The Michigan Senate on Wednesday voted on a bill to establish the Flint Settlement Fund with money derived from the anticipated $600 million Flint Water Settlement Agreement.
Senate Bill 1252 was sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich, D-Flint. The bill must now pass the Michigan House of Representatives prior to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signing it.
The fund established by SB 1252 requires a $600 million deposit within 185 days of full approval of the water settlement agreement, which is anticipated to occur in August 2021.
“Today’s vote to establish the Flint Settlement Trust Fund was more than a vote on a bill, it was a declaration of support for the victims of the Flint water crisis,” Ananich said in a statement.
