This bill amends the Revised Judicature Act of 1961 by updating section 518, which pertains to the composition of the seventeenth judicial circuit in Kent County, Michigan. The amendment increases the number of judges in this circuit from 10 to 11 and allows for the addition of 2 more judges, rather than the previously allowed 1.

Furthermore, the bill changes the effective date for the addition of these judges from January 1, 2017, to January 1, 2027. This adjustment reflects a legislative decision to expand judicial resources in Kent County to better serve the community's needs.
