Civil procedure: costs and fees; filing fees for attorney general in enforcing the telephone solicitation act; prohibit. Amends sec. 2529 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.2529). TIE BAR WITH: SB 1037'24
This bill amends Michigan's Revised Judicature Act to update the fees that individuals must pay to file various civil cases in circuit courts. It specifically sets new dollar amounts for filing civil actions, appeals, jury trial demands, and motions, while also establishing fee exemptions for certain family law matters involving child custody or support. The legislation includes provisions for waiving these fees for indigent parties and outlines how collected funds will be distributed to state and county treasurers. Because the bill is tied to another piece of legislation, it will only become effective if that companion bill is also passed into law.
