HB 4268 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Campaign finance: violations; secretary of state to apply for injunctive relief; allow. Amends sec. 15 of 1976 PA 388 (MCL 169.215).

HB 4268 amends Michigan's Campaign Finance Act to give the Secretary of State authority to seek court orders (injunctive relief) to stop campaign finance violations. It adds specific circumstances for waiving late filing fees, such as medical emergencies, natural disasters, or loss of records, and requires the Secretary to provide public notice and comment periods for official interpretations of the law. The bill also establishes clear deadlines for handling complaints about violations, including requirements for signed complaints with factual certifications and structured timelines for responses and rebuttals. These changes aim to improve enforcement transparency and streamline compliance for campaign finance reporters.
