LANSING, Mich. -- The Department of Management and Budget Thursday announced that most Michigan state government offices will be closed on Monday, July 6, as part of a program that will ultimately reduce state spending in the current fiscal year by almost $22 million.

State government operations will be similar to those observed on public holidays, which includes Friday, July 3, to observe the Fourth of July, when general offices and services in state government are closed.

But some services, including those vital to public health and safety, will still be performing their jobs.

Among those services that will be maintained without interruption are Michigan State Police road patrols, correctional facilities, state psychiatric hospitals, veterans’ homes and youth facilities, and emergency human services programs.

The unpaid furlough days will save the state $21.7 million before September 30, the end of the state’s fiscal year.

Approximately 37,400 state employees will be furloughed for the six days while another 15,500 are exempt to maintain public health and safety services.

Additional upcoming unpaid furlough days are: July 24, August 7, August 21 and September 4.
