HB 5719 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Criminal procedure: prosecuting attorneys; prosecuting attorneys coordinating council; modify. Amends secs. 2, 3 & 4 of 1972 PA 203 (MCL 49.102 et seq.).

This bill modifies the Prosecuting Attorneys Coordinating Office Act to restructure how the office operates within the Department of Attorney General. It creates an autonomous office led by a council of five members, including the attorney general and representatives from different county population sizes, to coordinate prosecutorial work across the state. The office will have its own executive secretary appointed by the council, with independent authority to manage personnel, budgeting, and procurement while receiving administrative support from the department. Council members serve one-year terms and must vacate their positions if they leave their roles as prosecuting attorneys or the attorney general.
