MARQUETTE — U.S. Sen. Gary Peters helped the Senate Appropriations Committee pass the Fiscal Year 2025 Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, bipartisan legislation to fund Michigan priorities, high-impact local projects and federal programs that support manufacturing, the economy and environment, public safety and law enforcement as well as cutting-edge research.
“This bipartisan legislation advances critical projects in Michigan and across the country,” said Peters. “It will enhance public safety, boost economic competitiveness, and help safeguard our most important natural resources.”
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives is considering their own funding bills. The Senate and House will then need to reach an agreement on a final funding bill and have it pass both chambers before being sent to the president to be signed into law.
