MI HB6213

Replaces the "state commissioner of health" with the "director of the department of health and human services" throughout the statute for petitions regarding inoperative or improperly operated drainage facilities.

Requires the director to notify the state senate and house of representatives in writing within 24 hours after filing a petition with circuit court regarding public health endangerment from drainage facilities.

Changes jurisdiction from probate court to circuit court for all proceedings related to drain facility petitions, apportionments, appeals, and board of review appointments.

Replaces references to "state highway commissioner" with "director of the state transportation department" regarding apportionment of benefits and participation in appeal proceedings.

Updates procedural language and terminology throughout the section for clarity (e.g., changing "whenever" to "if," "menace" to "endangerment," and modernizing grammatical references).
