Abstract
(HB6224 · 103rd Legislature) Marihuana: taxation; comprehensive road funding tax act; repeal. Sponsor: Rep. James DeSana ® In committee: H Appropriations Latest action (2026-08-11): Bill Electronically Reproduced 07/29/2026
Why this matters
Michigan’s road funding relies on a patchwork of dedicated revenue streams, and marijuana excise taxes were previously tied into a comprehensive road funding package. Repealing that linkage would remove a marijuana-derived revenue channel for roads, forcing legislators to either backfill from other sources or accept reduced road repair capacity.
