Introduced
by
To repeal an appropriation that was attached to the bill that became the state law ending the straight party ticket option on Michigan ballots, enforcement of which has been suspended by a federal court. Adding an appropriation to a controversial bill is sometimes done by legislative majorities to make them ineligible for a petition-generated referendum. Under the Constitution, a bill with an appropriation is not subject to a popular referendum (so adding an appropriation makes the bill “referendum-proof”).
Referred to the Committee on Elections
