SB0147

Civil procedure: costs and fees; fee for publication of legal notice; remove sunset for inflation adjustment. Amends sec. 2534 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.2534).

Chamber Passed·4/29/25

Michigan SB0147 removes the sunset for inflation adjustments on legal notice publication fees.

Michigan SB0147 amends the state's civil procedure law to remove the sunset provision for annual inflation adjustments on fees for publishing legal notices in newspapers. Previously, the Department of Treasury was required to adjust these rates annually from March 1, 2018, to March 1, 2025, based on the Consumer Price Index. This bill ensures that these adjustments continue indefinitely, maintaining the fees' purchasing power over time.
