For fiscal years ending September 30, 2027, through September 30, 2029, Michigan must put $1.7 million annually into its general fund instead of its transportation administration collection fund.

More detail
Michigan must reduce deposits into its transportation administration collection fund by $1.7 million annually and put that money into its general fund. The rule covers money collected under Michigan’s vehicle law that would otherwise enter the transportation administration collection fund, which helps pay tax and fee collection costs. The law took effect September 21, 2026. The annual funding rule applies to the fiscal years ending September 30, 2027, 2028, and 2029.
