In The Chair: Smit The House agreed to the title of the bill. Rep. Posthumus moved that the bill be given immediate effect. The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor. Rep. Wooden, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement: “Mr. Speaker and members of the House: While I support the legislation’s intent and appreciate the need to establish a final date to place replacement nominees on the ballot in the case of death or disqualification, I am concerned setting this deadline without placing a remedy for when a candidate dies within the 55-day period opens unintended consequences.” Rep. Posthumus moved that House Bill No. 5468 be placed on its immediate passage. The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor. House Bill No. 5468, entitled A bill to amend 1954 PA 116, entitled “Michigan election law,” by amending sections 303, 386, 544c, and 590h (MCL 168.303, 168.386, 168.544c, and 168.590h), sections 303, 544c, and 590h as amended by 2018 PA 650 and section 386 as amended by 2014 PA 94, and by adding section 544g.
