2002 House Bill 6260

Senate Roll Call 971: Passed

To allow a system of concurrent jurisdiction among trial courts, including probate, circuit, and probate courts. This would allow judges from a less busy circuit, district or probate court to hear cases from an overloaded one of the other types of trial court. The chief circuit, probate, and district court judges in a circuit would be authorized to arrange a plan. Certain kinds of cases would not be subject to the plan. See also Senate Bill 1400.
