Abstract
(HB4064 · 103rd Legislature) Public employees and officers: ethics; state senators and representatives; prohibit from engaging in certain lobbying activities. Amends 1978 PA 472 (MCL 4.411 - 4.431) by adding sec. 6c. Latest action (2026-07-03): Bill Ordered Enrolled
Why this matters
For Michigan lawmakers, lobbyists, and taxpayers, HB4064 would close a gap in the state’s lobbying-ethics framework by restricting the lobbying activities of sitting legislators — complementing the post-service cooling-off rules for former legislators (HB4062) and former executive officers (HB4063). Together the three bills define a fuller regime governing when and how current and former officials may lobby state government. Fiscal impact is indirect but the rules shape the market for legislative influence.
