Civil procedure: costs and fees; revised judicature act; revise to reflect the distribution of certain fines related to automated speed enforcement systems. Amends sec. 8379 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.8379). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4132'23

This bill updates Michigan's Revised Judicature Act to clarify how fines and court costs are distributed, particularly for violations involving automated speed enforcement systems. It directs that most fines from standard traffic and penal law violations continue to go to county treasurers or local libraries, while specifically routing fines from camera-based speed violations to the county and fines for certain vehicle code violations to the state transportation department. The legislation also establishes new allocation rules for commercial vehicle violations, splitting the funds between the local jurisdiction where the citation was issued and the county for library purposes. These financial distribution changes are contingent upon the simultaneous passage of a companion bill that addresses related judicial procedures.
