Abstract
(HB6130 · 103rd Legislature) Education: financing; Michigan trust fund act; modify. Amends sec. 12 of 2000 PA 489 (MCL 12.262). Latest action (2026-07-03): Transmitted
Why this matters
The Michigan Trust Fund Act channels tobacco settlement and related revenues into education-linked purposes, so amendments to section 12 can shift how dedicated dollars flow to student aid and K-12/higher-ed programs. Districts, colleges, and students may see downstream effects depending on which financing streams are redirected or reauthorized. As a chamber-passed amendment, the change is not yet law but signals legislative intent worth tracking against the School Aid budget.
