Counties: employees and officers; candidates for county office disclosing felony convictions; require. Amends 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.1 - 168.992) by adding sec. 558a.

This bill requires candidates running for specific county offices in Michigan to disclose whether they have ever been convicted of a felony. Directly affecting individuals seeking positions such as county executive, county commissioner, or other county offices, the law mandates that they submit a sworn statement to the county clerk alongside their nomination or filing documents. The affidavit must list any felony convictions, though it excludes crimes that have been expunged, set aside, or pardoned. Additionally, if a candidate is convicted of a felony after initially filing their statement, they must update their disclosure within three business days. The definition of a felony conviction includes any judgment entered by a court, even if sentencing has not yet occurred or an appeal is pending.
