HB 5580 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Campaign finance: public disclosure; financial reporting requirement for political nonprofits; provide for. Amends 1976 PA 388 (MCL 169.201 - 169.282) by adding sec. 29a.

This bill requires certain political nonprofits, specifically 527 and 501(c)(4) organizations, to electronically register with the Michigan Secretary of State within 10 days of forming. The registration must include the organization's name, the names of its key leaders, and the elected officials or candidates they support. The Secretary of State will make this information publicly available on their website, while political party committees are exempt from these requirements. Organizations that fail to register face civil fines ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on their financial balance, and individual officials associated with non-compliant groups may also be fined up to $1,000.
