House Bill 4305 (as reported without amendment)

Sponsor:   Representative Steven Johnson

House Committee:   Elections and Ethics

Senate Committee:   Elections

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Michigan Campaign Finance Act to remove a requirement that a campaign statement include the approximate number of individuals who participated or attended a fund-raising event.

Under the Act, a campaign statement of a committee, other than a political party committee, must contain specific information, including information regarding each fund-raising event that occurred. The following information must be included in the campaign statement regarding each fund-raising event:

 --       The type of event, date held, address and name, if any, of the place where the activity was held, and approximate number of individuals participating or in attendance.

 --       The total amount of all contributions.

 --       The gross receipts of the fund-raising event.

 --       The expenditures incident to the event.

The bill would remove the requirement that a statement include the approximate number of individuals participating or attending a fund-raising event.
