Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to HB 5197 updates sections of the Michigan Campaign Finance Act by clarifying definitions related to campaign filings. It adds a new definition for "foreign national," which helps specify who is not allowed to contribute to Michigan campaigns. This change is important because it aims to enhance transparency and prevent foreign influence in local elections, ensuring that only eligible voters' voices are heard.
