Oct. 1, 2021 Compiler's Notes: In his veto message relative to Enrolled House Bill 4572, which became Act 118 of 1991, the governor stated that “the tradition of not re-enacting annually the unchanged appropriation sections of the school aid act is constitutionally flawed. It assumes the invalid creation of a continuing appropriation. Therefore, the following sections of the school aid act and their associated allocations must be considered inoperative: 24, 55, 74, 75, 105a, 111, and 116. These sections will be treated as excluded from the current bill... .”In subsection (1), as amended by Act 121 of 2001, the phrase “and for 2002-2003” was vetoed by the governor September 28, 2001.Enacting section 3 of Act 521 of 2002 provides:“Enacting section 3.
