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 stipulated the number of judges would change based on certain conditions, establishing that the forty-eighth district will have 3 judges, and will transition to 2 judges under new criteria.

Additionally, the bill addresses the fiftieth district, which consists solely of the city of Pontiac. It eliminates the previous conditional language regarding the number of judges, confirming that the district will have 3 judges. The bill also includes a new insertion stating "THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT," indicating the formal introduction of the legislation. Overall, the amendments aim to streamline the judicial structure in these districts by providing clear and definitive numbers of judges without conditional changes.
