The bill amends the existing law regarding the powers and duties of the state administrative board in Michigan. It establishes that the board will have general supervisory control over all administrative departments, boards, commissioners, and officers of the state, as well as state institutions. The bill specifies that the board cannot transfer appropriations to the general fund or use appropriated funds for purposes other than those designated by the legislature. Additionally, it clarifies that the board may inter-transfer funds within a specific department's appropriation, provided certain conditions are met, including notifying the appropriations committees of the Senate and House.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new language that allows the state administrative board to intervene in matters related to its functions and activities, and to advise or direct departments on how to perform their functions. It also emphasizes that officials and employees of state departments must comply with the board's directions, with noncompliance being considered malfeasance in office. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 5294.
