Bill overview
This bill restricts former members of the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate from lobbying for the remainder of their previous term or for two years after leaving office. Specifically, it prohibits them from spending money on lobbying or receiving compensation for lobbying activities that meet or exceed the threshold for registering as a lobbyist agent. The bill aims to prevent former legislators from using their connections to influence policy while still allowing them to hold other government positions or seek new elected offices. Violations are subject to a misdemeanor penalty.
