Public employees and officers: other; immediate removal of a public officer from office; provide for upon the public officer's felony conviction. Amends the state constitution by adding sec. 9 to art. XI.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment requiring immediate removal from office for any elected public officer convicted of a felony during their term. It would amend Michigan's state constitution to automatically vacate the position upon a felony conviction, bypassing current processes that may allow officers to remain in office pending appeals. The change directly affects elected officials like state legislators, mayors, and county commissioners who face felony convictions while serving. The amendment must be approved by voters at the next general election to take effect.
