Committee:  Ethics and Elections

Complete to 9-22-08

A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 6468 AS INTRODUCED 9-18-08

House Bill 6468 would amend the Michigan Campaign Finance Act to require that constitutional convention delegates comply with the act in the same manner as do those holding state elective office.

Currently under the law, "state elective office" is defined to mean a statewide elective office (that is, governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, or attorney general, justice of the supreme court, member of the state board of education, regent of the University of Michigan, member of the board of trustees of Michigan State University, or member of the board of governors of Wayne State University), or the office of state representative.  House Bill 6468 would expand the definition to also include "a constitutional convention delegate."

MCL 169.212

FISCAL IMPACT:

House Bill 6468 would have no significant fiscal impact on the State of Michigan.
