Michigan Department of Treasury Final Rule on American Rescue
Plan (ARP) Spending

After months of anticipation, the U.S. Treasury issued the final rule implementing the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program under ARP. Expanded uses from the original categories of public health, replacing lost revenue; premium pay for essential workers; water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, are: childcare and early learning services, road building and maintenance, and services to address vacant or abandoned properties, and much more. In addition, recipients can either determine the extent of revenue loss by formula or take a one-time standard allowance of up to $10 million. See our Inside 208 blog for more information and the schedule of upcoming Treasury department webinars.
