Bill > HB4833

This bill modifies the number of judges in several district courts within Oakland County, Michigan, primarily by reducing the number of judges in the 48th and 50th districts. Specifically, the bill eliminates previous language that outlined a phased reduction of judges, instead directly specifying that the 48th district (which includes Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and several other cities and townships) will now have 2 judges instead of 3, and the 50th district (which consists of the city of Pontiac) will have 3 judges instead of 4. The bill removes the previous conditional language about when these reductions would take effect, such as upon a judge's vacancy or when an incumbent judge chooses not to seek re-election. The other district courts in Oakland County, including the 43rd, 44th, 45th, 46th, 47th, 51st, and 52nd districts, remain unchanged in their number of judges and geographical composition. These district courts are classified as either second or third class based on their population and judicial needs, with the changes reflecting potential adjustments in workload or judicial efficiency for these specific districts.
