MI SB1056

Amends MCL 600.8251 to modify where district courts must sit in districts of the second class located in counties with populations between 575,000 and 700,000

Changes requirement for courts to sit at cities and incorporated villages from a mandatory 3,250 population threshold to a discretionary 10,000 population threshold in affected second class districts

Grants presiding judges authority to determine where courts sit when districts lack a county seat or cities with 10,000+ population, replacing previous provisions requiring majority judge agreement

Requires presiding judge assent (instead of majority judge agreement) for courts to sit at county seats outside the district, with board of commissioners approval

Maintains requirement that courts sit at least once weekly within the district and retain full powers and jurisdiction when sitting outside district boundaries
