Michigan For-Profit Charter School Ban Amendment (2012)
| Not on Ballot |

| This measure was not put on an election ballot |
The Michigan For-Profit Charter School Ban Amendment did not make the November 6, 2012 statewide ballot in Michigan as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment.
The proposed measure would have banned the operation of for-profit charter schools in Michigan. The proposal was sponsored by Sens. Rebekah Warren and Hoon-Yung Hopgood. State aid for schools "should go to kids not corporate bottom lines," Warren said.[1]
According to reports, the proposal was introduced in response to a bill passed by the Senate in October 2011 that would lift the cap on the number of charter schools in the state. That bill passed 20-18 in the Senate and was sent to the education committee of the Michigan House.[2]
Path to the ballot
To place the measure on the ballot, a minimum two-thirds vote was required in both the House and the Senate.
