Latest Action
Act 228, on 07/10/2026 (Gov. Msg. No. 1330).
Jul 10, 2026
Summary
The bill bars any executive branch employee who is nominated or appointed by the governor to a paid, Senate‑confirmed position from organizing, attending, hosting, or soliciting contributions for political fundraisers. It still allows those employees to vote, make personal donations, and express opinions as private citizens. The goal is to avoid the appearance that government decisions, especially contract awards, are influenced by campaign contributions.
