The Senate Fiscal
Agency (SFA) was created by State law (M.C.L. 4.1501) as a nonpartisan
legislative agency and is designed primarily to provide the Michigan Senate
with sound and unbiased assistance in two principal areas.
- The first area involves
assistance in State fiscal issues. The SFA provides staff support to the
Senate Appropriations Committee and assists all members of the Senate on
State fiscal issues. The SFA also is responsible for providing the Senate
with detailed projections of the United States and Michigan economies and
forecasts of State revenue collections.
- The second primary area of staff support that the SFA provides to the
Senate is analysis of all proposed legislation being considered by the
Senate. This support takes the form of written analysis of proposed legislation
that is available throughout the legislative deliberation process.
