SB 576 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

State management: funds; energy efficiency revolving fund; establish. Amends 1984 PA 431 (MCL 18.1101 - 18.1594) by adding sec. 475.

SB 576 creates an energy efficiency revolving fund within Michigan's state treasury to finance state and local energy efficiency projects. The fund accepts state and federal money (including elective payments under federal law), keeps all money intact year-to-year, and prioritizes projects that reduce carbon emissions. State agencies applying for projects must follow strict rules, including capping administrative costs at 10% of project costs and reporting annual savings. The Department of Energy oversees the fund, coordinates project applications, and requires annual reports detailing funding, agencies, and projected savings. This fund directly supports state and local entities implementing energy-saving upgrades.
