Michigan SB0694 amends the Revised Judicature Act of 1961 to change the scheduling of the primary election for district judgeships from August to May. The bill specifies that additional district judgeships can only be filled by election if approved by the district control unit and filed with the state court administrator before the May primary. It also details the process for creating new judicial circuits and judgeships, including the requirement for county board of commissioners' approval and notification to the state court administrator.
