LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Democrats in the Michigan House are proposing legislation they say would provide more accountability from public officials.

The bills detailed Thursday would require personal financial disclosure forms for lawmakers and some other public officials. Some elected officials couldn't become lobbyists until they've been out of office for at least two years.

Another measure would ban the state from awarding contracts worth more than $100,000 to a contractor who's made campaign contributions to elected officials.

Some of the measures are similar to ones that have been introduced for years without becoming law.

Republicans who hold the majority in the House say they'll review the bills. Republicans say an initial concern is that it appears some of the proposed campaign finance restrictions cover corporations but not labor unions.
