Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends Michigan's statute of limitations for claims against the state government, specifically modifying Section 6452 of the Revised Judicature Act. The bill maintains the existing three-year time limit for filing claims with the Court of Claims, but adds two specific exceptions to this limitation: claims for compensation under the Wrongful Imprisonment Compensation Act and claims to which another specific legal section (section 5851b) applies. The bill applies retroactively to ongoing legal actions and will only take effect if two related Senate Bills (SB 258 and SB 257) are also enacted into law. The legislation preserves the attorney general's existing rights to petition for personal representatives and guardians, and continues to follow the general statutes of limitations outlined in Chapter 58. This modification appears aimed at providing more flexible legal recourse in certain specific types of claims against the state government, potentially allowing some claims that might have been previously time-barred to proceed.
