AI Summary

This bill prohibits the use of electronic voting systems manufactured outside the United States for elections in Michigan. Specifically, it amends the Michigan Election Law to require that any electronic voting system acquired on or after July 1, 2022, must not include any parts or equipment produced or provided by an entity that has any "covered communications equipment or services" listed on the Federal Communications Commission's website.
