HB 5302 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Health: substance use disorder prevention; competitive grant program to provide grants for recovery community organizations; modify. Amends sec. 273b of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1273b).

HB 5302 creates a $5 million annual competitive grant program for recovery community organizations in Michigan to expand services for people seeking long-term recovery from substance use disorders. The bill requires the state to fund at least 19 certified local recovery groups and qualifying nonprofit associations, with each grant capped at $250,000 (or 50% of an organization’s operating budget). Priority goes to groups offering specific services like recovery navigation, workplace education, and wellness activities (e.g., support groups, nutrition programs). Grantees must report annually on fund usage, participant metrics, and budget details starting in 2027, with the program set to expire on October 1, 2031.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to clarify the grant program's structure and add flexibility for funding distribution. Key changes include reorganizing the text to separate the total funding amount from the specific recipient categories, adding a new provision allowing the department to reduce the number of grants if funds are insufficient to meet the minimum award amount, and expanding the list of required services for recovery support centers. These changes aim to ensure that the $5 million annual budget is distributed effectively while maintaining a minimum grant size of $150,000 per recipient.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on funding recovery community organizations and nonprofit associations, but the mechanism for distributing funds was modified to include a contingency for insufficient funding.

FISCAL

Reorganized the text to clarify that the $5,000,000 annual grant total applies to both recovery community organizations and nonprofit associations, rather than being split into separate funding pools.

Added a new subsection allowing the department to reduce the total number of grants awarded if available funds are insufficient to ensure each grant meets the $150,000 minimum threshold.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new requirement for recovery support centers to provide 'recovery outreach education' specifically targeting employees and their families in the workplace.

Added a new priority criterion requiring that at least one of the funded recovery community organizations must be a member of a nonprofit association described in subsection (1)(b).

TECHNICAL

Corrected a grammatical error in the priority section where the word 'prioritize' was repeated.

Updated the reporting requirements to specify 'house of representatives' instead of 'house'.
