HB 5300 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Public employees and officers: other; federal elected officials accountability act; create. Creates new act.

HB 5300 creates Michigan's "federal elected officials accountability act," requiring U.S. Congress members representing Michigan to annually disclose how they voted on federal spending bills. The bill establishes an accountability office within the state treasury to track all federal spending bills, record voting patterns, and compile reports on whether the federal government spent more than it received. If deficit spending occurs, the office identifies officials who voted for relevant bills and triggers a 75% surcharge on their taxable income for two years. This directly affects Michigan's federal lawmakers, mandating public disclosure of their voting records on spending bills and imposing financial penalties for supporting deficit spending.
