Trial Court Funding Commission

The Michigan Legislature created the Trial Court Funding Commission (TCFC), through Public Act 65 of 2017, to review Michigan’s trial court funding system and make recommendations. This legislation was enacted in response to People v. Cunningham, a Michigan Supreme Court decision that determined state law does not provide courts with the authority to impose costs upon criminal defendants to fund the day-to-day operation of the courts. Public Act 65 of 2017 is now repealed since the Commission has concluded its work and filed its Final Report on September 6, 2019, in accordance with the Statute.
