(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

 

organization providing the compensation on the front of the

this requirement is not invalid and no sanctions apply solely
