MI HB5502

Amends the Revised Judicature Act to modify the Court of Appeals' jurisdiction over appeals from probate court orders and judgments, replacing previous appeal mechanisms in sections 861 and 863.

Establishes that all final judgments and final orders from circuit court, court of claims, and probate court are appealable as a matter of right to the Court of Appeals.

Specifies that certain final judgments and orders from the circuit court are reviewable only upon application for leave to appeal, including appeals from district court, municipal court, and probate court orders.

Removes references to recorder's court and ordinance violations in traffic and ordinance divisions, eliminating automatic appeal rights for those cases.

Repeals sections 861 and 863 of the Revised Judicature Act and takes effect 90 days after enactment, contingent on passage of HB 5503 or SB 633.
