Elections: offenses; false statements or misrepresentations concerning elections; prohibit. Amends 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.1 - 168.992) by adding sec. 931c.

SB 533 makes it illegal to intentionally spread false information about elections with the goal of stopping people from voting. It imposes civil fines of up to $1,000 per violation on individuals who falsely claim details about election timing, voter eligibility rules, voting penalties, or registration status. Employers (including local governments) who knowingly hire someone violating this law face fines up to $10,000, though local governments are presumed not to have prior knowledge of such violations. The law directly targets misinformation meant to obstruct voting rights, not accidental errors or general political speech.
