Abstract
(HB5033 · 103rd Legislature) Construction: other; School building construction projects that cost less than $5,000,000.00; exempt from certain construction requirements. Amends sec. 5a of 1937 PA 306 (MCL 388.855a). Latest action (2026-06-25): Referred To Second Reading
Why this matters
School district construction procurement rules affect both taxpayer costs and the compliance burden on small building projects. By setting a $5,000,000 threshold below which certain 1937 PA 306 requirements would not apply, HB5033 would shift the balance between statewide construction oversight and local flexibility, with implications for contractors, districts, and workers on smaller school jobs.
