IN RE: OPPOSITION TO SENATE AMENDMENT TO SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL 4075
MOVING THE CLAWSON-TROY DISTRICT COURT INTO THE 52ND DISTRICT
UNDER COUNTY CONTROL
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Substitute for House Bill 4075 mandates the conversion of 18 of the
remaining statewide municipal courts to district courts including those in Clawson and Troy, and
WHEREAS, this bill as it passed the House of Representatives June 28, 1977 specified
that, the Clawson and Troy Municipal Courts would be joined together as the 49th District Court,
a district of the third class, and
WHEREAS, prior to the passage of Substitute for House Bill 4075 in the Senate an
amendment was adopted to move the Clawson and troy Courts from the 49th District to the
county-controlled 52nd District Court or the fourth division, and
WHEREAS, moving these courts from the independent 49th District to the County-operated
52nd District might set a precedent whereby other district courts would request membership in the
52nd District and fully expect to be accepted With all financial considerations being assumed by
the county, and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
opposes the Senate amendment switching the 49th District Court to the fourth division of the 52nd
district, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Clerk be directed to forward copies of this
resolution to Oakland County's state legislators and the County's Legislative Agent.
Mr, Chairman, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.
