This bill amends the existing law regarding county officers in Michigan by adding a new section, 118a, which mandates that if an elected county officer is convicted of a felony, they must update their affidavit with the county clerk within three business days of the conviction. The affidavit must reflect the felony conviction, ensuring transparency and accountability for elected officials.
Additionally, the bill defines "convicted of a felony" as a situation where a court has entered a judgment of conviction for a felony offense, irrespective of whether sentencing has taken place or if an appeal is pending. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 5795.
Statutes affected: House Introduced Bill: 45.318, 45.324
