Abstract
(SB1087 · 103rd Legislature) Businesses: limited liability companies; power of limited liability companies to spend in elections or ballot issues; revoke. Amends secs. 105, 210, 211 & 1008 of 1993 PA 23 (MCL 450.4105 et seq.) & adds sec. 210a. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1085’26, SB 1086’26 Latest action (2026-07-03): Senate Co-sponsor(s) Named: Mallory Mcmorrow
Why this matters
SB 1087 signals bicameral momentum for stripping LLCs of election and ballot-issue spending powers, meaning Michigan businesses organized as LLCs could face a statutory prohibition on political expenditures regardless of which chamber advances first. For business owners, compliance officers, and campaign committees, the Senate-side vehicle raises the odds that the three-entity package (corporations, nonprofits, LLCs) becomes law and expands the pool of legislative paths for enactment.
