AI Summary

This bill modifies Michigan's personal protection order (PPO) laws by establishing new requirements for service of process and creating a special fund to support PPO service. The bill updates section 2950a of the Revised Judicature Act, adding detailed provisions about how personal protection orders must be served, particularly by law enforcement agencies. Key changes include mandating that law enforcement make at least three attempts to serve an order within 10 calendar days, with specific notification requirements if service is unsuccessful. The bill also creates a Personal Protection Order Service Fund in the state treasury, which will be administered by the Department of State Police and used to cover the costs of serving court documents related to personal protection orders. The fund can receive money from state and federal appropriations and grants, and its primary purpose is to ensure that PPO service complies with federal violence against women act requirements. Additionally, the bill makes several technical modifications to existing PPO laws, such as updating language, clarifying service procedures, and ensuring that law enforcement agencies properly enter and track these orders in the Law Enforcement Information Network (L.E.I.N.).
