SB 814 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Public employees and officers: other; due date for public officer financial disclosure report; modify. Amends sec. 5 of 2023 PA 281 (MCL 15.705).

SB 814 amends Michigan's Public Officers Financial Disclosure Act to change the annual filing deadline for public officers' financial reports from May 15 to April 15, effective starting in 2027. This affects all state public officers required to file financial disclosures, including elected officials and appointed staff. The bill specifies that the new April 15 deadline applies to reports covering the prior calendar year (e.g., 2027 report due April 15, 2028), with an exception for officers who served only part of the year. It also clarifies that the 2024 report (covering Jan 1-Dec 31, 2024) must be filed by June 13, 2025, as a one-time adjustment. The change streamlines the reporting timeline without altering disclosure requirements or penalties.
