New budget will help Michigan courts improve access, efficiency

The Michigan judiciary will receive $34.6 million in new funding under the just-signed state budget for Fiscal Year 2024 and a supplemental budget for FY 2023. 

The budget incorporates many of the Michigan Judicial Council (MJC) Strategic Agenda areas identified by a wide range of judicial system stakeholders, including: funding and technology infrastructure; improving public engagement and problem-solving; racial and social equity; building public trust; and workforce excellence.

Budget highlights:

—Statewide Case Management System ($11,899,100)

—Juvenile Justice Services ($2,025,000)

—Data Transparency ($4,500,000)

—Juvenile Probation Data ($10,000,000)

—Justice for All ($475,000)

—Judicial Education ($300,000)

lThe Michigan Judicial Council was created in 2021 to make recommendations to the Supreme Court on matters pertinent to the administration of justice, including developing a strategic agenda for the judicial branch and suggesting proposals that would enhance the work of all courts. 

Incorporating input from a wide range of stakeholders—not to mention the general public—the MJC strategic agenda and operational plan will help Michigan’s judicial branch become more innovative, effective, and inclusive, improving the court experience for the public going forward.
