Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1961 PA 236, entitled"Revised judicature act of 1961,"by amending section 2529 (MCL 600.2529), as amended by 2023 PA 35.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 2529 of the Revised Judicature Act of 1961 to exempt the Attorney General from paying filing fees when initiating legal actions under Section 33 of the Telephone Solicitation Act, which is a law designed to regulate unsolicited phone calls. The Telephone Solicitation Act aims to protect consumers from unwanted telemarketing. This change means that when the Attorney General files a lawsuit to enforce the rules of the Telephone Solicitation Act, they will no longer have to pay the standard court filing fee, which is currently $150.00 for civil actions. This provision is tied to the enactment of another bill, Senate Bill 351 of the 103rd Legislature.
