Bill overview
This bill proposes to change the timing of the August primary election in Michigan to a May primary election. It does this by amending the Revised Judicature Act of 1961, requiring county boards of commissioners to approve the creation of circuit, probate, and district judgeships by May 16th before the May primary. The bill also outlines procedures for temporarily reducing and restoring the number of judgeships within a judicial circuit or district, and clarifies the requirements for county approval in these scenarios.
