This bill amends Michigan's Business Corporation Act to prohibit corporations, both domestic and foreign, from spending money to support or oppose candidates, political parties, political committees, or ballot questions. If a corporation violates this, the act is invalid and can lead to dissolution for domestic corporations or revocation of authority for foreign corporations. These new rules do not apply to existing contracts or to bona fide news reporting, unless the media outlet is controlled by a political entity.
