Financial institutions: mortgage brokers and lenders; appeals under the revised judicature act of 1961; modify. Amends sec. 2529 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.2529). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6177'26

HB 6204 amends Michigan's Revised Judicature Act to update the fees that individuals must pay to the clerk of the circuit court when filing various legal documents. The bill establishes specific dollar amounts for filing civil actions, appealing lower court decisions, demanding a jury trial, and handling cases involving child custody or support. It also sets new rates for motions, garnishment writs, and certain court services while outlining how these funds are distributed to county and state treasurers. Additionally, the legislation clarifies circumstances under which these fees can be waived or suspended, such as for indigent parties or public officers acting in their official capacity. This measure is tied to another bill, HB 6177, and will only take effect if that companion legislation is also enacted.
