An excerpt of Dentons’ Political Law Playbook.
New Legislation Would Block Campaign Money from Michigan’s Power Utilities – A Michigan Representative introduced a pair of bills that together would block state-regulated energy utility companies from making donations to political nonprofits and political action committees. If adopted, the bills would block officials at multiple levels of Michigan’s government from taking money from utility companies, utility board members, employees, and their family members, and from nonprofits that have a utility official or worker sitting on their board. A utility company found to violate the proposed legislation would be subject to a civil fine up to 10 times the size of the contribution.
