Michigan lawmakers pass bills to protect officials' privacy and boost security amid rising threats, backed by $6M.
Michigan lawmakers are advancing legislation to enhance security for elected officials amid rising threats, including a bill to shield personal information like home addresses from public records and another granting legislative sergeants-at-arms expanded authority to investigate threats and provide protection beyond the Capitol, backed by $6 million in funding.
The measures follow protests outside a lawmaker’s home and national incidents of political violence, with bipartisan support citing safety concerns.
Critics warn the expansion of power could undermine transparency and accountability, while a 2023 survey found 43% of state legislators have experienced threats.
