2013 Senate Bill 652

House Roll Call 373: Passed

To establish that the venue for all legal claims against state agencies, commissions, boards, etc., which is the state “court of claims”, will no longer be the Ingham County circuit court, and instead will be the state Court of Appeals (which consists of 24 judges elected in four regional elections). Specifically, the state Supreme Court would assign four Court of Appeals judges to be the new Court of Claims, who would have to come from at least two of the four COA regions.
