MI SB1251

Amends Michigan election law to add definition of "Commission" referring to the fair political practices commission created under the Michigan campaign finance act.

Requires elected candidates whose campaign committees received or expended more than $1,000 during an election cycle to file a postelection statement with the appropriate filing official before assuming office.

Postelection statement must be on a form prescribed by the commission and include signed attestations that all required campaign finance statements, reports, late fees, and fines have been filed or paid.

Postelection statement must include signed acknowledgment that making false statements is punishable by a fine up to $1,000 or imprisonment up to 5 years.

Establishes penalties: failure to file postelection statement is a misdemeanor with fine up to $500 or imprisonment up to 93 days; making false statements in the statement constitutes perjury under section 936.

Bill does not take effect unless Senate Bill 1250 of the 99th Legislature is enacted into law.
