Establishes the 99th judicial district in Antrim County, Michigan, with the county's probate judge serving as the district judge.

This bill amends Michigan law to establish the 99th judicial district, consisting solely of Antrim County. The county's probate judge will serve as the district judge, holding the jurisdiction, powers, duties, and title of both a probate judge and a district judge. The creation of this new district does not require approval from the district control unit. The bill also modifies the composition of the 86th judicial district, reducing its number of judges from three to two. The changes take effect on January 1, 2026.
