capital outlay grant of $345,000.00 that may be used for any purpose allowed under section 237a of the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1237a.
(b) A debt, infrastructure, equipment, maintenance and safety grant equal to $5,340,000.00 multiplied by each community college’s respective share of total fiscal year equated students as reported to the Michigan community college data inventory for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023 for all community colleges that receive a payment under this section. A grant under this subdivision may be used for any purpose detailed under subsection (1). Not less than 15% of grant funds received under this subdivision must be used to repay debt.
(3) Payments to community colleges under this section must be distributed in 1 lump sum to each institution with the October 16, 2024 payment described in section 206(1).
(4) By September 30, 2025, each community college that receives a grant under this section must submit a report to the house and senate appropriations subcommittees on higher education, the house and senate fiscal agencies, and the state budget director that details the use of funds received under this section. If, at the time the report is submitted, a community college has unspent grant funds received under this section, the community college must indicate that in the report, and provide a summary of the purposes for which the community college intends to use those funds, if an intended use has been identified.
(5) It is the intent of the legislature that capital outlay grants as described under subsection (2)(a) be included as an ongoing appropriation for future fiscal years, and that those grants be used to replace bonds issued by the state building authority as the financing mechanism for the state’s share of capital outlay project costs. ”.
