Appropriations: department of natural resources; appropriations for fiscal year 2026-2027; provide for. Creates appropriation act.

Michigan House Bill 5613, introduced by Representative Ken Borton on February 26, 2026, proposes the budget for the Department of Natural Resources for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027. The bill allocates a total of $100 from the state's general fund to the department. This allocation is subject to the state's management and budget act, ensuring proper oversight and expenditure of the funds.

Positive media analysis is being generated.

In the absence of direct media coverage, potential criticisms of HB5613 could stem from concerns about the adequacy of the proposed $100 allocation. Critics might argue that such a minimal budget is insufficient to support the department's operations and initiatives, potentially hindering its ability to effectively manage and protect the state's natural resources.
