This bill amends the existing law regarding the powers and duties of the state administrative board in Michigan. It clarifies that the board will maintain general supervisory control over all administrative departments, boards, commissioners, and state institutions. The bill specifies that the board cannot transfer appropriations to the general fund or allow any state entity to use funds not appropriated by the legislature, except as permitted under the emergency appropriation act of 1931. Additionally, it allows the board to inter-transfer funds within a specific department's appropriation, provided that certain notification and approval conditions are met by the state budget director and the appropriations committees.

The bill also modifies the language regarding the board's ability to intervene in matters related to state functions and activities. It removes previous restrictions on transferring funds related to specific programs, while establishing that the board may advise or direct state entities on how to perform their functions. The bill emphasizes that failure to comply with the board's directives may result in malfeasance in office, which could lead to removal from position. Furthermore, the enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of two other specified bills in the 103rd Legislature.
