Allows use of campaign funds for child care expenses for public officials.

This bill amends the Michigan campaign finance law to allow public officials to use campaign funds for caregiving expenses, specifically child care costs, that result directly from their duties in office. This provision aims to support public officials in managing their responsibilities while caring for dependents. The bill defines caregiving expenses and clarifies that these expenses are considered incidental and necessary for the conduct of their office duties.
