Civil rights: sexual orientation discrimination; certain references in the Michigan campaign finance act; make gender neutral. Amends sec. 61 of 1976 PA 388 (MCL 169.261). TIE BAR WITH: HJR F'25

HB 4627 amends Michigan's Campaign Finance Act (MCL 169.261) to replace gendered language with inclusive, gender-neutral terms. Specifically, it changes references like "husband and wife spouses" in Section 61(2) to remove gender specificity, ensuring the law applies equally regardless of marital or gender identity. This technical correction affects how the campaign finance law is written but does not alter funding mechanisms, contribution limits, or eligibility rules for campaign finance participants. The bill solely updates outdated terminology to align with current inclusive standards. As a procedural amendment, it requires no substantive policy change to the state campaign fund system.
