Michigan HB5198 requires certification that contributions for election administration are not from foreign nationals.

Michigan HB5198 amends the 1954 PA 116 by adding section 645a, which mandates that any person entering into an agreement with a governmental entity for election administration must certify that they are not knowingly recipients of foreign donations. This certification must be filed with the secretary of state and renewed annually. If new information arises that alters the certification, it must be updated within five business days. The secretary of state is required to maintain records of these certifications and post them on the department's website.
