Children: other; rolling average amount for disbursement under the children’s trust fund; increase. Amends sec. 1 of 1982 PA 249 (MCL 21.171).

SB 419 increases the annual disbursement rate from Michigan's Children's Trust Fund from 4.25% to 5% of the fund's 12-quarter rolling average (starting in 2018 if the fund meets a $23.5 million minimum), and raises it further to 8% beginning in 2026. The fund, which supports child abuse prevention and related programs using state tax revenues and other sources, uses a rolling average to smooth out annual fluctuations in value. This change directly affects the amount of money available for children's services each year. The bill does not alter the fund's funding sources or disbursement authorization process.
