MICHIGAN VEHICLE CODE
Act 300 of 1949
257.732a Fire protection fund; creation; disposition of funds; transmission of fees to state treasurer.
Sec. 732a.
(1) The fire protection fund is created within the state treasury. The state treasurer may receive money or other assets from any source for deposit into the fund. The state treasurer shall direct the investment of the fund. The state treasurer shall credit to the fund interest and earnings from fund investments. Money in the fund at the close of the fiscal year must remain in the fund and must not lapse to the general fund. The department of licensing and regulatory affairs shall expend money from the fund, upon appropriation, only for fire protection grants to cities, villages, and townships with state-owned facilities for fire services, as provided in 1977 PA 289, MCL 141.951 to 141.956.
(2) The secretary of state shall transmit the fees collected under this section to the state treasurer. The state treasurer shall credit fee money received under this section in each fiscal year as follows:
(a) The first $8,500,000.00 must be credited to the fire protection fund created in subsection (1).
(b) For fiscal year 2017 and for each fiscal year thereafter, after the amount specified in subdivision (a) is credited to the fire protection fund created under subsection (1), the next $1,000,000.00 must be credited to the department of state for necessary expenses incurred by the department of state in implementing and administering the requirements of sections 625k and 625q. Funds appropriated under this subdivision must be based upon an established cost allocation methodology that reflects the actual costs incurred or to be incurred by the secretary of state during the fiscal year. However, except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, funds appropriated under this subdivision must not exceed $1,000,000.00 during any fiscal year.
(c) Any amount collected after crediting the amounts under subdivisions (a) and (b) must be credited to the general fund.
(3) It is the intent of the legislature that beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, and each fiscal year after that, $8,500,000.00 must be appropriated to the fire protection fund created under subsection (2).
