Michigan House leaders propose wide-ranging changes to government ethics laws

Michigan House leadership rolled out an array of proposed government ethics bills this week with buy-in from both parties and the group behind the state’s independent redistricting initiative.
In a Tuesday announcement, House Speaker Jason Wentworth and House Democratic Leader Donna Lasinski announced a sweeping set of proposed changes that if signed into law would subject Michigan lawmakers and top state officers to financial disclosure, prohibit lawmakers from voting on conflicts of interest and prevent exiting lawmakers from stepping through the “revolving door” into lobbying for two years.
Docking the pay of wayward lawmakers, curbing the legislative revolving door and new standing ethics committees highlight some of the proposals included in a slate of bipartisan bills unveiled Tuesday.
The measures track with a series of other proposals offered by Republicans and Democrats earlier this year, moves aimed at reversing Michigan s oft-criticized standing as one of the least transparent states in the nation.
“When you get outside of the small Lansing and Capitol community and tell people back home how their state government operates, you really see how bizarre some of our rules are and why so many people are losing their faith in government,” House Speaker Jason Wentworth, R-Farwell, said in a statement.

Michigan s House elections committee heard testimony Tuesday in support of a pair of bills that would dramatically change how the state awards its Electoral College votes.
Under legislation introduced by Rep. Beau LaFave, R-Iron Mountain, and Rep. Jeff Yaroch, R-Richmond, Electoral College votes would be awarded to the winner in each congressional district with two votes going to the statewide winner. Michigan currently awards all its Electoral College votes to the statewide winner.
