Campaign finance: violations; authority of the attorney general's office to resolve violations involving the secretary of state; provide for. Amends sec. 15 of 1976 PA 388 (MCL 169.215).

SB 422 amends Michigan's Campaign Finance Act (MCL 169.215) to clarify procedures for handling violations. It adds specific criteria for waiving late filing fees (e.g., medical emergencies or natural disasters) and establishes a formal complaint process requiring detailed certifications from complainants. The bill also mandates that if the Secretary of State is involved in a violation, the matter must be referred to the Attorney General for review. These changes apply directly to campaign committees, candidates, and the Secretary of State's office.
