The bill amends the Michigan election law by adding new sections that regulate the compensation of individuals employed to circulate various types of petitions. Specifically, it establishes that individuals circulating petitions for general purposes, nominating purposes, qualifying purposes, and recall purposes must not be compensated at a fixed rate or amount for each signature collected or for each completed signature sheet.

These new provisions aim to standardize the payment structure for petition circulators, ensuring that they are not incentivized by the number of signatures they gather. This change is intended to promote fairness and integrity in the petition circulation process within the state of Michigan.
