This bill aims to prohibit the use of state or local funds for legal proceedings that violate section 12 of article I of the Michigan state constitution of 1963. It establishes that neither the state nor any local government unit may appropriate, disburse, or expend funds for such purposes, thereby reinforcing constitutional compliance in financial matters.
The bill includes new legal language that emphasizes the prohibition on fund expenditure for these specific legal proceedings, ensuring that governmental officers and entities adhere to this mandate. By doing so, it seeks to uphold the integrity of state and local governance in relation to constitutional obligations.
