SB 815 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Public employees and officers: other; due date for candidate for office financial disclosure report; modify. Amends sec. 5 of 2023 PA 282 (MCL 169.305).

SB 815 changes the deadline for candidates for public office in Michigan to file financial disclosure reports. It moves the standard filing date from May 15 to April 15 each year for elections after 2027, with a special June 13, 2025 deadline for the 2024 reporting period. The bill also adds a 9-business-day window to correct errors after receiving notice from the Secretary of State and clarifies that candidates covered by another financial disclosure law (2023 PA 281) don’t need to file duplicate reports. This directly affects candidates running for elected positions who must disclose their finances.
