MI HB5650

Requires the Attorney General to submit quarterly reports to House and Senate appropriations and oversight committees for any litigation where state expenditures exceed or are estimated to exceed $250,000

Reports must include an accounting of expenditures with future estimates, an explanation of the litigation, and justification for the spending

Creates a separate reporting threshold for litigation exceeding $1,000,000 in state expenditures, requiring the same quarterly reporting to the same legislative committees

Authorizes committee members to seek judicial relief, including a writ of mandamus, if the Attorney General fails to submit required reports, with mandatory award of costs and attorney fees

Courts may impose civil fines up to $1,000 per day for overdue reports, payable from the Attorney General's department appropriation rather than the general fund, and the Auditor General must submit a report detailing expenditures for any violations
