Civil procedure: costs and fees; fee for publication of legal notice; remove sunset for inflation adjustment. Amends sec. 2534 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.2534).

This bill removes the expiration date for a provision that allows the state to adjust legal notice publication fees based on inflation. It affects newspapers that publish required legal notices and the Department of Treasury, which is responsible for calculating these adjustments. Under the bill, fees will continue to be updated annually using the Consumer Price Index starting from March 1, 2026, ensuring the rates remain current without a fixed end date. The legislation also maintains existing rules that cap standard publication costs and prohibit newspapers from charging higher rates for political notices compared to similar commercial ads.
