Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1976 PA 388, entitled "Michigan campaign finance act," by amending sections 26, 28, 29, 32, 42, 46, and 51 (MCL 169.226, 169.228, 169.229, 169.232, 169.242, 169.246, and 169.251), sections 26 and 51 as amended by 2019 PA 93, section 28 as amended by 1999 PA 237, sections 29 and 42 as amended by 2001 PA 250, section 32 as amended by 2012 PA 277, and section 46 as amended by 2013 PA 252.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Campaign Finance Act by modifying the required contents of campaign statements filed by committees. The key changes are:
1) It removes the requirement to report the occupation, employer, and principal place of business for contributors who cumulatively contribute more than $100. This information would no longer need to be provided for individual contributors or those who contribute to non-committee entities.
2) It makes some technical changes, such as replacing the term "funds" with "money" and updating references to the "Consumer Price Index" rather than the "consumer price index."
3) It adjusts the thresholds and penalties related to reporting "late contributions" received close to an election.
The overall effect is to reduce the amount of personal information about contributors that must be publicly disclosed in campaign finance reports, while maintaining other key reporting requirements. This change aims to simplify the reporting process for committees while still providing transparency around campaign contributions and expenditures.
