House Joint Resolution H, introduced by Rep. Kelly on March 20, 2025, proposes an amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963. The amendment aims to update the list of public universities recognized in the state and to explicitly prohibit the use of the state school aid fund for covering any operating expenses of these public universities. This change is intended to ensure that the financial resources allocated for school aid are exclusively dedicated to K-12 education and related purposes, rather than being diverted to higher education institutions.

The resolution outlines specific amendments to Article VIII and Article IX of the state constitution. It mandates that the legislature will continue to appropriate funds for the maintenance of designated public universities while requiring annual financial reporting from these institutions. Additionally, it establishes that the state school aid fund will be exclusively used for school districts, higher education, and retirement systems, with the new provision ensuring that no operating expenses for public universities will be funded from this source starting in the fiscal year following the amendment's enactment. The proposed amendment will be presented to the voters at the next general election.
