AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Compiled Laws to update the sentencing guidelines for campaign finance violations by adding a new statute (169.227) related to independent committee contributions to the existing list of campaign finance offenses. The bill specifically modifies the table of felonies in Chapter XVII, expanding the current categories of campaign finance violations to include independent committee contributions alongside existing offenses such as failure to file campaign statements, corporate contributions, corporate solicitation for funds, and qualified campaign expenditures. All of these offenses are classified as Class H (High) public trust crimes with a maximum statutory sentence of 3 years. The bill is tied to another legislative bill and will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted into law, which suggests these changes are part of a broader legislative package aimed at clarifying or strengthening campaign finance regulations in Michigan.
