(MCL 168.1 to 168.992) by adding section 482a.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 482a. If an individual is receiving compensation for

 

circulating a petition described in section 482, the petition shall

 

indicate that fact and state the name of the individual or

this requirement is not invalid and no sanctions apply solely
