Mich. Admin. Code R. 169.63 - Unauthorized disbursement
Rule 63.
(1) An
officeholder's expense fund report shall include information which is
sufficient to establish that each disbursement from the fund was for the
payment of an expense incidental to the elected public official's
office.
(2) If, upon examination of
a report, the secretary of state is unable to determine whether a disbursement
from an officeholder's expense fund was made in compliance with the act and
these rules, the secretary of state shall request additional information or
documentation which is sufficient to establish that the disbursement was for an
expense incidental to office.
(3)
If the secretary of state determines, after receiving the information or
documentation required under subrule (2) of this rule, that a disbursement from
an officeholder's expense fund was not made in compliance with the act and
these rules, the secretary of state shall request the public official to
reimburse an amount equivalent to the unauthorized disbursement to the
officeholder's expense fund.
(4) If
a public official fails to respond within 21 days to a request made under
subrule (2) or (3) of this rule, the secretary of state shall refer the matter
to the attorney general for commencement of an action to recover the
unauthorized disbursement from the officeholder's expense fund. A referral made
under this subrule shall not prevent the secretary of state from proceeding
under part 5 of these rules.
