Proposal 2022-1, the constitutional amendment adopted by voters in the November 2022 election, incorporated personal financial disclosure requirements into Article IV, Section 10 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963.

Under the Constitution’s new requirements, the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and each member of the Legislature must submit an annual financial disclosure report that specifies assets, liabilities, sources of earned income, and other personal financial information.

The amendment also required that the Legislature enact implementing legislation, which was signed into law on December 7, 2023. Public Acts 267 and 281 through 284 create the Public Officers Financial Disclosure Act and the Candidate for Office Financial Disclosure Act, which, collectively:

• codify the Constitutional Requirements
• empower the Secretary of State to implement and enforce the provisions
• require candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and each member of the Legislature to also report.
• allow for fines for noncompliance and create additional requirements for officials, candidates, and the Bureau of Elections

Public Act 267, among other election law changes, requires a candidate for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Senator or State Representative to file the financial disclosure report required by the Candidate for Office Financial Disclosure Act before they can take office.

The implementing legislation for Michigan’s Personal Financial Disclosure Acts are available on the Michigan Legislature’s website.
