AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Campaign Finance Act by adding a new section that requires automated telephone communications related to elections, candidates, or ballot questions to clearly state the name of the person paying for the communication. If the communication relates to a candidate and is an independent expenditure not authorized by the candidate's committee, it must also include the disclaimer "Not authorized by any candidate committee." If the communication relates to a candidate but is paid for by someone other than the candidate or their committee, it must include the disclaimer "Authorized by [name of candidate or candidate committee]." These disclosures must be stated at the beginning of the communication. Violating this new requirement can result in a civil fine of up to $1,000 per violation.
