The Michigan Gaming Control & Revenue Act, as amended, prohibits the following persons from making contributions to a state or local elective office-holder, candidate, candidate committee, political party committee, independent committee (as defined by the Michigan Campaign Finance Act), or committee organized by a state legislative caucus:
-
A person who holds a Casino License issued by the MGCB.
- A person who holds a Supplier License issued by the MGCB.
- A person who holds a 1% interest in either type of licensee.
- A person who holds a 1% interest in the buildings, facilities or rooms connected to a casino, or a 1% interest in any other facility in the city that is under the control of a casino licensee or affiliated company ("Casino enterprise").
- An officer or managerial employee of a licensee or casino enterprise.
- An officer of any entity that holds a 1% interest in a licensee or casino enterprise.
- An independent committee of a licensee or casino enterprise.
-
A person subject to this prohibition is also prohibited from making contributions through a legal entity established, directed or controlled by that person.
Note - These prohibitions do not apply to a ballot question committee as defined by the Michigan Campaign Finance Act, nor do they apply to contributions made to national parties, committees, candidates, etc.
