Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend 1978 PA 472, entitled “An act to regulate political activity; to regulate lobbyists, lobbyist agents, and lobbying activities; to require registration of lobbyists and lobbyist agents; to require the filing of reports; to prescribe the powers and duties of the department of state; to prescribe penalties; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts,” (MCL 4.411 to 4.431) by adding section 6c.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to prohibit state senators and representatives from receiving any payment, beyond their regular salary, for directly communicating with officials in the executive or legislative branches of government, whether at the state or any other governmental level, with the goal of influencing legislative or administrative actions. Violating this provision would be considered a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail or a fine of up to $1,000, or both. This change aims to enhance ethics by preventing elected officials from profiting from lobbying efforts.
