Michigan HB5650 requires the attorney general to submit quarterly reports to specified legislative committees when state litigation expenditures exceed $250,000. The reports must detail expenditures, explain the litigation, and justify the costs. If the attorney general fails to submit a report, legislative committee members can seek judicial relief, including a writ of mandamus, to compel compliance. The court can award costs, reasonable attorney fees, and impose a civil fine of up to $1,000 per day for each overdue day.
