The bill proposes a gross appropriation of $41,766,000 from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund for various capital outlay projects and the Department of Natural Resources for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. It designates $26,326,000 specifically for local units of government to support initiatives such as park acquisitions and improvements across multiple counties in Michigan. Importantly, the bill prohibits the use of appropriated funds for utility-scale solar or wind development projects and requires that any land acquired through grants be dedicated to public outdoor recreation in perpetuity, with provisions for replacing any lands converted to non-recreational uses.

Additionally, the bill introduces amendments to streamline the management of capital outlay appropriations, allowing the Department of Natural Resources to waive certain requirements and ensuring that appropriations can be carried forward at the end of the fiscal year. It addresses the reduction of state shares for specific projects that have been withdrawn by grantees, with lapsed amounts being redirected for reappropriation to other initiatives. The specified lapsed amounts include $187,500 for the Skyline Recreation Area and $1,300,000 for the Crow Island State Game Area addition, among others, aiming to enhance the efficiency of resource allocation within Michigan's natural resources initiatives.
