AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan Election Law to require the governor to call a special election or direct that a vacancy in the state legislature be filled at the next general election within 30 days of the vacancy occurring. The bill also specifies the process for political parties to nominate candidates to fill such vacancies when the vacancy occurs after the primary election but before the general election. The key changes are the governor's requirement to act within 30 days and the detailed procedures for parties to nominate candidates to fill the vacancy.
