required by this act, each year that the contribution designation
under this section is in effect, an amount equal to the cumulative
contributions made under this section, less the amount appropriated
to the department to implement this section, shall be appropriated
from the general fund to the recycling trust fund established in
section 17503 of the natural resources and environmental protection
act, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.17503.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act does not take effect
