Legislature: legislators; appointment of a legislator to a committee that would create a conflict of interest; prohibit. Amends 1968 PA 318 (MCL 15.301 - 15.310) by adding sec. 8a.

SB 832 prohibits state legislators from chairing a legislative committee if an immediate family member leads a principal state department that falls under that committee's jurisdiction. This rule applies to legislators in both the House and Senate and defines immediate family members as parents, siblings, children, spouses, and in-laws. The bill aims to prevent conflicts of interest by ensuring legislators do not oversee committees that could directly impact their relatives' departments. It amends existing state law to add this new restriction without changing other provisions related to conflict of interest.
