Bill overview
This bill removes a specific section of Michigan’s election law that placed a time limit on the validity of signatures gathered for ballot petitions. Specifically, it repeals section 472a of the 1954 Election Law, which previously governed the expiration of petition signatures. By removing this restriction, the bill aims to streamline the process for citizens to initiate ballot proposals and referendums. This change allows petition signatures to remain valid for a longer period.
