Bill overview
This bill updates Michigan’s ethics laws to restrict former executive branch officials – specifically former governors, lieutenant governors, and heads of principal departments – from lobbying activities for two years after leaving office. It prohibits them from spending money on lobbying or receiving compensation for expenses that would require them to register as lobbyists. Violations of this law are considered misdemeanors punishable by a fine or imprisonment. The law does not prevent former officials from taking new jobs within state government or seeking elected office.
