SB 1108 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Elections: campaign practices; individual circulating a petition; prohibit from being paid for each petition signature collected, and require petition circulators to be paid an hourly wage. Amends 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.1 - 168.992) by adding secs. 483b & 957a.

This bill requires individuals who collect signatures for political petitions in Michigan to be paid an hourly wage instead of a flat fee per signature. The law applies to petitions for candidates, ballot measures, and recall elections, prohibiting any compensation based on the number of signatures gathered. By mandating hourly pay, the legislation aims to standardize how petition circulators are compensated across different types of electoral processes.
