Representative Lynn Afendoulis (R-Grand Rapids Twp.) introduced legislation she believes will add more accountability to the state’s campaign finance laws. The plan would create a minimum penalty for fines imposed for violations of campaign finance laws. According to the bill sponsor, the current system has been insignificant and ineffective. The bill requires the Secretary of State to impose a fine of no less than 25% of the total amount spent on a campaign ad that violates the law. It has been referred to the House Elections and Ethics Committee for consideration.
