AGENDA
Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity Presentation of the Governor's FY 2026-27 Budget Recommendation
Michigan Arts and Culture Council presentation on the Arts and Cultural Program
And any other business properly before the committee.
I indicated with italics that the Michigan Arts and Culture Council doesn't impact healthcare.
If I'm wrong, please comment. Thanks!
