“Mr. Speaker and members of the House: I voted no on this bill because it unfairly suggests that legislative staffers are being given gifts and meals that are ‘over the top’ which is not the case. Our staff are serving legislators and members of the public in their capacity and are not elected by the voters as we legislators are. They generally work very long hours and give significant sacrifice.” House Bill No. 4691, entitled A bill to amend 1978 PA 472, entitled “An act to regulate political activity; to regulate lobbyists, lobbyist agents, and lobbying activities; to require registration of lobbyists and lobbyist agents; to require the filing of reports; to prescribe the powers and duties of the department of state; to prescribe penalties; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts,” (MCL 4.411 to 4.431) by adding section 7a.
