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 or inter-transferring funds related to specific programs, while establishing that the board may advise or direct state entities on how to perform their functions. Furthermore, it introduces a new definition for "session day" and stipulates that the amendments will only take effect if certain other bills from the 103rd Legislature are enacted into law.
