Context text
Edwards Martus Rheingans Young In The Chair: Smit The House agreed to the title of the bill. Rep. Posthumus moved that the bill be given immediate effect. The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor. Rep. Xiong, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement: “Mr. Speaker and members of the House: While this bill redirects funding into the School Aid Fund, it does not make up for the $5 billion recently cut by the majority party from that very fund. Furthermore, it fails to provide certainty for Michigan’s students and educators amid federal threats to the Department of Education. By shifting sales tax revenue allocations without a comprehensive plan, this bill operates in a silo, neglecting the broader budgetary concerns, including infrastructure and public services. Instead of piecemeal funding adjustments, we need a holistic, negotiated budget that ensures stability for education, transportation, and essential services. With no guarantees on future federal funding and no plan to reverse the significant cuts made by the majority party, this bill falls short of addressing the real needs of our schools and communities. A responsible budget must be built together —not in fragments. For these reasons, I cannot support House Bill 4185.” House Bill No. 4186, entitled A bill to amend 2007 PA 36, entitled “Michigan business tax act,” by amending sections 201 and 500 (MCL 208.1201 and 208.1500), section 201 as amended by 2012 PA 605 and section 500 as amended by 2019 PA 90.
