Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.
Michigan officers face detailed financial reporting
Covered officers must use the standard form to report personal and spouse information, jobs, organizational roles, and financial interests. They must list employers paying at least $1,000 and a spouse's occupation and employers when spousal earnings reach $1,000. Unearned income over $200 requires source names and addresses, excluding inheritances and family gifts. Reports list covered investment assets and securities worth at least $1,000, plus debts over $10,000, subject to exclusions. Asset and securities thresholds change every four years with Detroit-area inflation; officers need not report property or asset values. Qualifying blind trusts require disclosure of the officer's interest, not individual holdings; qualifying widely held funds without filer control are excluded. Debt exclusions cover revolving debt, unsecured financial-institution or federal debt, and certain business debt. Officers must describe covered future-job, leave, continued-payment, deferred-pay, and benefit-plan arrangements, including dates and parties. They must also report their own and their spouse's covered state-vendor ties, majority ownership, and state contracts. Reports must identify providers of gifts and travel payments covered by lobbyist reporting law, plus lobbyist charity payments replacing speaking fees. Officers must swear the report is complete and truthful and that assets were not moved to avoid disclosure.
Departing officers must disclose future jobs
Officers who lose reelection or are not seeking reelection must promptly report covered future-job agreements or arrangements. This applies when the job starts no later than one year after leaving office. Written disclosures are due within 10 days of the agreement and must identify its date, parties, and general terms. The Secretary of State must make these details easy to find online.
Michigan officers get email filing option
Michigan legislators, the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and secretary of state must file annual financial reports. Reports cover the prior calendar year and are due May 15, including for officers who served only on January 1. The 2024 report was due June 13, 2025. The state must post the current form at least 30 days before the deadline; the 2025 form deadline was May 14. Filers can use email instead of the state filing system, including retroactively for reports covering 2023.
Officers' filing penalties follow updated index
Late fees and civil fines for covered officers are adjusted for inflation every four years using the Consumer Price Index. This replaces the prior Detroit Consumer Price Index reference. Compared with the old index, the change can produce higher or lower penalties; it sets no specific adjusted amount.
