The Michigan Legislature took swift action early Wednesday to prevent a partial government shutdown, passing a one-week funding extension to keep state services running as budget talks continue.

The stopgap measure, totaling roughly $1.5 billion, allows critical departments to operate through October 8, averting disruption following the end of the state's previous fiscal year.

Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks highlighted the extension’s role in ensuring Michiganders retain access to essential government services during the negotiation period.

The temporary measure excludes K-12 education, since schools’ fiscal planning began in July without final state funding, prompting concern from Representative Bryan Posthumus about legislative delays.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer praised bipartisan cooperation and voiced optimism for a full budget agreement that addresses infrastructure, tax relief, and community safety.

With an October 8 deadline looming, lawmakers remain focused on resolving key funding issues to secure Michigan’s financial future.
