MI HB4606

Establishes the public safety and violence prevention fund in the department of treasury, funded by sales tax deposits, donations, and investment earnings that do not lapse to the general fund.

Directs state treasurer to distribute fund revenues by July 31, 2025 and March 31 each fiscal year thereafter: 6.5% to cities, villages, and townships for community violence intervention grants administered by the department of health and human services, and 2% to the crime victim's rights fund.

Distributes remaining revenues to cities, villages, and townships based on their proportional violent crime counts, with a 25% cap per municipality; reduces distributions by 2-3% for municipalities failing to decrease violent crime rates by at least 1-2% from baseline 2021-2023 rates.

Prohibits fund recipients from purchasing vehicles over 15,000 pounds designed for tactical police use, obtaining facial recognition technology, or acquiring chemical weapons; prohibits replacing existing public safety resources unless general fund revenue declines proportionally.

Requires the director of the department of state police to certify violent crime data by March 31, 2025 for 2023 data, then by November 30 annually for subsequent years.
