SB 177 allocates $626.86 million in state funding for Michigan's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (DLRA) for fiscal year 2025-2026. The bill specifies funding for DLRA operations, the Public Service Commission ($45.4 million), and the Liquor Control Commission ($3.5 million), drawn from state general funds, liquor license fees, marijuana regulatory funds, and other dedicated revenue streams. It does not create new policies but authorizes the expenditure of existing appropriations to maintain current regulatory services. The funding directly supports DLRA staff, licensing enforcement, and oversight of industries like healthcare, construction, and alcohol sales.
