SB 813 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Courts: district court; Oakland County district court seats; modify. Amends sec. 8123 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.8123).

This bill modifies the number of judges for specific Oakland County judicial districts in Michigan's court system. It reduces District 48 (covering Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and surrounding areas) from 3 to 2 judges, effective when a vacancy occurs or an incumbent doesn't seek re-election. Similarly, it reduces District 50 (Pontiac) from 4 to 3 judges under the same conditions. The changes apply only to these districts and do not alter other boundaries or court operations. The bill focuses on adjusting judicial staffing levels based on vacancy timing, not new policies.
