Michigan moves $1 million between court funds

Michigan must move $1 million from the juror compensation reimbursement fund to the court equity fund. The transfer uses money left uncommitted at the end of the state budget year ending September 30, 2027. The law establishes the juror fund, which receives money from driver license clearance fees and jury demand fees. Investment income stays in the fund, and investments cannot interfere with required payments or allocations. Uncommitted year-end money generally stays in the fund rather than returning to the state's general fund.

Michigan redirects fees to appeals court

Fees collected under section 321 now support operating costs for Michigan's Court of Appeals. That money no longer supports the probation swift and sure sanctions program. The law took effect upon enactment and does not specify a fee amount.
