The proposed bill amends the Michigan Campaign Finance Act by adding a new section, 30a, which prohibits covered persons from making donations or contributions to specific organizations and committees. These include 501(c)(4) organizations, 527 organizations, candidate committees, political party committees, political committees, independent committees, and separate segregated funds that are controlled or directed by candidates for state elective office, elected state officials, former elected state officials, appointed state officials, or state and local party committees. Additionally, it restricts contributions to organizations where these officials or their affiliates are employed or serve on the board.

Violations of this section would result in civil fines ranging from five to ten times the amount of the unlawful contribution. The bill also defines key terms such as "covered person," "affiliate," "elected state official," and "regulated utility," providing clarity on who is subject to these restrictions. The definitions encompass various roles and relationships, ensuring comprehensive coverage of individuals and entities involved in campaign finance within the state.
