The bill proposes a gross appropriation of $291,580,100 for the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. It allocates funds for military operations, veterans' facilities, and support for veterans' families, with specific one-time appropriations such as $26 million for the Selfridge Air National Guard Base and $2.5 million aimed at eliminating veteran homelessness. The bill emphasizes transparency and accountability in fund expenditure, requiring detailed reporting on out-of-state travel expenses and ensuring that funds are not used to restrict access to government resources for marginalized communities. It also encourages the use of Michigan-based businesses for procurement and mandates that the department submit quarterly reports on full-time equivalent positions and other relevant data.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions to enhance support for Michigan National Guard members and veterans, including the establishment of various funds for programs like tuition assistance and child care. It requires the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) to develop outreach programs for veterans, maintain a culture free of sexual assault within the National Guard, and provide legal services for veterans. The bill also mandates comprehensive reporting on grant activities and expenditures, ensuring that unexpended funds do not lapse and are available for future projects. Overall, the legislation aims to improve the welfare and benefits available to Michigan's military personnel and veterans through structured funding, accountability measures, and enhanced support services.
