Counties: employees and officers; county-elected officials disclosing felony convictions; require. Amends 1846 RS 14 (MCL 45.318 - 45.324) by adding sec. 118a. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5795'26
This bill requires elected county officers in Michigan to update their public disclosure forms within three business days if they are convicted of a felony. The law defines a felony conviction as a court judgment regardless of whether sentencing has occurred or if an appeal is pending. The measure does not take effect unless it is passed together with a companion bill that would also require the county clerk to make these updated disclosures available to the public.
