Campaign finance: contributions and expenditures; use of campaign funds to pay for child care expenses; allow. Amends secs. 3, 6 & 9 of 1976 PA 388 (MCL 169.203 et seq.).

House Bill 4480 proposes amendments to Michigan's campaign finance act. This bill would allow candidates for elective office to use campaign funds to pay for specific caregiving expenses. These expenses include the direct care, protection, and supervision of a child or a person with a disability or medical condition, provided these costs directly result from the candidate's campaign activities. The bill defines what constitutes "caregiving expenses," excluding items such as private school tuition or general medical expenses, and limits payments to relatives unless they operate a professional caregiving service at a standard rate.
