The bill amends the Michigan election law by adding a new section, 634b, which establishes specific timelines for holding special elections to fill vacancies in the state legislature. According to the new provision, a special election must be conducted no less than a specified number of days after the governor calls for it, and it must occur no later than 180 days after the vacancy arises, unless otherwise stated in section 634(2).

Additionally, the enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4652 from the 103rd Legislature. This stipulation ensures that the new regulations regarding special elections are only implemented if the related legislation is also enacted.
