Funds appropriated in part 1 for local government programs may be used to audit local revenue sharing board funds held by a county treasurer. This section does not limit the ability of local units of government to enter into agreements with federally recognized Indian tribes to provide financial assistance to local units of government or to jointly provide public services.

(4) A local revenue sharing board described in subsection (1) shall comply with all applicable provisions of any agreement authorized by the Indian gaming regulatory act, Public Law 100-497, in which the local revenue sharing board is referenced, including, but not limited to, the disbursal of tribal casino payments received under applicable provisions of the tribal-state class III gaming compact in which those funds are received.

(5) The director of the MDSP and the executive director of the Michigan gaming control board are authorized to assist the local revenue sharing boards in determining allocations to be made to local public safety organizations.

(6) The Michigan gaming control board shall submit a report by September 30 to the senate and house of representatives standing committees on appropriations and to the report recipients required in section 205 of this part on the receipts and distribution of revenues by local revenue sharing boards.

Sec. 974. If revenues collected in the state services fee fund are less than the amounts appropriated from the fund, available revenues shall be used to fully fund the appropriation in part 1 for casino gaming regulation activities before distributions are made to other state departments and agencies. If the remaining revenue in the fund is insufficient to fully fund appropriations to other state departments or agencies, the shortfall shall be distributed proportionally among those departments and agencies.

Sec. 975. It is the intent of the legislature that, in expending the funds appropriated in part 1 for advertising for responsible gaming, the Michigan gaming control board coordinate with MDHHS on strategies to support addiction prevention and education efforts in addition to advertising for responsible gaming. The Michigan gaming control board shall submit a report on the expenditures and programming funded from the appropriations in part 1 for advertising for responsible gaming by September 1 of the current fiscal year.

Sec. 976. The executive director of the Michigan gaming control board may pay rewards of not more than $5,000.00 to a person who provides information that results in the arrest and conviction on a felony or misdemeanor charge for a crime that involves the horse racing industry. A reward paid pursuant to this section shall be paid out of the appropriation in part 1 for the racing commission.

Sec. 977. All appropriations from the equine development fund, except for the racing commission appropriations, shall be reduced proportionately if revenues to the equine development fund decline during the current fiscal year to a level lower than the amount appropriated in part 1.

Sec. 978. The Michigan gaming control board shall use actual expenditure data in determining the actual regulatory costs of conducting racing dates and shall submit a report of that data to the senate and house appropriations subcommittees on agriculture. The Michigan gaming control board shall not be reimbursed for more than the actual regulatory cost of conducting race dates. If the Michigan gaming control board receives an amount of funding for the regulatory costs of conducting racing dates that is greater than the actual regulatory cost of conducting the racing dates, the balance remains in the equine development fund to be used to fund subsequent race dates conducted by race meeting licensees with which the certified horsemen�s organization has contracts. If the Michigan gaming control board receives an amount of funding for the regulatory costs of conducting racing dates that is less than the actual regulatory costs of the additional horse racing dates, the Michigan gaming control board shall reduce the number of future race dates conducted by race meeting licensees with which the certified horsemen�s organization has contracts. Prior to the reduction in the number of authorized race dates due to budget deficits, the executive director of the Michigan gaming control board shall provide notice to the certified horsemen�s organizations with an opportunity to respond with alternatives. In determining actual costs, the Michigan gaming control board shall take into account that each specific breed may require different regulatory mechanisms.

Sec. 979. From the funds appropriated in part 1 for millionaire party regulation, the Michigan gaming control board may receive and expend internet gaming fund revenue in an amount not to exceed the amount appropriated in part 1 for necessary expenses incurred in the licensing and regulation of millionaire parties under article 2 of the Traxler-McCauley-Law-Bowman bingo act, 1972 PA 382, MCL 432.132 to 432.152. Any unused internet gaming fund revenues are subject to the distribution requirements in section 16 of the lawful internet gaming act, 2019 PA 152, MCL 432.316. The Michigan gaming control board shall submit a report by March 1 that includes, but is not limited to, total expenditures related to the licensing and regulating of millionaire parties, steps taken to ensure charities are receiving revenue due to them, progress on promulgating rules to ensure compliance with the Traxler-McCauley-Law-Bowman bingo act, 1972 PA 382, MCL 432.101 to 432.152, and any enforcement actions taken.

STATE BUILDING AUTHORITY

Sec. 1100. (1) Subject to section 242 of the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1242, and upon the approval of the state building authority, the department of treasury may expend from the general fund of this state during the fiscal year an amount to meet the cash flow requirements of those state building authority projects solely for lease to a state agency identified in both part 1 and this section, and for which state building authority bonds or notes have not been issued, and for the sole acquisition by the state building authority of equipment and furnishings for lease to a state agency as permitted by 1964 PA 183, MCL 830.411 to 830.425, for which the issuance of bonds or notes is authorized by a legislative appropriation act that is effective for the immediately preceding fiscal year. Any general fund advances for which state building authority bonds have not been issued shall bear an interest cost to the state building authority at a rate not to exceed that earned by the state treasurer�s common cash fund during the period in which the advances are outstanding and are repaid to the general fund of this state.

(2) Upon sale of bonds or notes for the projects identified in part 1 or for equipment as authorized by a legislative appropriation act and in this section, the state building authority shall credit the general fund of this state an amount equal to that expended from the general fund plus interest, if any, as described in this section.

(3) For state building authority projects for which bonds or notes have been issued and upon the request of the state building authority, the state treasurer shall make advances without interest from the general fund as necessary to meet cash flow requirements for the projects.

Sec. 1102. (1) State building authority funding to finance construction or renovation of a facility that collects revenue in excess of money required for the operation of that facility shall not be released to a university or community college unless the institution agrees to reimburse that excess revenue to the state building authority.

The auditor general shall annually identify and present an audit of those facilities that are subject to this section. Costs associated with the administration of the audit shall be charged against money recovered pursuant to this section.

(2) As used in this section, �revenue� includes state appropriations, facility opening money, other state aid, indirect cost reimbursement, and other revenue generated by the activities of the facility.
