Bill Summary
Elections: campaign practices; individual circulating a petition; prohibit from being paid for each petition signature collected, and require petition circulators to be paid an hourly wage. Amends 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.1 - 168.992) by adding secs. 483b & 957a.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits individuals employed to circulate petitions, including recall petitions, from being paid a fixed rate or amount for each signature collected. Instead, it requires that individuals who are compensated for circulating petitions must be paid an hourly wage for the time they work. This change aims to ensure that petition circulators are not incentivized to collect signatures through high-pressure or potentially coercive tactics, and instead are fairly compensated for their time and labor.
