MI SB1514

Prohibits public employers from hiring or transferring individuals to policy-making positions or positions with discretionary authority over public assets unless they submit an affidavit confirming they have not been convicted of a felony involving dishonesty, deceit, fraud, or breach of public trust within the preceding 20 years, where the conviction was related to official capacity in government.

Requires public employers to investigate current employees in policy-making or discretionary positions if there is reason to believe they meet the disqualifying conviction criteria, and removes them from the position if conviction is confirmed.

Defines "public employer" to include the state, cities, villages, townships, counties, and all state departments, boards, agencies, institutions, commissions, authorities, schools, universities, and special districts.

Makes submitting a false affidavit under this act punishable as perjury.

Act takes effect only upon ratification of Senate Joint Resolution V of the 95th Legislature as an amendment to the Michigan Constitution.
