The bill amends the Revised Judicature Act of 1961 by updating the structure and number of judges in various judicial districts within Oakland County, Michigan. Specifically, it clarifies the composition of the forty-eighth district, which includes the cities of Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Sylvan Lake, Keego Harbor, and Orchard Lake Village, as well as the townships of Bloomfield and West Bloomfield. The bill removes previous provisions that specified the number of judges would change based on certain conditions, establishing that the forty-eighth district will have 3 judges, and later transition to 2 judges without the conditional language.

Additionally, the bill addresses the fiftieth district, which consists of the city of Pontiac, by removing the previous conditional structure regarding the number of judges. It establishes that the fiftieth district will have 3 judges, eliminating the previous provision that allowed for 4 judges until certain conditions were met. Overall, the bill streamlines the judicial structure in these districts by removing conditional language and providing a clearer framework for the number of judges assigned to each district.
