This bill proposes appropriations for various state departments and agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, with a total gross appropriation of $10,000,000. The funds are allocated from the state general fund/general purpose, and the bill outlines specific appropriations for the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential, including $2,500,000 for Tri-Share employer incentives and outreach, and $7,500,000 for program delivery and expansion. The total adjusted gross appropriation remains at $10,000,000, with no interdepartmental grant revenues or federal revenues included.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the appropriated funds for Tri-Share must be used for one-time sign-up incentives for employers and marketing strategies to increase employer participation. It also mandates that funds for the Tri-Share program delivery and expansion be utilized to assist families in affording child care, thereby aiding employers in recruiting and retaining employees. However, the funds cannot be used to provide a state subsidy for child care expenses under the MI Care-Share program, which is an optional add-on to the MI Tri-Share Child Care Program.
