  • Reduces contribution limits for non-statewide candidates: from $6,800 to $3,400 for candidates in districts with over 250,000 population, and establishes tiered reductions for smaller districts.

  • Removes references to section 46 from contribution limitation sections and repeals section 46 of the Michigan Campaign Finance Act entirely.

  • Maintains existing multiplier-based contribution limits for independent committees and political party committees (10 times or 20 times individual limits depending on committee type).

  • Preserves exemptions for family contributions and bundled contributions to statewide candidates while applying the same reduced contribution limits to most other contributors.
