Representative Regas, sponsor of the bill, told the House: “No elected official is above the law in Michigan. The secretary of state should have to answer [to] the Campaign Finance Act violations just like every other elected official in Michigan.” He said violations — whether misuse of campaign funds or holding a campaign event in a state office building — must be investigated.
There was no recorded opposition on the floor. The Clerk announced the final roll call: 106 aye, 0 nay. A majority of members voted in favor, the bill passed, and the House ordered immediate effect.
The measure makes a procedural change to investigative jurisdiction under the Campaign Finance Act; the transcript does not include further detail about investigative protocols or any budgetary implications.
