Allows courts to consider extrinsic evidence when challenging a statute for failing to follow constitutional procedure.
This bill amends Michigan's civil procedure law to allow courts to consider extrinsic evidence when determining if a statute was enacted in violation of a constitutional procedural requirement. The court may admit such evidence if it is otherwise admissible under existing rules. The bill also specifies that printed copies of state constitutions, laws, and resolutions are sufficient evidence in court.
