This bill strengthens Michigan’s campaign finance laws by banning ballot question committees from accepting contributions from foreign nationals and requiring donors to confirm they are not foreign entities. It increases transparency by imposing stricter reporting on contributions, fundraising activities, and independent spending by outside groups that seek to influence ballot questions, with stronger penalties for violations. The bill also clarifies the enforcement roles of the Secretary of State and Attorney General, aiming to keep foreign money out of Michigan elections and improve accountability in political spending.
