This bill modifies how fines and court costs are distributed among counties and local governments in Michigan's district courts. It primarily affects county treasurers, local political subdivisions, and the courts that assess these penalties. The legislation updates the rules for allocating money from civil infractions, specifying different percentages that go to libraries versus local governments depending on the type of violation and the district involved. It also clarifies definitions for commercial vehicles and outlines how fines related to specific vehicle code violations should be handled. Additionally, the bill allows local governments to create their own bureaus to process civil infraction admissions if they choose.
