Senate Bill 471 (Substitute S-3 as reported)

Sponsor:  Senator Dave Robertson

Committee:  Judiciary

 

CONTENT

 

The bill would amend the Revised Judicature Act to specify that the fourth division of the 67th Judicial District would include the City of Fenton.

 

The 67th Judicial District consists of Genesee County, except for the City of Flint. The district is divided into four election divisions. The fourth division consists of the Cities of Fenton, Grand Blanc, and Swartz Creek and the Townships of Argentine, Clayton, Fenton, Gaines, Grand Blanc, and Mundy.

 

If the governing bodies of Genesee County and the City of Flint approve by resolutions the consolidation of the 67th district and the 68th district (which consists of the City of Flint), the 68th district will be abolished and the 67th district will consist of Genesee County and be divided into five election divisions. As with the current 67th district, the fourth division will consist of the Cities of Fenton, Grand Blanc, and Swartz Creek and the Townships of Argentine, Clayton, Fenton, Gaines, Grand Blanc, and Mundy. The fifth division will consist of Flint.

 

Under the bill, the fourth division of the 67th district, either as it is currently comprised or as it may be consolidated with the current 68th district, would include the City of Fenton, which is located in both Genesee County and Oakland County.

 

The bill would take effect 90 days after its enactment.
