What’s in it

This bill relates to the use of county funds by ecclesiastical and sectarian institutions. The bill allows public funds to be utilized by an ecclesiastical or sectarian institution for a project or program if it benefits the public. The project or program using public funds must not require religious or secular services, educational programs, or participation requirements. Current law prohibits a county or township officer from appropriating, giving, or loaning public funds to institutions, schools, associations, or objects under ecclesiastical or sectarian management or control.
