The Michigan Senate approved over $1.9 billion COVID-19 relief funding bill on Thursday that includes:
Senate bills 29 and 114 passed 20-15 during the Feb. 25 session.
The package that the Senate approved is less than a third of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s $5.6 billion supplemental spending plan.
“The Senate has now approved roughly $6 billion in COVID-19 relief to improve access to lifesaving vaccines while also supporting our front-line workers, students, small businesses and people trying to make ends meet,” Jim Stamas, Senate Appropriation Committee chairman, said in a press release Thursday.
