SB 429 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Courts: other; Antrim County trial court system; establish. Amends secs. 810a, 8151 & 8176 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.810a et seq.) & adds sec. 8165.

SB 429 establishes the 99th Judicial District, which consists solely of Antrim County, under Michigan's Revised Judicature Act. It designates the Antrim County probate judge as the district court judge for this new district, formalizing a role currently held under existing law (Section 810a). The bill takes effect January 1, 2026, and directly affects Antrim County residents by creating a dedicated trial court system for the county. This change streamlines local court operations without adding new judgeships or altering judicial election processes.
