STATE BUDGET

Michigan’s fiscal year begins on October 1st and ends on September 30th of the following calendar year. While there is no specific legal time requirement for passage of the budget bills, this task is accomplished prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year. Appropriations bills are usually considered and passed in April by the first house, in early June by the second house, and usually final action is completed in July.

STATE LEGISLATURE

Michigan has 38 members of the Senate, serving four-year terms, and 110 members of the House of Representatives, who serve two-year terms.  The state does have term limits.  The session of the Legislature begins on the second Wednesday of January every year at noon and lasts throughout the entire year until adjourning in late December.  Bills carry over from odd to even years.
