AI Summary

This bill creates the Trial Court Funding Commission within the Department of Treasury. The commission is tasked with reviewing and recommending changes to the trial court funding system and the methods by which courts impose and allocate fees and costs, in light of the Michigan Supreme Court's decision in People v. Cunningham. The commission consists of members with experience in the state's court system, nominated by various stakeholder groups, and will file a final report with recommendations within two years of the bill's effective date. The bill is repealed once the final report is filed or two years after the effective date, whichever occurs first.
