The bill amends the Michigan Campaign Finance Act by updating the definition of "qualifying contribution" and making changes to the list of statewide elective offices. A qualifying contribution is defined as a monetary contribution of $100 or less made by an individual to a candidate committee for the office of governor, provided it is made after April 1 of the year preceding a gubernatorial election. Additionally, it specifies that only contributions from individuals residing in Michigan are considered qualifying contributions, and it replaces the phrase "he or she" with "the individual" for clarity.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the definition of "statewide elective office" to include the office of member of the state board of education while removing references to the regent of the University of Michigan, the member of the board of trustees of Michigan State University, and the member of the board of governors of Wayne State University. The enactment of this amendment is contingent upon Senate Joint Resolution J becoming part of the state constitution.
