RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 4686 AND RELATED LEGISLATION
ESTABLISHING AND IMPLEMENTING A DOMESTIC RELATIONS COU
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the 131-page House Bill 4686 would establish
a Domestic Relations Court as separate and distinct from the
Circuit and Probate Court of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the creation of a Domestic Relations Court would
make additional demands on docketing and clerical personnel
who are already overburdened; and
WHEREAS this proposed legislation makes no provision
for funding of additional personnel and facilities which would
be required if the legislation were enacted; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Circuit Court judges have
reviewed House Bill 4686 and have agreed unanimously that
the legislation is detrimental to both the proper administration
of justice and to the best interests of the Citizens of Michigan.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners take a position opposing House Bill
4686 and the 26 other bills in the domestic relations court
establishment package.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution
be sent to the State legislators who represent Oakland County
and to the County's legislative agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government
Committee, I move the adoption of the forgoing resolution.
