AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Campaign Finance Act to prohibit certain contributions to the campaign committees of judges and Supreme Court justices. Specifically, it prohibits individuals who are party to a pending legal matter before a judge or justice from contributing to that judge or justice's campaign committee. It also prohibits independent or political committees that are primarily funded by members of a limited liability company from making contributions if the company or its officers/directors are party to a pending legal matter before the judge or justice. The bill imposes criminal penalties for violations, including fines and imprisonment. The aim is to prevent potential conflicts of interest and undue influence in the judicial system.
