The bill amends section 28 of the 1846 RS 12, which pertains to the responsibilities of the attorney general in Michigan. It establishes that the attorney general is responsible for prosecuting and defending all actions in the supreme court where the state is interested or a party. Additionally, the attorney general has the discretion to designate an attorney as the solicitor general, who will manage cases in the supreme court and perform other assigned duties under the attorney general's direction.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the attorney general shall intervene and represent the people of Michigan in any court or tribunal within the state when requested by the governor or either branch of the legislature, or when deemed necessary for the state's interests. This amendment aims to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the attorney general's role in legal proceedings involving the state.
