Michigan HB6109 authorizes filing fees in lieu of nominating petitions for certain judicial and statewide offices.

Michigan HB6109 amends the state's election laws to allow candidates for certain judicial and statewide offices to pay a nonrefundable filing fee instead of collecting and submitting nominating petition signatures. This applies to offices such as judge of the district court, judge of the circuit court, judge of the court of appeals, and United States Senator. The filing fee amount is set at the minimum number of required nominating petition signatures for that office. The filing fee must be deposited in the general fund of the state or the county, depending on the office.
