The bill amends section 1631 of the Revised Judicature Act of 1961, specifically addressing the proper venue for certain legal actions in Michigan. It establishes that the county where the state government seat is located is an appropriate venue for commencing and trying actions initiated by the attorney general on behalf of the state, as well as for actions where venue cannot be established under any other provisions.

Key changes include the removal of specific conditions under which the attorney general can commence actions, streamlining the language to clarify that an action can be initiated in this county if venue cannot be laid under any other provision. This amendment aims to simplify the legal framework regarding venue for state actions, ensuring clarity and efficiency in the judicial process.
