A bill to amend 1968 PA 318, entitled “An act to implement the provisions of section 10 of article 4 of the constitution relating to substantial conflicts of interest on the part of members of the legislature and state officers in respect to contracts with the state and the political subdivisions thereof; to provide for penalties for the violation thereof; to repeal all acts and parts of acts in conflict with this act; and to validate certain contracts,” (MCL 15.301 to 15.310) by adding section 8a.
Prohibits members of the Michigan legislature from voting on any bill, joint resolution, or alternative measure in which they have a personal or professional interest that could result in a substantial pecuniary benefit to themselves, their immediate family members, or entities to which they have financial or legal obligations. The bill outlines that each house of the legislature is responsible for judging the conduct of its members under this section and may subject violators to disciplinary action. However, a violation of this section does not invalidate the member's vote.
