A bill to amend 1919 PA 232, entitled “An act to supplement the laws of the state relating to the powers and duties of the attorney general and the institution and prosecution of actions thereby on behalf of the state, to authorize intervention in pending litigation on behalf of the people in certain cases, and to permit the bringing of any suit at law in which the state is a party plaintiff in the circuit court of Ingham county,” by repealing section 2 (MCL 14.102).
House Bills 5314 and 5315 repeal outdated statutory provisions and modernize the Michigan attorney general’s responsibilities by removing obsolete authority, clarifying current duties, and reaffirming the attorney general’s power to appoint a solicitor general and represent the state in legal matters when requested.
