IN RE: (SUPPORT) HB 4242, AMENDMENT TO THE MICHIGAN CAMPAIGN
FINANCE ACT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, currently the Michigan Campaign Finance Act
requires that candidates filing nomination petitions or filing
fees for an office in an election, must also file affidavits
containing certain information, such as name and address, and
citizenship; and
WHEREAS, HB 4242, as amended, would amend the Michigan
Campaign Finance Act to require candidates filing for election to
an office to include in such affidavit a statement that all
statements, reports, or fines required to be filed or paid by the
individual candidate or the candidate committee in previous
elections have been filed or paid; and
WHEREAS, perjurious statements on such affidavits would
continue to be punishable by a fine of up to $1000, imprisonment
for up to five years, or both, and failure to file such
affidavit, would preclude the placement of that individual's name
on the ballot, as currently provided by law.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners does hereby support the adoption of HB 4242 by
the Michigan Legislature.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this
resolution be sent to Oakland County's Legislators, Lobbyists,
and the Michigan Association of Counties.
