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. This amendment aims to provide clarity and structure to the process of filling legislative vacancies.

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