Gender-neutral language in Michigan divorce judgments for pension, annuity, and retirement benefits.

This bill amends Michigan's divorce laws to make certain references gender-neutral. It ensures that divorce judgments determine the rights of spouses in life insurance, endowment, or annuity policies and pension, annuity, or retirement benefits. The changes apply to divorces or separate maintenance actions filed after September 1, 2006, and include all components of retirement benefits unless expressly excluded in the judgment.
